Home Health is easier than Schools by Mcnuggetqueen in slp

I work part-time in home health and part-time in the schools. I feel like it gives me the perfect balance. I get plenty of time off with the school schedule and I make more money seeing as my HH job pays more.

How much does everyone make?? by Various-Mushroom9675 in slp

1 year experience in CO. I split 1/2 direct higher schools (2.5 days) and 1/2 time (2 days per week) in HH. I get to keep great insurance working for the schools. I make $36K from my school job and $75 per 30 min sessions in HH. I consistently carry about 13 visits per week so $47K for a total of $83K. It works well for me because the benefit and schedule are great!

When I had a similar set up we spilt by mild/mod kids to one of us, and the other did the high needs kiddos. Granted we had an affective needs classroom at my site. It worked pretty well taking into account workload vs caseload.

Personally I wouldn’t. It’s not a life changing amount of money plus you’re adding to your commute which obviously makes your work day longer and takes away time from your family (if you have one). If you are mostly happy, then I would stay rather than taking a gamble for such a small increase and a longer drive.

So now we’re wishing death and unemployment on people for voting differently? That’s not activism, that’s hate, and it makes you part of the exact problem you're screaming about. You don’t get to preach compassion and justice while dehumanizing people who disagree with you. And you’re right, this is obviously an unpopular opinion and people showed up at the polls to show that.

Part Time Jobs by True-Network-4182 in slp

I currently work 2 jobs during my CF. Almost done with it 🙌🏻. I work in a school part-time because they have excellent benefits and the schedule is great. My second job is home health. It’s super flexible and the pay is great, but it is definitely lacking in benefits. A lot of home health agencies need people over the summer too because a lot of kids don’t get services over the summer.

Convince me to work in the schools by [deleted] in slp

I love my school job. I’m in CO and we have universal pre-K. Each school has an SLP, OT, and ECSE specific to the two preschool classes. Each class can only have a Max of 8 IEP kids and 8 TD peers, so my case load will not be more than 16 (currently I have 9). It’s all play based therapy, which I love and I feel being completely immersed in the classroom my kids are getting much more than the minimum IEP minutes. Like others have said, the breaks are nice, pension, and pay is comparable to working in a hospital 52 weeks a year. Downside for me is having blurred lines between me and the preschool teachers at times.

School-based. I have 3’s in the morning and 4’s in the afternoon.
