Paediatric Speech Pathologist (New Grads Welcome!)

**Not your average speech role**

If you’re tired of rigid KPIs, being stuck in a clinic room all day, or feeling like just another number—this might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

We’re a small, supportive, and growing team offering meaningful, flexible work with a ready-to-go caseload and strong referral base.

You’ll support children and families across a range of communication needs, including:

Speech sound disorders
Language delays and disorders
Fluency (stuttering)

Orofacial myofunctional disorders

Your role will include:

Assessments and goal-setting that actually reflect real life
Delivering engaging, evidence-based therapy
Building strong, long-term relationships with families
Collaborating with educators and allied health professionals
Keeping admin simple—notes and essential client paperwork only

You’ll be supported with (as much or as little as you desire):

Structured supervision and mentoring
A gradual, manageable caseload
A team that’s genuinely available when you need help
