Senior Speech Pathologist - Paediatrics

Full-time preferred | 0.6–1.0 FTE considered | Subiaco + Community

Already senior — or ready to take the next step? We'd like to hear from you.

Bring your colour. Strengthen others.

Being senior isn't just about years of experience.

It's about sound clinical judgement. Knowing when to lead and when to listen. Supporting others without needing to have every answer — and seeing opportunities to make things better.

At Embolden Kids, our care is child-led, strengths-based, relationship-driven and grounded in family partnership, identity affirmation and evidence-based practice.

We're looking for an experienced paediatric Speech Pathologist who wants their impact to extend beyond their own caseload.

Expertise — with curiosity. Autonomy — with accountability. Leadership — without ego.

Your next step

Already senior? Bring your experience and help strengthen clinical practice, mentor others and contribute to the direction of a growing practice.

Ready for more? For the right experienced clinician, we're open to an agreed pathway towards senior responsibilities, with mentoring, clear expectations and opportunities to demonstrate readiness.

We know leadership looks different for everyone.

Your contribution might include supporting complex clinical cases, mentoring developing clinicians, supervising students, sharing your expertise through team learning or contributing to service development.

We want you to bring your strengths, explore your interests and help shape what comes next.

Autonomy, with support.

You'll have meaningful clinical independence, alongside opportunities to continue developing your expertise and leadership skills.

Here's what that looks like:

- Fortnightly 1:1 leadership mentoring with our Principal Speech Pathologist & Director,



focused on developing your leadership capabilities and professional growth.

- 2 hours of protected mentoring time each week to support the clinical development of other team members.

- An established clinician expectation of 5.5–6 billable hours per day, with weekly clinical expectations adjusted to accommodate protected mentoring responsibilities.

- Opportunities to contribute to clinical learning, complex case discussions, quality improvement and service development.

- Flexibility to shape your leadership contribution around your strengths, interests and the evolving needs of Embolden.

We value clinical independence, but we also believe great clinicians never stop learning from each other.

What you'll get

- $115,000–$125,000 annual salary package, inclusive of superannuation, full-time equivalent and pro rata for part time, depending on experience and clinical leadership capability

- 5 weeks' annual leave + birthday leave

- $1,500 annual professional development allowance + paid PD leave

- Access to clinical resources and administrative support

You'll work across our Subiaco clinic and children's everyday environments, including homes, schools, daycares and the community, with kilometre reimbursement for work-related travel.
