Job Description

Speech-Language Pathologist: Full-Time Elementary School

Virginia | December 2026–June 2027

You care deeply about your students. Your team should care deeply about you. 🩷

Chatterboxes was founded by an SLP who believes that connection, clinical growth, and wellbeing belong at the heart of our work. We’re building a professional home where you can ask questions, share ideas, feel heard, and grow without losing yourself in the demands of caring for others.

Through our Sanctuary Model, we make room for regular conversations with your clinical leader, thoughtful collaboration with fellow SLPs, and relationships that extend beyond your caseload. We want you to feel connected to a team that knows you and values what you bring.

At Chatterboxes, we believe meaningful clinical work and a sustainable career belong together.
