Job description

Speech Pathologist (telehealth - work from home!)

Therapy Connect is Australia’s leading NDIS online therapy provider. We deliver fast and easy access to highly qualified and experienced therapists across the country for our clients.

We are seeking an experienced (2+ years) Speech Pathologist to join us and we have both part time (3+ days pw) and full time positions available.

The Role

We are seeking a Speech Pathologist with both adult and paediatric clinical skills to join our team and provide online therapy to clients across Australia. As we’re online that means we work from home, and ‘meet’ our clients online in their home or another location that suits them such as school or work.

The caseload is varied and includes clients who are neurodiverse (autism, ADHD) and/or have developmental delay, intellectual disability, neurological and motor disabilities. Our clients are of all ages, but are predominantly paediatric (0-18 years) so availability for after school appointments is essential.

At Therapy Connect, we match our therapists to the individual needs and goals of our clients, to ensure we get better outcomes for our clients and allow therapists to tailor their caseloads to meet their skillsets.

We are a multidisciplinary team, including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, dietitians, physiotherapists and psychologists. You will have access to supervision, professional development, internal learning sessions and collegial support all from the comfort of your own home!

Experience with AAC and/or dysphagia management is highly desirable.

• Speech Pathology Australia registration
• A team player who is willing to connect and collaborate online with a multidisciplinary team all over Australia
• Experience in clinical skills across a range of areas, and working within the NDIS
• Experience delivering training or therapy programs to clients / participants, their families and carers
• Willingness to adapt your therapeutic approach into an online delivery format
• Creativity and problem solving skills
• Confident with using technology
• Quiet and professional office space and access to reliable internet connection
• Eligible for or have a NDIS Worker Screening check and Working with Children Check (or equivalent) for the state or territory in which you usually reside

What Therapy Connect Offers You

Work that fits your lifestyle: We offer true flexibility and support our team to integrate life and work through various working options; part time, full time and flexible hours.

Professional development opportunities, including up to 3 days of paid PD leave & money to spend: We provide training and digital resources to ensure high quality and evidence based practice can be delivered. We provide a variety of opportunities for professional development including guest speakers, internal learning including through our Communities of Practice, plus up to 3 paid days off (FTE) and money to spend.

Clinical supervision and career development: We set you up with an individualised career development plan, have regular clinical supervision, and team meetings. You will learn & work closely with your colleagues in a multidisciplinary approach as we explore topics such as coaching in therapy and neurodiversity affirming practice.

Work from home but feel connected: While our practitioners work remotely (and enjoy avoiding the commute!), our team is strongly connected. We work in teams with a dedicated leader and we regularly get together online to share, learn, laugh and support each other. You’ll also get assistance with your hardware & work from home setup.
