Job description

Apex Speech & Language is a warm, family-run practice dedicated to serving the Liverpool community. We are protective of our team's well-being and believe that exceptional care comes from a well-supported clinician. We prioritize sustainable clinical practice over high-volume pressure: there are zero billing KPIs, realistic daily schedules, full equipment provision, and a dedicated admin team to handle paperwork heavy lifting so you can focus on client outcomes.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• Manageable Daily Schedule: Zero billable hour targets or high-pressure KPIs—we maintain a sensible, capped schedule of roughly 6 clients per day to ensure you have protected admin time and space to deliver your best work.
• Autonomous with Full Backing: Enjoy full clinical autonomy to manage your caseload while knowing you have immediate, approachable internal support, case discussions, and guidance whenever you want a sounding board or to bounce ideas around.
• Flexible Delivery Modes: Deliver care through a blend of in-clinic sessions, local school visits, and Telehealth (no home visits).
• Dedicated Admin Support: Our admin team manages client intake, scheduling, onboarding, and billing so your time remains protected.
• Fully Resourced & Open to Requests: All essential assessment kits, therapy tools, clinical resources, and digital tech are provided. If there is a specific evidence-based tool or assessment you need that we don't have, we welcome requests to purchase additional clinical resources for the team.
• Diverse Caseload Options: Opportunity to work across a flexible mix of paediatric and adult clients (or tailor your caseload toward your specific clinical interests).
• Clinical Development: Weekly supervision, case discussions, and an annual professional development allowance.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct clinical evaluations and deliver evidence-based therapy in clinic, local school settings, and via Telehealth.
• Assess and treat client goals across speech, language, literacy, stuttering, voice, and foundational Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
• Communicate complex clinical information clearly, accessibly, and empathetically to clients, families, caregivers, and educators.
• Work autonomously to manage client care plans while upholding high ethical standards and sound clinical judgment.
• Liaise with teachers, doctors, and external health professionals as needed to support individual client care plans.
• Complete timely progress notes and documentation using streamlined software.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Speech Pathology.
• Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) status with Speech Pathology Australia.
• Exceptional interpersonal and written communication skills, with a proven ability to explain clinical concepts in a practical, accessible manner to families.
• Strong commitment to ethical practice, sound clinical decision-making, and autonomous working capabilities with a collaborative mindset.
• Current Working with Children Check, National Police Check, and full Australian work rights.
• Current Driver’s Licence and reliable vehicle for school visits.
• 1–2+ years clinical experience across speech, language, literacy, voice, stuttering, or AAC (strong early-career clinicians with sound clinical judgment are welcome and supported).
• Experience working within the NDIS framework and delivering Telehealth or school-based services.
