A practice built the way it should be
We built Arbutus Speech Therapy to be the kind of place we would want to work. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Choose the clients you want to work with and design a schedule that actually fits your life. Your caseload, shaped by you.
Work in homes, schools, and communities across Vancouver. No clinic walls, no commute to a shared office. You work where your clients thrive.
Reach out and hear back the same day. Our team is small, direct, and genuinely invested in your success as a clinician. No waiting, no layers.
Arbutus works exclusively with registered SLPs. No assistants, no supervision overhead. Every session is yours to own, the way you were trained to deliver it.
Varied, meaningful, and community-based
Our SLPs work with children, youth, and adults across a wide range of communication needs. New and experienced clinicians are encouraged to shape their caseload around their interests.
Find the arrangement that works for you
We offer flexible engagement models so you can build a role that fits your life. All positions require a minimum caseload commitment, discussed during the interview process.
Build a private practice role alongside your existing work, or transition gradually from public health. A strong entry point for SLPs at any career stage.
Make Arbutus your home practice. Build a full, varied caseload across the Lower Mainland with our complete administrative and clinical support behind you.
Starting small is fine. Many of our SLPs begin with a handful of sessions and grow from there. Get in touch at [email protected] to tell us where you are.
What you bring
We welcome applications from SLPs at all career stages: new graduates, experienced clinicians, and public-health SLPs considering a move to private practice.
Do not meet every nice-to-have? That is fine. We can build those skills together.
