- Work alongside an experienced paediatric Speech Pathologist with 15+ years' experience
- A knowledgeable, experienced and client-focused multidisciplinary team
- Strong MDT collaboration around shared participants
- Monthly face-to-face team meetings, usually around Narre Warren, plus virtual connection
- Regular supervision and opportunities to shadow experienced clinicians
- Achievable KPIs supporting sustainable workloads and work-life balance
- A team that enjoys connecting when it matters, while respecting your independence and life outside of work
What You'll Bring:
- Bachelor or Master of Speech Pathology
- Current Speech Pathology Australia (SPA) membership, with CPSP preferred or in progress
- A neuroaffirming, person-centred approach to practice
- Confidence working autonomously while collaborating with colleagues when needed
- Interest or experience working across the lifespan is highly regarded
