About The Role
Exciting Opportunity for a Speech Pathologist at South West Kids Clinic!
South West Kids Clinic is thrilled to announce an open position for a full-time Speech Pathologist (part-time considered for the right candidate) within our dedicated team, working a range of children with primarily physical disabilities that have dysphagia and communication needs.

In this role, you’ll support children with speech and language disorders that stem from conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, brain injury, chromosomal abnormalities and other complex disabilities, helping them reach their communication goals through AAC and feeding/swallowing difficulties. You will implement evidence-based interventions and work closely with families to develop tailored therapy plans.

- Weekly/fortnightly clinical supervision
- Wellbeing coaching sessions
- Group case discussions

Our team thrives on connection and celebration, with regular ‘connection days,’ retreats, and group dinners. We routinely celebrate the successes of our families, team members, and ourselves.
What’s in it for you?
- Be part of our supportive and dynamic team culture
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to achieve the best outcomes for families
- Flexible work week tailored to your preferences
- Comprehensive supervision package with 1:1, group, and peer mentoring, plus unlimited informal supervision
