[Hiring] Speech-Language Pathologist @Parallel

Role Description

Parallel is hiring a Colorado-licensed Speech-Language Pathologist for a 24-hour-per-week remote assignment with a long-standing K-12 school partner, covering direct speech therapy and SLPA supervision starting December 2026.

Are you a dedicated clinician driven to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children with learning differences? Join a team where providers are treated as part of the school community, not as a stopgap, and help students build the communication skills they need to thrive.
