Job Description

SLP Opportunities | High Support, Low Burnout | Flexible Clinic & Community Mix

Are you tired of the high-pressure KPI treadmill? 

Or are you working community-only roles with little-to-no input from a surrounding MDT?

We are currently representing several established practices across North Melbourne, West Melbourne, and the Mornington Peninsula that actually prioritise clinician well-being and support over volume.

 

Why these roles stand out:

  • Sustainable Workload: Below industry standard targets - genuine time for prep and reporting.

  • Burnout-Aware Culture: These clinics are led by directors who understand the mental load of a paediatric caseload and actively foster a supportive, stress-aware environment.

  • Investment in You: Access high-quality, structured mentorship (both internal and external) tailored to your specific clinical interests, whether it's AAC, Neuro-affirming practice, or Early Intervention.

  • Total Flexibility: Design a week that works for you. Choose your preferred mix of in-clinic work and community outreach, with full support for WFH and flexible hours.

  • The Team: Join vibrant, multidisciplinary environments where collaboration isn't just a buzzword - it's how the day-to-day works.

 

The Package:

  • Salary: $90,000 – $115,000 + Super (commensurate with experience).

  • Benefits: Vary - but all include CPD allowances ($1,000+) and travel reimbursement.

  • Caseload: Primarily Paediatric (1–13 years); tailored to your preference/expertise.

 

About You:

You are a passionate Speech-Language Pathologist who values clinical integrity as much as career growth. Whether you are a "rising star" in your 2nd year or a seasoned Senior looking for a more sustainable pace, you fit the mold if:

  • You Value Quality: You’d rather do a deep dive into an AAC setup or a complex report than rush through back-to-back sessions.

  • You’re Collaborative: You enjoy the water cooler talk and the ability to bounce ideas off OTs, Physios, and fellow SLPs.

  • Qualified & Registered: You hold a degree in Speech Pathology and are eligible for (or hold) Certified Practising Speech Pathologist (CPSP) status with Speech Pathology Australia.

 

How to Apply:

We know you’re busy, and the best clinicians usually are. We want to make this easy for you.

If you’re curious but not quite ready to hit "Apply," reach out for a confidential, no-pressure chat about which of our current Melbourne locations (North, West, or Peninsula) might suit you best.
