Kid Connections Therapy is a pediatric speech therapy private practice that uses a family-centered, child-focused approach to speech and language services. Using naturalistic, play-based strategies, we help children understand language and communicate in their environment. We recognize the important role that families play in a child's development and incorporate strategies that best fit the needs of the family.

We strive to reach meaningful connections through communication and uphold our core values of relationships, integrity, and growth mindset.

About Kid Connections Therapy

At Kid Connections Therapy, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to connect, communicate, and thrive.

We are a pediatric speech-language therapy private practice dedicated to providing individualized, evidence-based, and family-centered care. Through playful, relationship-focused therapy, we help children develop meaningful communication skills while empowering families to support their child's growth.

Our team is guided by three core values: relationships, integrity, and a growth mindset. We believe these values are just as important in how we support one another as they are in how we serve our clients and families.

We strive to create a collaborative, supportive work environment where clinicians feel valued, have opportunities to grow, and can do meaningful work.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a compassionate, enthusiastic Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP) to join our Odenton team for maternity leave coverage, anticipated from January 4 through April 9, 2027.

This is a flexible, part-time opportunity for a clinician interested in working with a pediatric caseload during after-school hours. The position is expected to include approximately 5–10 billable hours per week, with 6.75–15 total scheduled working hours depending on caseload.

Whether you're a school-based SLP looking for additional hours or an experienced clinician seeking a smaller, consistent caseload, we'd love to connect!

Interested in something longer-term? While this position begins as maternity leave coverage, we have an ongoing need for after-school clinicians. For the right fit, there may be opportunities to expand your caseload and continue as a permanent part-time member of our team beyond April 2027.

What You'll Do

• Provide individualized, evidence-based speech and language therapy to pediatric clients
• Develop and implement treatment plans that reflect each child's strengths, needs, and goals
• Use engaging, play-based, and functional approaches to support meaningful communication
• Collaborate with families and provide practical coaching and strategies to encourage progress beyond therapy sessions
• Monitor progress, adjust interventions, and maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation
• Collaborate with fellow clinicians and administrative staff to support coordinated, high-quality care
• Conduct evaluations and reassessments as needed, depending on scheduling availability

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology or Communication Sciences and Disorders
• Current Maryland Speech-Language Pathologist license
• Current ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP)
• Experience providing speech and language therapy to pediatric clients
• Availability during weekday after-school hours
• Strong clinical reasoning, communication, and organizational skills
• Ability to independently manage a pediatric therapy caseload and maintain timely documentation
• Commitment to ethical, evidence-based, family-centered care

Our Ideal Candidate

• Brings warmth, creativity, and playfulness to their clinical work
• Values building meaningful relationships with children, caregivers, and colleagues
• Embraces a strengths-based, individualized approach to therapy
• Enjoys collaboration while working confidently and independently
• Demonstrates flexibility, curiosity, and a growth mindset
• Is passionate about helping children communicate and participate more fully in their everyday lives

Why Join Kid Connections Therapy?

We recognize that great therapy happens when clinicians have the support, resources, and flexibility to do their best work.

Here's what you can expect:

• Flexible part-time scheduling: After-school hours that may complement school-based employment, family commitments, or other professional responsibilities
• Compensation for all working time: Paid time includes direct therapy, documentation, preparation, and clinical collaboration—not just patient-facing appointments
• Predictable compensation: Scheduled time remains compensated during patient cancellations, subject to established productivity expectations
• Professional liability coverage: Employer-provided professional liability insurance
• Resources to support your work: Company-provided computer, clinical materials, and access to our electronic medical record system
• Administrative support: Assistance with scheduling, billing, and insurance coordination so you can focus on clinical care
• Collaborative team environment: Work alongside clinicians who value sharing ideas, supporting one another, and providing high-quality care
• Potential for ongoing employment: Opportunity to expand your caseload or continue in a permanent part-time position beyond the initial coverage period

Compensation & Position Details

• Hourly Rate: $35–$40, based on experience and qualifications
• Employment Type: Part-time, W-2 employee
• Location: Odenton, Maryland (in person)
• Coverage Dates: January 4 – April 9, 2027
• Expected Caseload: Approximately 5–10 billable hours per week
• Scheduled Hours: Approximately 6.75–15 hours per week, depending on caseload
• Schedule: Weekday after-school availability, with flexibility based on clinician availability and practice needs
• Future Opportunities: Potential to increase hours or continue employment beyond April 2027, based on mutual fit and practice needs

This position does not include the benefits package offered to full-time employees. Professional liability insurance is provided, along with applicable legally required benefits and leave.
