We’re a growing business, on the lookout for a highly skilled and motivated Speech Pathologist in Ballarat to join our team in an autonomous, but well supported role. In this role, you'll provide quality speech pathology services to a mixed caseload of Allied Therapy Services clients in the Greater Ballarat community.
While you don’t need to have worked in a community-based speech pathology role before, ideally, you have had 2-years on the job experience working live with a neurological condition or physical or cognitive disability or are experiencing age-related changes.
If you are thinking of making the jump from public health, we provide additional onboarding support to therapists who are transitioning from public health into the private sector (see, we have your back!).
