Develop your practice, with the right people and support around you.

Kern is looking for a Speech Pathologist to join our established team in Mandurah, supporting children, young people and adults across a varied caseload.

We are predominantly a NDIS provider and are continuing to grow our private services. This creates greater clinical variety, opportunities to develop your areas of interest and the chance to contribute to the next stage of our service model.

The role is available full-time or part-time, with flexibility around how your working week is structured.

• Tailored Coaching and Development. Your onboarding, mentoring and ongoing development are shaped around your experience, confidence, clinical interests and professional goals.
• An established Speech Pathology team. Access discipline-specific support, peer consultation, shared learning and experienced Speech Pathologists who understand the work.
• Leaders who work alongside their teams. Our Team Leaders remain connected and accessible, offering clinical guidance, reflective practice and support with complex situations.
• Strong administration support. Our dedicated team assists with service coordination, funding processes and systems, helping reduce avoidable administrative burden.

• Consult with other disciplines where this supports the person and their goals
• Maintain timely, high-quality clinical documentation
• Contribute to shared learning and the continued development of speech pathology at kern
• Our approach recognises that communication takes many forms. We seek to understand each person and work in a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming and respectful way.

• Value participant voice, communication access and meaningful everyday outcomes
• Want to keep developing your practice and professional identity
• Enjoy sharing knowledge and working as part of a connected team
