00 This contract Speech Language Pathologist position is based in a welcoming, student-centered public school district in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Located in the scenic Cumberland Valley region of south-central Pennsylvania, Chambersburg blends small-town charm with easy access to larger metropolitan areas. The community is known for its historic downtown, Civil War heritage, locally owned shops and restaurants, and a strong sense of pride in its schools and neighborhoods. Chambersburg offers a family-friendly environment with plenty to do outside of work. Residents enjoy nearby state parks and outdoor destinations with opportunities for hiking, fishing, biking, golf, and year-round nature exploration. The area features farms and orchards, wineries and breweries, and community events that bring residents together throughout the year. Cost of living is generally lower than major urban centers, making it an appealing option for professionals looking to grow their careers while enjoying a comfortable lifestyle. Within the school district, you will join a collaborative team of educators and student support professionals focused on helping every learner succeed. The district serves a diverse student population across multiple school buildings, offering a range of programs and services for students with speech and language needs. You can expect a supportive environment where SLPs are valued contributors to multidisciplinary teams and have opportunities to share their expertise and ideas. As a contract SLP, you will provide direct and indirect speech and language services to students in accordance with their Individualized Education Programs. Typical responsibilities include conducting comprehensive evaluations, writing clear and legally compliant reports, developing and updating IEP goals, delivering therapy in individual and small group settings, and participating in IEP and team meetings. You will collaborate closely with teachers, school psychologists, special educators, and related service providers to support communication skills within the classroom and across school environments. Your caseload may include students with articulation and phonological disorders, language delays and disorders, fluency and voice disorders, pragmatic language challenges, and communication needs associated with autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and other health impairments. There may be opportunities to work with students using AAC systems, support social communication groups, and contribute to language and literacy initiatives, depending on building assignments and district priorities. A typical day may involve a combination of pull-out and push-in services, scheduled assessment blocks, time for documentation and progress monitoring, and collaboration with staff and families. The district strives to maintain manageable caseloads and reasonable student-to-therapist ratios, though specific numbers can vary by building, grade levels served, and time of year. You can anticipate working standard school-day hours aligned with the district calendar, Monday through Friday, with no evening, weekend, or holiday clinical hours required. Therapy and meeting spaces in the district are designed to support focused intervention and collaboration. You can expect access to a variety of age-appropriate materials, technology resources, and district-supported professional tools. New and returning SLPs benefit from a team-oriented culture where questions are welcomed and peer support is encouraged. This contract role is a strong fit for clinicians seeking meaningful, school-based work with the flexibility of a contract position. It offers the chance to make a measurable difference in students' communication skills while enjoying life in a historic, active, and friendly Pennsylvania community surrounded by natural beauty and local attractions.
