Job Description
Help shape a specialist speech pathology service within an innovative multidisciplinary brain health clinic.
n
The Healthy Brain & Memory Centre is seeking a passionate and forward-thinking Speech Pathologist to join our growing multidisciplinary team in Southport.
n
We are a private clinic specialising in neurodegenerative conditions, cognitive health, and healthy ageing. Our team includes two geriatricians, a clinical neuropsychologist, psychologist, GP, physiotherapist, dietitian, and experienced nurses, working collaboratively to provide comprehensive care to patients and their families.
n
We were also the second clinic in Australia to establish an anti-amyloid therapy service for early Alzheimer's disease, placing us at the forefront of an exciting and rapidly evolving area of dementia care.
n
The Opportunity
n
This is a unique opportunity to develop a specialised caseload supporting people with neurodegenerative conditions, including:
n
n
Alzheimer's disease and other neurocognitive disorders
n
Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA)
n
Parkinson's disease and atypical Parkinsonian syndromes
n
Cognitive-communication disorders
n
Motor speech and swallowing difficulties
n
Some of our patients present with logopenic variant PPA associated with Alzheimer's disease, creating an important prospect for skilled speech pathology assessment, intervention, and ongoing support.
n
n




You'll work not only with patients, but also their families, carers, aged care teams, and support networks to help maintain communication, independence, and quality of life.
n
Importantly, this isn't simply about stepping into an existing service. We're looking for someone who would be excited to help shape and develop our speech pathology and cognitive-communication program, working closely with our broader clinical team.
n
You'll also have the opportunity to participate in our weekly multidisciplinary neuroimaging and case discussions, providing valuable insight into diagnosis and disease progression.
n
About You
n
We'd love to hear from you if you:
n
n
Are a qualified Speech Pathologist with appropriate Speech Pathology Australia membership/eligibility
n
Have experience or a strong interest in neurological and neurodegenerative conditions
n
Have an interest in cognitive-communication disorders, PPA and/or motor speech disorders
n
Enjoy working collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team
n
Are passionate about evidence-based, person-centred care
n
Would enjoy the autonomy to contribute ideas and help develop a specialist service
n
n
Specialist experience is highly valued, but it isn't essential. Genuine interest, clinical curiosity, and a desire to develop expertise in this area are equally important to us.
