A playful Speech Pathologist (August / Sept start)

After sifting through many many jobs, you're here. We're so glad you're reading this. Get ready because we are different. We are unique. We won't promise the world then leave you feeling wiped out. If you're a New Graduate or Early Career Speechie who is looking for their next role, you've come to the right place.

- Are you looking for a nurturing and vibrant team environment?
- Does a mixed and varied caseload make you smile?
- Do you love the idea of getting in-house structured training in a range of areas?
- Does a light filled clinic space with loads of resources make you happy?

KIDS SPOT are looking for a full-time or part time (30-40 hours p/w) speech pathologist to join our vibrant and supportive team.

The role includes a little travel but only within 5km of our clinic and NOT everyday with a maximum of one day a week.

You made it!

I (Julia) have been a Speech Pathologist for over 24 years, and 2026 marks 13 years of owning and leading the team at Kids Spot.

I’ve always believed that the team I work with are incredibly important. Supporting and nurturing them is my purpose. I’ve learnt a lot along the way in business and have seen the industry change A LOT!

The landscape of Speech Pathology and Allied Health has changed significantly. Some companies/clinics are offering astronomical money, but at what cost and expectations for caseload? How much support is really provided if this is the money that needs to be made? How can a team member truly settle into a role without drowning and ultimately burning out? Time and time again, quality Speech Pathologists are burning out and leaving the profession. I'm passionate about changing this narrative.

I believe support,



having fun and nurturing growth are the keys to growing a happy and fulfilled team. If you’re going to spend up to 40 hours a week at work, you may as well enjoy the people you work with and be able to laugh a lot along the way. Of course, you want to earn a decent wage, and you’ll definitely get that with us - I know what it’s like living in Sydney!

So, if a growing team who are authentic, fun, curious and seriously playful sounds exciting to you, then read on.

Here are some of the details:

- We will consider a part time practitioner
- We have a structured New Grad program if you have recently completed your studies and are eager to learn.
- We'll provide full training for:
- Assessing literacy skills and conducting therapy
- Taking your therapy for speech sound disorders to the next level
- How to write and smash therapy goals for ALL the kids you support
- Early language therapy
- Implementing the NLA framework for Gestalt language processors
- Play-based therapy approaches that use the principles of DIR Floortime
- Therapy with Autistic children and those with neurodiverse characteristics and
- The chance to develop skills to implement Feeding therapy down the track when you're ready.

What we need from you:

- Relevant qualifications as a Speech Pathologist
- Membership with Speech Pathology Australia (or awaiting membership)
- A positive, fun and engaging personality
- Outstanding communication and organisational skills
- Willingness to learn and exceptional skills for showing initiative towards your learning
- Access to a car 1 day a week

If this all sounds interesting, I can’t wait to hear from you!

P.S. We have an office dog; Gracie so a Speechie who loves animals is essential because Gracie is in the office most days.
