Paediatric Speech Pathologist – North Lakes
Before we tell you anything about the role... we know Christmas is coming up, and that can make it a tricky time to make a change. If you think we are your best next step, ask us about our Christmas continuity bonus!
About the role
Step into the role of resident Speech Pathologist on our North Lakes team.
You've built your foundations, at least 3 years in paediatrics as a Speech Pathologist, and you're ready for real clinical ownership. Not a heavily supervised graduate structure, but a role where you can lead from behind, do good work, and truly partner with families.
Our much-loved previous North Lakes speechie has relocated, leaving a defined caseload of children aged 2.5 to 12 years. This role is ready to walk into, with a warm team of 3 paediatric OTs waiting to welcome you as our resident Speechie, and work alongside you.
Hi, I'm Bec, Co-founder and Managing Director of Progress Pathways. Over the past 4.5 years, our team of 13 therapists across Kedron, North Lakes, and Burleigh Heads has built a practice rooted in warmth, evidence-based care, and quiet excellence. We are lifelong learners who show up for our families every day, and we are looking for our next North Lakes resident speechie.
