Passionate about making a difference as a Senior Speech Pathologist? This is a great opportunity for you to bring your experience and help people live their best lives.

The Benevolent Society has an exciting and varied role working collaboratively with a team of vibrant allied health professionals.

About us

As Australia’s first charity, we’ve been supporting people with a disability, children, families, older peoples and carers since 1813. Not-for-profit and non-religious, we have a vision of a just society where everyone can live their best life and a 200+ year track record of fighting for social justice. We deliver on our vision through a progressive, talented multi-disciplinary team of over 1,300 staff; supporting over 40,000 people each year in five States and Territories. Our team live and breathe our values every day – integrity, respect, collaboration, effectiveness and optimism.

Your new role!

As a Senior Speech Pathologist, you will join a multi-disciplinary team providing therapy to children and adults at our hubs or in the community. While we like our Clinicians to have specialty skills, we respond to client demand so ask for a level of flexibility from teams to work with a variety of clients as required.

You will provide clinical supervision to less experienced Speech Pathologists to ensure clients are receiving high quality clinical services as they deepen their practice approach.

Why work with us?

We support people to live their best life. That includes you! You might be interested in:

• Access to great professional development including monthly Communities of Practice, and a range of other learning opportunities tailored to you
• Supporting a diverse range of clients from children to adults, through our range of disability programs funded by the NDIS, state education departments and other government programs
• Working in a truly multi-disciplinary team of OTs, Speech Pathologists, Behaviour Support Practitioners, Psychologists and Support Coordinators to deliver outcomes for clients
• Strong career advancement including annual selection process for Senior practitioner roles, management pathways, and transfer and secondment opportunities across TBS programs and locations
• Flexible working conditions with part-time and remote working arrangements supported and mobile working tools supplied
• A focus on work / life balance with access to monthly Accrued Days Off, up to two weeks additional purchased annual leave each year, and access to long service leave after five years
• Competitive remuneration with access to salary packaging of up to $15,900 per year, employee discount program including gyms/fitness centres, and novated car leases.
• Realistic performance targets with lots of support as you build your caseload and experience.
• Access to clinical supervision and opportunity to work creatively and autonomously to provide speech pathology services.

It's worth knowing who we are looking for!

We’re keen to hear from people who see the ability not the disability. People with resilience who can flex their approach as they expertly navigate the ins and outs of the NDIS and provide quality services to clients.

We want to speak to speech pathologists who are:

• Passionate about supporting people with a disability to achieve their goals
• Honest and who carry out their role with integrity and demonstrate genuine respect for all people regardless of their disability, culture, age, gender, sexual orientation
• Experienced in applying evidence-based practice frameworks to assess, plan, deliver and evaluate clinical supports
• Adaptable with a ‘can do attitude’ to effortlessly adjust to client needs and their NDIS plans
• Able to provide clinical supervision to less experienced Speech Pathologists and work in a flexible, person-centred and strengths based way across a diverse range of settings to meet client needs
• Willing to contribute to and develop their professional skills through our internal practice communities
• Effective time managers to ensure they can meet client goals and performance expectations
• Effective communicators who can produce quality written work
• Collaborative team players, willing to contribute to our friendly and supportive culture
• Currently registered with Speech Pathology Australia
• Current driver’s licence holders (cars provided)
