Speech Pathologist
Job Description
A well-established multidisciplinary clinic in Melbourne’s northern suburbs is looking for a Speech Pathologist to join their team. They’re not the biggest practice in Melbourne, and they’re not trying to be. What they are stable, well-run, and genuinely good at looking after their clinicians – which is why people tend to stay.
Why this one is worth a look:
You’ll walk into a clinic that already has the things most SPs quietly wish for – a full referral pipeline, admin and billing support that actually works, sensible caseload numbers, and a team of OTs, psychologists and fellow SPs who eat lunch together most days. Supervision is structured, PD is properly funded (not a token $500), and if you want to develop a niche – paediatric feeding, adult voice, AAC, literacy – they’ll back you to do it.
Caseload is flexible: paediatric, adult, or a mix. Clinic-based, so no driving across the northern suburbs between school visits.
What is on offer:
- Above-award pay, negotiable – genuinely negotiable, not “negotiable” as code for “the number on the ad”
- 0.6 to 1.0 FTE, school hours and compressed weeks all on the table
- New grads with strong placements: yes, please apply – there’s real mentoring here
- Experienced SPs looking for somewhere sustainable to land: also yes
- SPA eligible or certified, WWCC (VIC) and NDIS Worker Screening, VIC licence preferred
About you
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Speech Pathology
- Speech Pathology Australia (CPSP) eligible or certified
- Genuine interest in working with children and their families
- New graduates with strong paediatric placement experience are warmly encouraged to apply
- Confident with family coaching and parent-mediated approaches
- Strong clinical documentation and interpersonal skills
- Current WA driver’s licence and reliable vehicle
- WWCC and NDIS Worker Screening (or willingness to obtain)
