Speech Pathologists – Southern Adelaide – Junior & Senior – Kids to Adults
Pick your piece of the puzzle
Writing a job ad for speech pathologists is a little intimidating.
You're the communication experts, after all.
So we'll keep it simple: we're a warm, down-to-earth allied health team in Southern Adelaide, we're growing, and we'd love more Speech Pathologists to join us - whether you graduated last year or you've been doing this long enough to have strong opinions about core boards.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures, genders, ages, sexualities and abilities.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTQIA+ folks, people with lived experience of disability, and anyone returning to work after a career break are all warmly encouraged to apply.
If you need any adjustments during our recruitment process, just let us know - we're happy to make that happen.
Just starting out?
You'll get structured supervision, a mentor in your corner, a caseload that builds at a sensible pace, and a team who still remember exactly what their first year felt like.
New grads genuinely welcome and we mean it.
Been around the block?
Bring your expertise and we'll give you room to use it – mentoring a graduate Speech Pathologist, getting stuck into project work, and growing towards leadership if that's your thing.
Somewhere in between?
Perfect.
We'll shape the role around where you are now and where you'd like to go next.
About us
Jigsaw Therapy is a small, close-knit allied health team supporting children, adults and families across Southern Adelaide.
We take a tailored, person-centred approach - helping people build confidence, independence, and more choice and control over their lives.
We advocate with and for people with disability, so that every person we work with is heard (and we take that word pretty seriously around here).
Kindness, collaboration and genuinely listening sit at the heart of what we do – for our clients and for each other.




Where you'll be working
Clinic, community, or a bit of both – it's your call.
We'll shape your work setting around what suits you, your caseload and your life.
In our clinics
Based at our Morphett Vale or Christies Beach clinics.
Out in the community
Therapy where life actually happens - in homes, kindies, schools, workplaces and community spaces - so strategies stick in the places they matter most.
Or a mix
Plenty of our team split their week between both.
Who you'll be working with
From toddlers finding their very first words to adults discovering new ways to be heard, our clients span the whole lifespan.
You can lean into paediatrics, adults or a mix of both, with a caseload shaped around your strengths, interests and experience.
What a week might look like
Early childhood intervention (0–7 years) - play-based therapy
Speech, language and communication assessments across all ages
Functional therapy that fits real life - at home, kindy, school, work and out in the community
Mealtime and feeding support and intervention
Social communication and pragmatic support
AAC assessment, implementation and training - helping every person find a way to say what they want to say
Literacy and language intervention
Coaching families, carers and support workers so the good work keeps going between sessions
Teaming up with Occupational therapist, Physiotherapist and other allied health colleagues
Sessions in our clinics, out in the community, or both - depending on the setting you choose
For senior clinicians

Regular supervision and access to senior clinicians, including our Speech Pathology Clinical Lead
Manageable caseloads designed for quality, not quantity
Flexible hours and hybrid options – part time (3 days per week) or full time

Have any amount of experience – we'll match the support to where you're at

Enjoy working in a clinic, out in the community, or both
Communicate with warmth, clarity and professionalism – we suspect you've got this one covered

Are organised, proactive and values-driven
Hold (or are willing to obtain) a Working with Children Check and NDIS Worker Screening

On driving
community-based work needs a driver's licence and access to a reliable car.
If you're keen on a clinic-based role and driving is a barrier, get in touch anyway – we're happy to talk through what's possible.
Your application will include the following questions:
Which of the following statements best describes your right to work in Australia?
How many years' experience do you have as a speech pathologist?
Do you have a current Australian driver's licence?
Do you own or have regular access to a car?
