Great culture, experienced clinical support, strong administration and genuine flexibility—so you can focus on doing your best work.

Best Home Therapy is looking for a Speech Pathologist to join our growing speech pathology and multidisciplinary team across Melbourne’s south-east.

Whether you’re an experienced clinician or a new graduate ready to begin your community career, you’ll receive regular mentoring and support from experienced clinicians.

WHY JOIN BEST HOME THERAPY?

• Genuine flexibility and a healthy work-life balance
• Opportunities to grow your skills, caseload and career
• An established, clinician-led company with a steady flow of existing and new referrals

THE ROLE

Your caseload will be split between NDIS and Support at Home clients.

A willingness to work with NDIS and paediatric clients is highly valued and will provide additional opportunities to build a varied caseload, although paediatric experience is not essential.

Your work may include:

• Communication assessments and therapy
• Dysphagia assessment and management
• Cognitive-communication assessment and intervention
• Assistive technology and communication-aid recommendations
• Mealtime assessments and practical strategies
• Education and training for families, carers and support workers

You’ll have:

• A recognised qualification in Speech Pathology
• Current or eligible membership with Speech Pathology Australia
• A current driver’s licence and reliable vehicle
• A passion for delivering high-quality, person-centred care
• Strong communication, organisation and clinical reasoning skills
• The confidence to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team

Community experience is highly regarded but not essential.

READY FOR A COMMUNITY ROLE WITH REAL SUPPORT?

Join a growing, clinician-led team where you’ll have flexibility, mentoring, established referrals and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in clients’ everyday lives.
