Job Description & Requirements
Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) - School - (SLP - School)
StartDate: 8/17/2026 Available Shifts: 7 D Pay Rate: $1965.00 - $2025.00

This travel Speech-Language Pathologist assignment is based in a welcoming PreK–12 public school district in Weldon, North Carolina. Nestled along the Roanoke River, Weldon blends small-town charm with easy access to outdoor recreation, local history, and a close-knit community feel. The area is known for its scenic riverfront, fishing and boating opportunities, and a relaxed pace of life, making it an appealing home base for clinicians who enjoy a quieter setting with plenty of natural beauty. You will serve students across a PreK–12 grade span with a caseload of approximately 54 students. The role includes traveling between two schools within the district during the week, offering the opportunity to work with a broad range of ages and needs. Travel between sites is part of the position and mileage is not reimbursed. In this role, you will provide direct speech and language services guided by each student’s evaluation results and Individualized Education Program (IEP), ensuring that interventions are aligned with identified needs and educational goals. You will develop and update IEPs, including planning for upcoming school years, and collaborate closely with teachers to provide accommodations, modifications, and classroom-based strategies that support speech-language and hearing development. A typical day involves a mix of therapy sessions, consultations, and documentation. You will participate in team meetings such as MTSS and IEP conferences, explain evaluation findings to families and staff, and coordinate with case managers regarding student progress and meeting timelines. The district expects consistent documentation of services, monthly logs, and progress reports that are shared with parents on designated reporting days. The schedule is designed around a standard school-day shift with approximately 35 hours per week. The SLP will work with a diverse student population and may address a wide range of communication needs, including articulation, language disorders (semantics, morphology, syntax), pragmatics and social communication, autism spectrum disorder, auditory processing difficulties, and, when certified, hearing-related needs. Responsibilities include providing teachers with intervention strategies, integrating speech-language supports into classrooms when appropriate, and offering training to educators and parents so that skills are reinforced beyond therapy sessions. Maintaining a caseload that adheres to North Carolina Department of Public Instruction guidelines is an important part of this position. You will also be responsible for Medicaid billing for eligible students, ensuring that all services are properly documented and compliant with district and state requirements. All providers must complete and provide documentation of required background checks prior to beginning services. This assignment is well-suited for an SLP who is confident working independently in a school environment, enjoys collaborating with educators and families, and values the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a smaller, community-focused district. Weldon’s friendly atmosphere, manageable commute, and scenic surroundings make it a great fit for travelers looking for a rewarding professional experience in a supportive educational setting.
