Our interview process

We care deeply about our teams and the people who make them up. Our interview process is designed to make you feel like you know us and are a good fit for our clients. The first step in our interview process is a video chat with a member of our recruiting team. We encourage you to use this as an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about NSPT and Gracent. From there, we will invite candidates to an in-person interview at the center with the Center Director and SLP team lead. You will meet members of our clinical team (your future co-workers!) and this interview will also include a clinic tour. By the end of the interview process, you should have a sense of who we are and how you will be supporting our clients to blossom.

We can’t wait to meet you!
