Looking for a fresh challenge as a Speech Therapist?

If you’re feeling limited by repetitive caseloads, rigid schedules, or you’re longing for greater autonomy in your role – a mobile Speech Therapist position with Avina could just be the thing to spice up your weekly routine!

Our Speech Therapists are supported by dedicated operational Team Leaders, Clinical Supervisors, regular supervision, peer learning opportunities, Communities of Practice, and a collaborative multidisciplinary team environment.

With a diverse caseload spanning a wide range of ages, diagnoses, and support needs, you’ll continue developing your clinical skills and gain exposure to experiences that accelerate professional growth.
