At Coastal Speech Therapy, everything we do is about one thing: a child having the confidence to take their place alongside everyone else. Our founder and Director, Nicole Ohanesian, started the practice over 4 years ago to build therapy around exactly that, and it is what guides our therapy every day.
We are growing, and this is one of two Speech Pathologist roles we are hiring for. From day one, you will be supported through weekly one on one supervision and fortnightly professional development team meetings.
