Description

Speech Pathologist (telehealth - work from home!)

Therapy Connect is Australia’s leading NDIS online therapy provider. We deliver fast and easy access to highly qualified and experienced therapists across the country for our clients.

We are seeking an experienced (2+ years) Speech Pathologist to join us and we have both part time (3+ days pw) and full time positions available.

The Role

We are seeking a Speech Pathologist with both adult and paediatric clinical skills to join our team and provide online therapy to clients across Australia. As we’re online that means we work from home, and ‘meet’ our clients online in their home or another location that suits them such as school or work.

The caseload is varied and includes clients who are neurodiverse (autism, ADHD) and/or have developmental delay, intellectual disability, neurological and motor disabilities. Our clients are of all ages, but are predominantly paediatric (0-18 years) so availability for after school appointments is essential. 

At Therapy Connect, we match our therapists to the individual needs and goals of our clients, to ensure we get better outcomes for our clients and allow therapists to tailor their caseloads to meet their skillsets. 

We are a multidisciplinary team, including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, dietitians, physiotherapists and psychologists. You will have access to supervision, professional development, internal learning sessions and collegial support all from the comfort of your own home!

Experience with AAC and/or dysphagia management is highly desirable.
