About This Role

Your opportunity

The speech pathologist works within the Primary and Community Care team in Roma Hospital. Other hospitals and community clinics are located in small towns within the SWHHS, therefore an outreach service is provided to deliver in-person services to these communities.

You will work within the multidisciplinary team to provide optimal, responsive, and flexible speech pathology clinical services in acute, sub-acute, aged care, community, and outreach facility settings, operating with independence and infrequent need for clinical practice supervision, decreasing as skills increase.

Overnight travel may be a requirement of this role.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000 and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Roma's newly built hospital hosts an extensive list of services with state of the art facilities. A great place for families in a region traditionally rich with oil and gas and farming industries, Roma boasts an abundance of sports, recreation and schooling options. With annual events such as Easter in the Country and the Roma Races, Roma is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes Roma a career move you will wish you had made earlier.
