INTERNAL LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY: Sanctuary Leader

Help clinicians feel supported, known, and inspired in their work.

• Opportunity: Internal Chatterboxes SLP
• Reports to: Clinical Director
• Clinical Commitment: 25 Billable Hours/Per Week + 5 Days Per Week (M-F)
• Step into a salaried leadership role while continuing to remain connected to clinical practice.

The Opportunity

The Sanctuary Leader is a culture stabilizer, clinical mentor, and steady, visible presence for a group of our clinicians. This leader helps create connection and psychological safety, strengthens clinical practice, and brings warmth, clarity, accountability, and follow-through to the everyday clinician experience.

This is a player-coach role. The Sanctuary Leader remains actively engaged in clinical work while serving as a trusted bridge among clinicians, the Clinical Director, the Founder, and the broader leadership team.

What You Will Do

• Clinical mentorship and excellence
• Maintain an active caseload of approximately 25 billable clinical hours per week so your leadership remains clinically grounded and relatable.
• Provide ongoing mentorship and consultation across the career span, including support for Clinical Fellows, CF mentors, SLPA supervisors, new clinicians, and seasoned SLPs.
• Help clinicians think through complex or stuck cases in a safe, judgment-free space while reinforcing sound clinical judgment and professional accountability.
• Guide clinicians with documentation and compliance, including progress notes, evaluation reports, IEP/IFSP goals, eligibility decisions, assessment selection, and productivity expectations.
• Share evidence-based resources, therapy materials, research, approaches, and continuing education opportunities while ensuring diverse voices and perspectives are represented.
• Connect clinicians with colleagues who hold relevant specialty expertise across Chatterboxes.
• Support ethical practice, scope of competence, and sustainable workload; elevate clinical or wellness concerns to the appropriate leader when needed.

Culture and Team leadership

• Create a consistent, warm team presence through approachable Slack support, casual touchpoints, recognition, invitations to connect, and prepared co-facilitation of team meetings.
• Model Chatterboxes values through everyday professionalism, respect, care, reliability, and communication.
• Serve as a calm communication bridge: bring patterns and concerns to leadership with context, then translate responses back to clinicians clearly and without speculation or escalation.
• Help change feel contained and understandable by explaining what is happening, why it matters, what it means for clinicians, and where support lives.
• Represent the full organization consistently, including when you may personally have approached a decision differently.
• Maintain healthy leadership boundaries by connecting clinicians to the right support rather than becoming the resource for everything.
• Clinician growth and accountability
• Hold a monthly 1:1 with each clinician in your Sanctuary and provide responsive support between meetings.
• Compile and analyze monthly review forms to document progress, contributions, strengths, and clinical efforts that may support merit-based increases.
• Evaluate clinical performance on an ongoing basis and document concerns clearly and promptly when they arise.
• Partner with the Clinical Director on annual reviews and biannual merit-based compensation reviews by contributing grounded observations and team insights.
• Redirect compensation and financial questions to the formal review process, Head of Operations, or Chatterboxes' Financial Empowerment benefit, as appropriate.
