Speech Pathologist (Paediatrics) - New Graduate or Experienced

About the role

A practice offers two Speech Pathologist positions, each with a caseload suited to either a new graduate or an experienced clinician. New graduates join a carefully screened paediatric caseload with structured support and a gradual build, while experienced clinicians work a broader generalist caseload with more complex presentations and opportunities to develop skills in myofacial therapy. The role is about quality, client-centred care rather than targets.
