Job description

Cornerstone Medical Recruitment - Townsville QLD

$110,000 - $110,000 a year

Permanent

3mo ago , from Cornerstone Medical Recruitment

Looking for a Speech Pathology role where you can make a genuine difference, work within a specialised service, and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with living in beautiful North Queensland?

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to work with a specialised caseload, with a strong focus on Deaf and hard-of-hearing children and young people, including Auslan and deaf-specific services.

The caseload is predominantly paediatric, with some early adolescent clients, and you'll work with a well-established referral base and existing caseload.

You can expect:

• A strong volume of referrals for therapy programs
• Collaboration with the Department of Health and Department of Education
• Primarily short-term interventions and targeted therapy programs
• Minimal NDIS involvement and limited long-term case management
• Opportunities to provide outreach services across regional North Queensland
• Collaboration with experienced Allied Health Assistants and a multidisciplinary team

This role would suit a clinician who enjoys variety, collaboration and specialised practice, and who is confident stepping into an existing caseload.

About You

We're looking for an experienced Speech Pathologist who has:

• Relevant Speech Pathology qualifications and professional registration
• Previous clinical experience - this role is not suited to a new graduate
• The confidence to independently manage an established caseload
• An interest in working with Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A collaborative approach to multidisciplinary practice
• A willingness to travel for occasional outreach to Cairns and Mackay

Experience with Auslan or deaf-specific services would be highly regarded, but is not essential for the right clinician.

What's on Offer?

• Up to $110,000 + Super, dependent on experience
• Potential relocation assistance to help you make the move to Townsville
• A team that invest in your success, with professional development support & training

Why Townsville?

Townsville offers the perfect balance of career opportunity and lifestyle. With tropical weather, beautiful beaches, easy access to Magnetic Island and a relaxed North Queensland lifestyle, you can enjoy everything from weekend island escapes and outdoor adventures to a vibrant local community - without the pace and cost of a major capital city.

If you're an experienced Speech Pathologist looking for a role where you can build on your clinical skills while making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families, we'd love to hear from you.
