About this role
By your second decade in this profession, you can feel when something is right in a session before you could articulate why. That pattern recognition is worth something. Here, it shapes how we practice.
Winters is a small district (Winters Joint Unified, ~1,400 students) where you're the SLP — not one of fifteen. Fewer IEP meetings per week, deeper relationships with each kid's family, and a 10-minute drive from Davis.
Senior school SLPs run Winters-area caseloads with the autonomy you've earned and a reduced IEP count (35-40 max) so you can take on mentorship, complex-case consultation, and protocol work inside the 7:45am-3:30pm day. You set your service-delivery grid. Summers are off. Your methods, your documentation templates, your IEP-writing approach.
What this role looks like
- Flexibility in schedule design — you set session lengths, intake cadence, site allocation within reason
- Full clinical autonomy — your treatment approach, your session structure, your documentation style
- Administrative burden minimized: we handle scheduling, billing, credentialing; you stay clinical
- Reduced caseload (30–35 at schools, 18–22 home-health visits/week) to protect mentorship and complex-case time
Who thrives here
This role is for the master clinician who has spent 8+ years proving what works and is done defending the approach to people with less experience. If your clinical judgment has been questioned one too many times, we built the autonomy you're looking for.
Highlights & benefits
- 80-100% employer-paid medical; 5% 401(k) match
- Optional equity / partnership pathway
- Peer-level collaboration, not hierarchy
- Full clinical autonomy — your methods, your protocols
- Winters JUSD — small district, deep family relationships

Required
- Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from an ASHA-accredited program (CAA)
- CCC-SLP (ASHA) — active

Nice to have
