Are you an experienced Speech Pathologist ready to take the next step into leadership while maintaining a meaningful clinical impact?
Recovery Station is seeking a
Regional Clinical Leader
– Senior Speech Pathologist
to play a pivotal role in developing our clinicians, driving clinical excellence, and supporting the continued growth of our highly regarded aged care and disability services.
This is an opportunity to join a
large, multidisciplinary allied health team
with more than
20 years of experience delivering evidence-based care for clients aged 12 +

The Opportunity
We are looking for a
Regional Team Lead

You will balance maintaining your own caseload along with supporting three new Grads and circa five experienced clincians (this varies as we grow and with parental leave).
As a community- based role, we predominantly see our clients either in their homes, group homes, aged care facilities or in a public setting that's relevant for them eg in a cafe to test out some new AAC.
We want to see our clients where they are most comfortable whilst also giving you a diverse role full of variety and learning opportunities.
Some of our team schedule a full day of seeing clients one day, then balance this with a work from home day or an office day to write reports, prepare resources, have supervision / training.
Or you can mix things up depending how you like to work.
A community role is great as it allows you to have genuine flexibility and control over how you structure your days and therefore you don't miss your afternoon sport or being able to drop the kids to school in the mornings / pick them up in the afternoons!
Logistically, we have a waterfront office in
Toronto
with convenient free parking and the role can be structured as
full-time
or
part time
.
Depending where you are based, we can tailor your caseload to service clients around Maitland, Newcastle or Lake Macquarie.
You will have someone assigned to you in admin to assist with scheduling appointments and they will work with you to ensure you aren't zigzagging around the Hunter and you'll have clients to see close to home.
Your day to day
The caseload is people over 16yrs of age, and includes those with a range of disabilities (e.g. intellectual disability, Autism, Down Syndrome), neurological events (e.g. stroke, acquired brain injury,



brain tumour), and degenerative disease (e.g. Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Huntington's Disease, dementia).
You will have the opportunity to provide assessment, therapy and management to clients with a range of speech pathology diagnosis including: non-verbal, dysphagia, dyspraxia, aphasia, pragmatics, voice clients.
Within this role you will have the fantastic opportunity to work primarily in client's homes, group homes and where appropriate in our clinics.
You will be working within a motivated team that embraces therapy that is person-centred, goal based and uses the latest evidence based methods.
If you have a foundation in paediatrics or hospital work and are curious about making the move to an adolescent or adult, community caseload - get in touch as we have a supportive team that is happy to help you make the transition.
