Speech Language Pathologist (.8)
Spotter Staffing is hiring a part-time Speech-Language Pathologist for a middle school position near Fox Lake for the 2026–2027 school year.
This is a 4-day-per-week opportunity supporting middle school students with expressive language, receptive language, articulation, and light AAC needs. The clinician can choose their weekly schedule, but Thursdays are required due to IEP meetings. The position offers consistency, flexibility, and a highly collaborative special education environment.
Position Overview
- 4 days per week
- 28 paid hours weekly
- School year position beginning August 2026
- Hours: 7:10 AM – 2:50 PM
- Up to $75/hour
- Thursdays required for IEP meetings
- Remaining workdays selected by the clinician
- One building assignment
- Located near Fox Lake, Illinois
Why This Position Stands Out
This is a stable and well-supported district environment with strong collaboration across special education and student services teams.
The district includes:
- 3 additional SLPs
- 3 social workers
- A school psychologist
- A full-time nurse
- Leadership with a strong student services background
- Long-tenured administration and building leadership
The setting is collaborative, organized, and relationship-driven — ideal for an SLP who wants consistency, support, and the ability to focus on students rather than constant operational challenges.
Responsibilities
- Provide direct speech-language therapy services to middle school students
- Support students with expressive/receptive language, articulation, and light AAC needs
- Collaborate with teachers, related service providers, and families
- Participate in Thursday IEP meetings
- Maintain compliant documentation and progress reporting
- Contribute to a team-oriented special education department
Ideal Fit
This role is a strong fit for an SLP who:
- Wants a consistent part-time school schedule
- Prefers working in one building
- Values collaboration and support from related service staff
- Enjoys middle school populations
- Wants flexibility in scheduling while maintaining consistency for students
Qualifications
- Illinois SLP license and PEL required
- CCCs preferred, but school-based experience will be strongly considered
- AAC familiarity helpful but advanced AAC experience is not required
