Job description

This is a great opportunity to joina growing paediatric Speech Pathology clinic based in Gladstone Park, near Melbourne Airport.

The clinic is led by experienced senior Speech Pathologists, including a Director with over 15 years of clinical experience. The team currently includes Speech Pathologists and Allied Health Assistants, with plans to welcome another two Speech Pathologists as the clinic continues to grow.

This role would suit a Speech Pathologist who enjoys working with children, wants a flexible and supportive workplace, and values being part of a team that genuinely looks after each other.

About the Role:

You’ll work with a varied paediatric caseload, supporting children across areas such as speech, language, articulation, learning needs and developmental presentations.

The role is primarily clinic-based, with some local school, kinder and preschool visits where required. Most services are delivered in the clinic, with only a small number of appointments completed externally each week.

The clinic is flexible with working arrangements and open to full-time, part-time or contractor options. Hours can be structured around your lifestyle, traffic and clinical preferences where possible.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting a paediatric caseload across speech, language and articulation
• Working with children across a mixed range of communication and developmental needs
• Delivering therapy in a clinic-based setting
• Completing local school, kinder and preschool visits where needed
• Working closely with families, carers and educators
• Collaborating with Speech Pathologists and Allied Health Assistants
• Participating in team meetings and group learning
• Building your caseload around your experience and interests

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Salary up to $115,000 + super for most clinicians
• Higher salary packages considered for senior experience
• Flexible full-time, part-time or contractor options
• Choose hours that support work-life balance
• Clinic-based role with limited local travel
• Off-peak travel options can be discussed
• Supportive senior Speech Pathologists with 15+ years' experience
• Strong support for early career clinicians
• External supervision and educational programs available
• PD allowance and ad hoc external PD support
• Performance incentives available
• Team meetings every Tuesday morning
• Regular group learning and team interaction
• Warm, upbeat and family-style culture
• Fun, casual and supportive working environment
• Opportunity to build your caseload around clinical interests

Support and Development

This clinic has a strong track record of supporting students, graduates and early career clinicians.

The Director is known for being positive, approachable and highly supportive, with a genuine focus on helping clinicians grow without burning out.

There are experienced Speech Pathologists in the team, external supervisors available, regular team meetings and opportunities to be involved in education and development programs.

The clinic is focused on promoting work-life balance and avoiding burnout, while still providing quality services to children and families.

About the Team:

You’ll be joining a team of Speech Pathologists and Allied Health Assistants in a clinic that values connection, flexibility and a positive workplace feel.

The culture is warm, family-oriented, fun and casual, while still maintaining strong clinical standards.

The team works closely together, supports each other and creates a welcoming environment for both clinicians and families.
