We’re looking for a speech pathologist to join our team at Geelong Neuro Centre.
Learn, Grow and Thrive with Us
Are you a forward-thinking speech pathologist passionate about neuro rehabilitation?
Would you love the security of a fortnightly salary, paid annual leave and a four-weekly rewards program recognising your high-level client care?
Do you want to work in a purpose-built neurological clinic with world-class equipment, a fun and supportive multidisciplinary team and access to the latest assistive technologies?
Would you like to grow your skills through 1:1 structured mentoring with a senior speech pathologist, plus discipline-specific PD and whole-team professional development?
This role is ideal for a speech pathologist in the early stages of their career who’s keen to specialise in neuro. Whether you’re a new grad or more experienced, we’d love to hear from you, and we’ll tailor your mentoring to where you’re at.
The Clinical Work
As a Speech Pathologist at Geelong Neuro Centre, you’ll join a collaborative multidisciplinary team of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Exercise Physiologists and Podiatrists. You’ll see clients in our purpose-built clinic, in their homes and out in the community, depending on what suits their goals.
You can work with adults, children, or both. It’s your choice, and you won’t be expected to cover both.
Adults: people who’ve had a stroke or brain injury, and people living with Parkinson’s, MS and other progressive neurological conditions
Children: kids with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, brain injury, developmental delay and rare genetic conditions
We’re proud of our client-centred, evidence-based approach. Depending on who you work with, our Speech Pathology services include, but are not limited to:
Dysphagia assessment and rehabilitation
Paediatric feeding therapy
AAC assessment, prescription and training
Cognitive-communication and social communication rehabilitation
Our Parkinson’s service, including the SPEAK OUT! and LOUD Crowd groups
Your week will be a mix of regular sessions, intensive programs and groups. That means you’ll build ongoing relationships with clients and also see a wide range of presentations. Plenty of what comes through our door is rare, and you’ll have room to follow the areas you find most interesting.
We have a dedicated team room for the non-client part of your day. An intake coordinator handles new referrals and gets clients ready for their first appointment, so you can spend your time on therapy.
Getting better at what you do
Everyone here sets 12-month and 3-year personal and professional goals, and we review them regularly to track your progress. Alongside that, you’ll get:
1:1 mentoring and group mentoring
Opportunities for shadowing and joint sessions
In-house and external PD, plus a PD allowance
We’ll also teach you the things uni didn’t: how funding works, writing reports, building relationships with referrers and managing your own diary. Many of our team have come from public health, so we know what that switch is like.
Our Technology
We have equipment most clinics don’t. It’s shared across the whole team, and we’ll train you on all of it.
High-tech communication devices and apps
The full Control Bionics suite on site to make device trials easier, including Uno Touch, NeuroNode and eye gaze systems
BiSSkit swallowing software
Sensory equipment
A variety of formal assessments for a range of diagnoses and goals
How you’re rewarded
Not by billing alone. We use Clinical Excellence Indicators, which measure your client care, including your cancellation rate, rebooking rate and utilisation, along with your clinical reasoning and how you work with the team.
We have a four-weekly rewards program. The expectations are clear, and most of our clinicians meet or exceed them within normal working hours, earning reward payments averaging $2,000 per reward block.
Your week
38 hours, Monday to Friday. No weekends. Documentation time and PD time are built into your roster, not squeezed in around it. Once you’ve settled in and built your caseload, we’re happy to talk about adaptable schedules like a 9-day fortnight or a 4-day week.
Where it can lead
Clinical Specialist, Stream Leader, mentor or supervisor, leadership or ownership. You pick the direction, and we help you get there.
