The Nurture Team, a neurodivergent-led neuroaffirming practice, is supportive, tight knit and passionate about helping children flourish and grow, to give them a better shot at learning and build strong relationships to lead a fuller life.

Neuroaffirming approaches are at the core of what we do. We are always learning more about the neurodiversity movement and changing the way we work to align better with neuroaffirming practices and be a strong ally for neurodivergents. The Nurture team presume competence, respect sensory differences and body autonomy of children. Nurture aims to implement practices that are respectful, culturally competent, trauma-sensitive and empathetic. We do not use/engage in compliance training in therapy as it has been reported by the autistic community that it is trauma-inducing (often leading to PTSD). We adopt strength-based approaches and reporting (avoiding ableist language use), and work on neurodiversity affirming goals (such as self-advocacy).

We predominantly work with children from our Salisbury clinic, with some community visits. We have a mixed caseload of NDIS participants and private paying clients. You'll assess and provide therapy across speech, language, communication, pragmatics, play, literacy and AAC.

We're looking for a Speech Pathologist with a few years of clinical experience, who's ready to work with real independence while still valuing good supervision and a team that has each other's backs. If you've built solid clinical foundations and are now looking to deepen your expertise, take on a varied caseload, and grow into more responsibility, this role is for you. Full-time, with flexible working arrangements (e.g.



starting late/early) genuinely on the table - reach out to discuss what could work.
