• Work with a supportive leadership team - collaborate with experienced multidisciplinary leaders who value communication, innovation and teamwork.


• Keep one foot in clinical practice - maintain a small, meaningful caseload while developing your leadership responsibilities.

• Working collaboratively with Occupational Therapy and other multidisciplinary team leaders.


• Contributing to quality improvement, clinical audits, service innovation and continuous improvement initiatives.


• Supporting a positive, supportive and high-performing team culture.


• Maintaining a small clinical caseload to remain connected to clinical practice.

About You

You're an experienced Speech Pathologist who is passionate about people, clinical excellence and developing others.

You'll bring:

• SPA eligibility and 3+ years' clinical experience.


• Strong clinical experience across paediatrics and/or adults.


• Experience in areas such as communication, swallowing, AAC and/or social skill development.


• Previous experience in supervision, mentoring, coaching or clinical leadership.


• Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills.


• A genuine passion for supporting clinicians to grow and succeed.


• A person-centred approach and commitment to high-quality clinical outcomes.
