Apply directly by emailing your resume and cover letter to info@talktimeboston.com

This position is PERFECT for the school SLP looking to work some extra hours in a private practice environment where they can slow down and take the time to support each individual child and their family, while in turn being supported by an amazing and dedicated team. Talk Time provides services to children from birth to adolescence, and cares deeply about providing treatment that is both meaningful and backed by clinical research and experience. We are currently looking for an "After-School" SLP to conduct individual and group treatment sessions in-person during high-demand afternoon hours. This position is per diem, with the opportunity to grow into a part or full time position. Talk Time Boston is a small, team-oriented private practice. We encourage our SLPs to collaborate and learn from one another during working hours--and to join us for team-building get-togethers after hours, from a simple night out to a day at Boda Borg! If this sounds like a good fit, please reach out. We'd love to meet you. 

3—5 sessions are immediately available on Sundays and during after-school hours (2pm—7pm). More sessions may be added over a ramp-up period. Coverage sessions will be available as needed (e.g., if another SLP is out sick or on PTO).
