We are currently looking for a full-time and/or part-time Speech Pathologists to work with our existing team of experienced speech therapists.  

We are a Speechie led, family run clinic. We are looking for someone who can help our team flourish and grow whilst maintaining excellent flexibility of hours! Need to start later or finish early - that is fine by us!

We are extremely passionate about creating a sustainable working environment with low billable targets and a strong focus on ensuring staff have the resources and administration support they need to assess and treat our clients. Our team also have internal fortnightly supervision, case and team meetings as well as offer external professional development. We value quality over quantity and autonomy. 

Our office is located in Dapto with 3 clinic rooms and off street parking. We are in the process of expanding but right now our clinic rooms are varied in size including a large sensory play room and is full of resources. 

Our clinic director is an experienced Speech Pathologist whose area of expertise is AAC and complex paediatric clients. 

We are offering a annual professional development budget as well as a competitive salary and superannuation. We also have a rewards system in place for our team for clinical KPIs being met!
