• Are you a qualified Paediatric Speech Pathologist?
• Do you love making a difference with children, teens and families?
• Are you looking to work at a place where your voice matters?

Chatterbox

Chatterbox is a creative thinking, one-of-a-kind Paediatric Therapy Centre providing a holistic approach to treating children and teens with a wide variety of diagnoses.

Our experience tells us that a holistic and family focused approach to paediatric therapy is the most effective way to treat and reach client and family goals. We also make a direct and positive impact to NDIS participants.

We’re passionate about making a difference, which has led to a growth in our services. We are now seeking Paediatric Speech Pathologists to join our team.

Skills & Experience

YOU are our ideal team member because you have:

• A recognised degree in Speech Pathology.
• A current registration with Speech Pathology Australia.
• Experience in providing speech pathology services to children with speech and language disorders.
• Ability to accurately assess, plan and monitor intervention in the area of communication disorders in children.
• Experience in working with children with an ASD
• Current understanding of issues, trends and approaches underpinning the provision of services to children with ASD and their families and carers.

• Group therapy experience, incorporating social skills, arts and crafts, music, and drama (advantageous, however we can train you in our creative methods)
• Initiative and the passion to create opportunities for our clients
• A desire to make each day a happy one for yourself, clients and colleagues
• Registration with SPAA (required)
• NDIS Worker Screening Check
• Working with Children Check and a Police Check (current or in the process)

Plus:

• You’re a team player who adores children and loves to see them achieve goals
• You enjoy a laugh and having FUN! (yes, we can be a little crazy at times)

Key Responsibilities

• Providing specialist support services to children, their families and carers. These services are delivered within a family centred approach. This means the Speech Pathologist works with families to identify their strengths and needs and to design a program of support.
• Work as a member of a Multidisciplinary Team. The team at Chatterbox provide a range of specialist services to children with delays in the following way:
  • Services are primarily provided to the patient within the clinic environment.
  • Intervention may involve the development of individual or group programs or a combination of both.
  • The families of the child being treated are involved in all aspects of service delivery including planning and decision-making process, ongoing communication and review.
  • Speech Pathologists primarily work within a multidisciplinary model. This involves collaboration with other clinical disciplines in the development and delivery of intervention programs to facilitate a family centred approach and individualised programs.
• Participation in ongoing professional development activities to ensure speech pathology intervention is based on best practice principles.
• Once more experienced, you may be required to manage more complex client issues and other activities with less supervision.

Why you might want to be a part of our team:

• You will be supported by leadership team who loves to listen to what you have to say
• We value work-life balance (yes, it’s a thing here)
• Mentorship, career development and supervision (we have a dedicated department for this)
• In-service CPD (Continuing Professional Development) with ongoing opportunities
• Incentive programs (because you are rewarded for being awesome!)
• Oh, and happy-Fridays-treats too!
