This caseload will primarily focus on the meeting the needs of an existing caseload of children with a variety of disabilities. Our clinic caseload consists of a mix of children from babies to school age (and beyond), and a mix of feeding, speech, language, literacy, AAC and disability fields. The position will primarily work out of our clinic in Mackay, but may also include off-site community based services.
In this position, you will work as part of our multidisciplinary team, working alongside highly experienced occupational therapists and physiotherapists, as well as our amazingly supportive therapy assistant and administrative team. You will be provided with exceptional support to ensure you have or can acquire the skills you need to perform at your best as a therapist. This support will include internal mentoring from our experienced clinical leadership team, as well as external mentoring from highly experienced and highly regarded paediatric speech pathologists. This external mentoring will also include direct face to face clinical support through an outreach mentoring model, schedule to be provided up to 4 times per year.
Passionate speech pathologists who are committed to life-long learning, thrive on collaboration and working with others, and are dedicated to the provision of exemplary clinical care would be well suited to this position. Speech pathologists with either experience in disability, or an interest and passion for supporting children with disabilities are particularly welcome at our clinic. While experienced clinicians are preferred, early career clinicians with exemplary clinical credentials are welcome to apply as we have scope within our clinic and within our mentorship program for a staggered introduction to the caseload of clients as well as exceptional support through our mentorship program.
