Speech and Language Therapist (SLP) - Level Up Wellness Group

Speech and Language Pathologist (Pediatric)

Hey future team members!

“We Care About PEOPLE.”

Hello there! Ever wanted to be the boss of your own gig but get cold feet thinking about all the businessy stuff? Don’t sweat it! This job is a contractor role, but here’s the kicker: we handle the business side so you can focus on what you do best- working with the clients. We’re Level Up Wellness Group, based in Beaumont, Alberta, and we’re all about emotional well-being for people of all ages.

We are looking for someone who’s got their professional hat on but is also super driven and can kick things off on their own. We’re growing like crazy, and we need individuals who are down to grow with us. We are looking to relocate to our new space in 2025! Our space will provide an exclusive environment that supports client and provider well-being.

We will provide you internal referrals but you have to be willing to spread the word about SLP services, cuz the more peeps know, the more we can help. We have a great team who can support you with this area of the business. So if you’re the ambitious type and keen on making the SLP part of Level Up really take off, you’re our kinda person!

Our team’s already got a fab mix—occupational therapists, psychologists, art therapists, nurse practitioner, clinical pharmacist and we are working towards bringing on more health professionals. We’re on a mission to be a one-stop shop for emotional health. You must be driven and have a desire to develop the SLP branch within Level Up but we will support you with this work.

Each Level Up team member has their own area of specialization, ranging from eating disorders, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), addictions, trauma, OCD, grief, autism, sleep issues, behavioral and emotional struggles, as well as working with hard of hearing and deaf individuals. If you are interested in being part of a growing private practice, we would love to have you join our team. We are interested in developing a cutting-edge clinic and breaking the mold.
