Job description

Speech Pathologist, Established Caseload | Cleveland QLD

The Patient Approach Cancer & Wellness Centre is seeking a passionate and qualified Speech Pathologist to join our growing multidisciplinary team in Cleveland, Brisbane's beautiful Redlands Coast.

Walk into an established caseload of 15+ active patients, predominantly paediatric, with opportunities for ongoing growth.

We are a patient-owned, multidisciplinary health and wellness centre offering a collaborative and supportive environment for clinicians to provide high-quality, patient-centred care.

While our centre specialises in cancer care and rehabilitation, we welcome patients of all ages and health needs. This opportunity is focused primarily on general paediatric & adult speech pathology, with no oncology experience required.

What We Offer

• Established caseload of 15+ active patients, with a supported transition of care
• Flexible consulting days and hours (Most patient's currently attend on Tuesday & Wednesday)
• Fully furnished and equipped consulting rooms
• Reception, appointment bookings and administrative support
• Existing NDIS and private-paying patients
• Internal referrals from our multidisciplinary team, with the opportunity to work alongside our existing Speech Pathologists, who specialise in voice and oncology speech pathology.
• Opportunities to expand your caseload and develop your own clinical interests
• Competitive room hire arrangements
• A welcoming, collaborative and patient-focused workplace

The Opportunity

This is an independent contractor opportunity, ideal for an established Speech Pathologist looking to expand their private practice or a clinician wanting to establish themselves within a supportive multidisciplinary environment.

With an existing patient base, established administrative systems and a growing community presence, this is an opportunity to focus on delivering quality care without the overheads of establishing your own clinic.

About The Patient Approach

Founded by two cancer survivors, The Patient Approach Cancer & Wellness Centre was created to bring compassionate, coordinated and accessible healthcare together under one roof.

Our philosophy is simple: One team. One location. Complete support.

We would love to welcome a Speech Pathologist who shares our commitment to putting patients first.

Position Requirements

• Recognised tertiary qualification in Speech Pathology.
• Eligibility for Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) status with Speech Pathology Australia.
• Experience or a strong interest in general paediatric speech pathology, including speech, language and communication difficulties.
• Ability to independently assess, diagnose and manage a varied caseload.
• Excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.
• Commitment to evidence-based, patient-centred care.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary allied health team.
• Current professional indemnity and public liability insurance appropriate for independent practice.
• Current Working with Children Check (Blue Card) or eligibility to obtain one.
• NDIS Worker Screening Clearance where required.
• Current ABN or willingness to obtain one for independent contractor arrangements.

Desirable but not essential:
