Clinical Director, Speech Language Pathology (CCC-SLP)

Annual compensation: $85,000–$105,000

Job Type: Full-time

Work Setting: In-person, clinic

Location: Chicago, IL

Let’s be real: not all therapy companies are created equal. Some places give you a title and a to-do list. At North Shore Pediatric Therapy, you get something different: a career you’re proud to talk about.

We’re the kind of company where:

• You’ll actually feel good wearing the swag, because it represents a place that values assent-based, ethical care and backs clinicians with real resources.
• You'll be proud to lead the team. Our SLPs and Mental Health team members will look to you for guidance, mentorship, and vision. You’ll shape not just individual sessions, but the way care is delivered across the program.
• Unlike most providers, our centers practice true interdisciplinary care. BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, PTs, neuropsychologists, and mental health providers work side by side, often co-treating, so kids get support that reflects the whole picture of who they are.
• You’ll grow leaders, not just clinicians. Your mentorship and coaching create confident therapists who are ready for their next step. Many of our leaders started as NSPT clinicians and advanced because of the support they received here.

This isn’t just another SLP role. It’s a leadership seat where your voice matters, your ideas shape the future, and your energy fuels a team that’s redefining pediatric therapy.

Who Will Love This Job

• A natural coach: You love helping people grow and get excited when your team succeeds.
• A culture-builder: You believe collaboration and laughter go hand-in-hand with great care.
• A detail + big-picture thinker: You can toggle from reviewing documentation to mapping out a 5-year vision without missing a beat.
• A problem-solver: Scheduling puzzles, tricky conversations, and “no easy answer” questions don’t scare you.
• A connector: You enjoy building relationships across disciplines, from BCBAs to OTs to teachers and families.
• A little bit goofy: You’re the kind of leader who might organize a team lunch, celebrate small wins with confetti, or bring creative energy to everyday moments.

What You’Ll Do

• Lead and grow our SLP team while supporting MH operations.
• Drive clinical quality, training, and performance standards.
• Recruit, onboard, and mentor new clinicians.
• Partner with doctors, teachers, BCBAs, OTs, PTs, and others to deliver interdisciplinary care.
• Support strategic planning, efficiency, and operational improvements across programs.
• Build a culture of collaboration, growth, and support.

What You Bring

• CCC-SLP, licensed and in good standing.
• 5+ years of experience (pediatrics preferred).
• 1+ year of leadership/supervisory experience.
• Strong communicator who is proactive and detail-oriented.
• Passion for serving children and families, especially those with autism and developmental needs.
• Ability to perform essential functions such as sitting, standing, bending, and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs. Reasonable accommodations may be made.

Why Join North Shore Pediatric Therapy?

Because leadership here matters. You’ll see your influence in:

• Kids who thrive because of the care your team delivers.
• Clinicians who grow under your coaching and guidance.
• Programs that improve because you helped design them.

And because we know great leaders deserve great support, here’s what we offer:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family.
• 25+ days off in your first year through PTO + 7 paid holidays.
• 401(k) with company match to plan for your future.
• $500 professional development stipend + free in-house CEUs — we invest in your growth.
• A supportive environment where feedback fuels growth, creativity sparks ideas, and laughter is part of the job.

We know you’re already doing incredible work where you are, but at North Shore Pediatric Therapy, we’re committed to creating an environment where you can do even more — while being supported, celebrated, and inspired along the way. Whether you’re ready to make a move or just want to explore your options, we’d love to show you what else is out there. Let’s talk about how we can help you lead, inspire, and grow in your career.
