If you’re an SLP or SLPA craving more flexibility, support, and community — or if you’re being asked to return to in-person work and want something different — it might be time to explore what it’s like to work with Next Level Speech Therapy.
At Next Level, you’re our employee, not the district’s. That means you’re hired and supported directly by us — and we match you with one of our partner school districts based on our open contracts and your preferences. (A few of the states we currently serve include Washington, Minnesota, and Alaska.) You won’t need to apply separately to each district — you just apply once with us, and we’ll handle the rest.
If a move is part of your next chapter, we even offer moving stipends for many of our placements.
Support That’s Actually Supportive
We’re proud to be SLP-owned and operated, and we get what it’s like to walk into a new school setting, juggling paperwork, evaluations, and expectations. That’s why every therapist is paired with a dedicated clinical manager — a licensed clinician who’s there for you five days a week to answer questions, help you navigate challenges, and celebrate your wins.
You’ll also join a community of SLPs and SLPAs within the company — a built-in professional network ready to offer guidance, share resources, and cheer you on.
If you’re completing your Clinical Fellowship (CF), we provide both on-site and remote supervision so you can grow with confidence.
Making the Move from Medical to Schools
If you’re transitioning from a medical or clinical setting into the schools, our team is here to make that transition smooth. We’ll walk you through IEP processes, school procedures, and the ins and outs of your new role so you can feel confident and supported from day one.
Freedom to Focus on What Matters
Because you’re a Next Level employee, not a district employee, you won’t participate in the district’s evaluation system. Instead, you’ll receive feedback and support directly from your clinical manager — professionals who understand your work because they’ve done it too.
You also won’t be required to attend district-wide meetings that don’t apply to your role. That means more time to focus on your students and your caseload, not on unrelated administrative tasks.
Plus, we advocate for manageable workloads. Our contracts include soft caseload caps, and if things start to creep beyond what’s sustainable, your clinical manager steps in to help support and advocate for you.
Competitive Pay + Real Benefits
Full-time Next Level employees enjoy a comprehensive benefits package, including:
-
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
-
401(k)
-
Paid licensure renewals and ASHA dues
-
Access to the ASHA Learning Pass
-
Moving stipends (where applicable)
And because we operate independently from the districts, we’re often able to offer more competitive pay than direct-hire school positions — especially for newer SLPs ready to build a fulfilling career with flexibility.
