Speech Pathologist – Paediatrics & Disability
Say It Louder Speech Pathology – Ivanhoe East VIC
Are you a Speech Pathologist who cares about doing excellent work?
Whether you're an experienced clinician looking for a practice where you can genuinely enjoy your work, or a new graduate ready to build your confidence in a supportive environment, we'd love to hear from you.
Say It Louder Speech Pathology is a growing private practice in
Ivanhoe East
, supporting children from 18 months and their families across clinic, community and telehealth settings.
We're looking for our
first team member
—which means you won't simply be stepping into an established role. You'll have a genuine opportunity to help shape our practice, culture and the way we support families.
We're looking for someone
warm, curious, thoughtful and clinically driven
. Someone who enjoys working with children and families, thinks critically and takes pride in doing things well.
The role
You'll work with children and families across a range of communication and developmental needs, with the opportunity to develop your caseload around your clinical interests.
This may include:
Speech sound disorders
Social communication
Literacy
Fluency
Autism and neurodivergence
AAC and assistive technology
Disability and complex communication needs
Our approach is
evidence-based, relationship-centred and neurodiversity-affirming
. We believe therapy should be meaningful and functional—not therapy for therapy's sake.
For new graduates
Your first role matters. We want you to have the time, support and psychological safety to learn, ask questions and develop into the clinician you want to be.
You'll have access to:
Regular supervision and mentoring
Clinical guidance and support
Professional development and funding
Support with assessment, clinical reasoning, report writing and therapy planning
Opportunities to observe and learn from experienced clinicians
A manageable caseload that grows with your confidence




You don't need to know everything. We're much more interested in your
curiosity, attitude and willingness to learn
.

Strong administrative support
— less paperwork, more clinical time
Variety

A beautiful, well-resourced clinic
in a renovated wellness centre in Ivanhoe East
A warm, collaborative team environment
Fair remuneration
that recognises your skills and contribution
Who we're looking for
You might be a great fit if you:
Are clinically thoughtful and curious
Build genuine relationships with children and families
Are reliable, organised and communicative
Enjoy collaboration and sharing ideas
Are comfortable working independently—or keen to develop that confidence
Value ongoing learning and professional growth
Approach autism and disability from a respectful, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming perspective
Take pride in the quality of your work
Bring warmth, energy and a good sense of humour
AAC experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
We care more about your clinical thinking, attitude and willingness to learn than ticking every box.
The essentials
You'll need:




A tertiary qualification in Speech Pathology, or be completing your final year and eligible to commence practice upon graduation
Be a certified Speech Pathology Australia member
A genuine interest in paediatric practice
A current Working With Children Check and Police Check, or willingness to obtain them
A current driver's licence and reliable vehicle
Your own laptop
Why Say It Louder?
Joining at this stage means
your contribution will genuinely matter
.
You'll have a voice, know the families you work with, have autonomy in your clinical practice and the opportunity to help shape the future of the practice as it grows.
Most importantly, we want Say It Louder to be somewhere you
look forward to coming to work
.
A note from Courtney, Founder
I started Say It Louder because I wanted to create the kind of practice I would have wanted to work in myself—a place where clinicians are trusted, families feel genuinely heard and quality of care matters more than how many appointments we can fit into a day.
I care deeply about the families we support, but I care just as much about the people providing that support. I don't believe great therapy should come at the expense of clinician wellbeing.
As our practice grows, I'm now looking for my
first team member
—someone thoughtful, kind, reliable and curious, who I can genuinely enjoy working alongside.
If you're experienced, I'd love you to bring your knowledge, confidence and clinical interests.
If you're a new graduate, I'd love to help you develop them. You don't need to have it all figured out.
As the first person to join me, you'll have a genuine opportunity to help shape what Say It Louder becomes. Your ideas will matter, your voice will be heard, and I want you to feel proud of what we build together.
If you're looking for a place where you can do work you're proud of—and actually enjoy coming to work I'd love to hear from you.
