Job description

This is a fantastic opportunity to join, a small, values-driven not-for-profit organisation delivering paediatric therapy services across Victoria. The organisation is a registered NDIS provider and works closely with kinders, families and educators through school readiness funding and broader early childhood supports.

You’ll be joining a stable and supportive team that is well positioned for ongoing growth, with services delivered across areas including Truganina and Notting Hill. The team is currently building its Truganina presence and is looking for Speech Pathologists who want to be part of a collaborative, flexible and purpose-led service.

This role would suit a Speech Pathologist who enjoys paediatrics, values capacity building and wants more variety than a standard clinic-only role.

About the Role

You’ll support a varied paediatric caseload across clinic, kinder and community settings.

A key part of the role includes school readiness work, where the “client” is often the kinder environment. This means you’ll support educators, build capacity within early learning settings and help children participate more confidently in their day-to-day routines.

You’ll also work with NDIS clients and families, providing therapy, assessment, reports and practical support.

This role offers a strong mix of direct therapy and broader capacity building, making it ideal for a clinician who wants variety and meaningful impact.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Supporting paediatric clients across NDIS and school readiness funding
• Delivering Speech Pathology services across clinic, kinder and community settings
• Working closely with educators to build their skills and confidence
• Providing capacity-building support within early childhood settings
• Completing assessments, therapy plans, reports and documentation
• Supporting children with communication, language, speech and developmental needs
• Collaborating with families, educators and the wider therapy team
• Managing your caseload with autonomy and support

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Salary guide from $80,000 to $115,000 + super, depending on experience
• Salary packaging available through a not-for-profit organisation
• Flexible working arrangements
• Work from home options for report writing, where suitable
• Minimum commitment of 0.6 FTE
• KM reimbursement
• Commute time considered within billable expectations
• Around 5 billable hours per day
• Autonomy over your caseload
• Strong in-house supervision
• Support from site leads, senior clinicians and clinical supervisors
• External supervision available where needed
• Great PD support and PD leave
• Team-oriented and values-led culture
• Open to new ideas and service development
• Stable organisation with strong relationships across early childhood services

Support and Development:

The organisation offers a strong supervision structure, including in-house clinical supervision, support through site leads, senior staff and external supervision where required.

There is also strong professional development support, including PD leave and access to learning opportunities that align with your role and career goals. New graduates can be supported, while mid to senior clinicians will have opportunities to contribute to service development and support a small, collaborative team.

About the Team:

You’ll be joining a small, values-driven team that is collaborative, practical and open to new ideas.

The organisation is focused on quality outcomes, supporting families and educators, and building long-term capacity in the communities they serve. This is a great environment for clinicians who want to feel connected to their work and be part of something meaningful.
