Job Description
Speech Pathologist – Paediatrics & Disability
n
Say It Louder Speech Pathology – Ivanhoe East VIC
n
Are you a Speech Pathologist who cares about doing great work?
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
The role
n
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.
n
This may include:
n
n
Speech sound disorders
n
Social communication
n
Literacy
n
Fluency
n
Autism and neurodivergence
n
AAC and assistive technology
n
Disability and complex communication needs
n
n
Our approach is evidence-based, relationship-centred and neurodiversity-affirming. We believe therapy should be meaningful and functional—not therapy for therapy's sake.
n
For new graduates
n
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.
n
You'll have access to:
n
n
Regular supervision and mentoring
n
Clinical guidance and support
n
Professional development and funding
n
Support with assessment, clinical reasoning, report writing and therapy planning
n
Opportunities to observe and learn from experienced clinicians
n




A manageable caseload that grows with your confidence
n
n
You don't need to know everything. We're much more interested in your curiosity, attitude and willingness to learn.
n
What working here looks like
n
We're intentionally building a practice where clinicians can do excellent work without burning out.
n
You can expect:
n
n
Realistic caseloads — quality over quantity
n
Flexibility and autonomy — build a working week that suits you and your clients
n
Strong administrative support — less paperwork, more clinical time
n
Variety — clinic, community and telehealth work
n
Supervision and mentoring — support without micromanagement
n
Professional development — funding, guidance and encouragement
n
A beautiful, well-resourced clinic in a renovated wellness centre in Ivanhoe East
n
A warm, team-oriented team environment
n
Fair remuneration that recognises your skills and contribution
n
n
Who we're looking for
n
You might be a great fit if you:
n
n
Are clinically thoughtful and curious
n
Build genuine relationships with children and families
n
Are reliable, organised and communicative
n
Enjoy collaboration and sharing ideas
n
Are comfortable working independently—or keen to develop that confidence
n
Value ongoing learning and professional growth
n
Approach autism and disability from a respectful, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming perspective
n
Take pride in the quality of your work
n
Bring warmth, energy and a good sense of humour
n
n
AAC experience is a bonus, not a requirement. We care more about your clinical thinking, attitude and willingness to learn than ticking every box.
n
The essentials
n




You'll need:
n
n
A tertiary qualification in Speech Pathology, or be completing your final year and eligible to commence practice upon graduation
n
Be a certified Speech Pathology Australia member
n
A genuine interest in paediatric practice
n
A current Working With Children Check and Police Check, or willingness to obtain them
n
A current driver's licence and reliable vehicle
n
Your own laptop
n
n
Why Say It Louder?
n
Joining at this stage means your contribution will genuinely matter.
n
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.
n
Most importantly, we want Say It Louder to be somewhere you look forward to coming to work.
n
A note from Courtney, Founder
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
If you're experienced, I'd love you to bring your knowledge, confidence and clinical interests.
n
If you're a new graduate, I'd love to help you develop them. You don't need to have it all figured out.
n
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.
n
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.
