PEDIATRIC SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST (in the process of moving to a new Building)

Join a Practice Where You Are Known, Valued & Supported

Bright Start Therapy | Lewiston, Maine

Are you a Speech-Language Pathologist looking for more than just a job?

At Bright Start Therapy, you won't be a number in a large healthcare system. You'll become part of a locally owned, pediatric-focused practice where clinicians know one another, collaborate across disciplines, and have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with the children and families they serve.

We are growing our team and are looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist who wants to build a rewarding career working with children while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Why Bright Start Therapy?

Competitive Compensation
We recognize the value of experienced clinicians and offer competitive compensation based on education, experience, and clinical expertise.

Pediatric-Focused Caseload
Work with children and families across a variety of communication needs, including articulation and phonological disorders, receptive and expressive language, social communication, AAC, fluency, and other areas of speech and language development.

True Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Work alongside experienced SLPs and OTs. We believe collaboration between disciplines leads to stronger outcomes for children and creates a richer clinical environment for our therapists.

Clinic & School-Based Opportunities
Depending on your interests and experience, opportunities may include both clinic-based and school-based services, allowing you to develop a varied and rewarding caseload.

CFs & New Graduates Welcome
Beginning your career? We welcome Clinical Fellows and newer clinicians and provide a supportive environment where you can develop your clinical skills and confidence.

Flexible Scheduling
We understand that clinicians have lives outside of work. We work with our therapists to develop schedules that are practical and sustainable.

Reasonable, Sustainable Caseloads
Quality matters more than simply filling your schedule. We believe children receive better care when therapists have the time and support needed to provide thoughtful, individualized treatment.

Professional Growth
We encourage continuing education and support clinicians in developing areas of specialty that interest them.
