Description

Senior Speech Pathologist (Permanent, Full-Time) Tasmanian Health Service, South [https://publicstorage.dc2.pageuppeople.com/384/ProviderAsset/scribble/d0b71e10-3f2d-40bc-96b6-38cca17271f1.png] Are you a Speech Pathologist looking for your next adventure — or maybe just a workplace where the coffee is strong, the team is friendly, and your professional growth is genuinely supported? We’ve got just the role. We’re inviting applications for a Senior Speech Pathologist to join our growing Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Speech Pathology service at the Royal Hobart Hospital. This is your chance to step into a senior clinical role in a department that values curiosity, kindness, excellence… and a good laugh along the way. About the Role You’ll work alongside our ENT Clinical Lead Speech Pathologist to deliver specialised care for patients with voice, swallowing, and upper airway disorders, while also contributing to the growth of this evolving service. You’ll be part of a collaborative team of around 25 Speech Pathologists, working across diverse clinical areas. Whether you’re already experienced in ENT or keen to build your skills in this space, we will support you every step of the way. We know starting (or stretching into) something new can feel daunting — so we’ve created a culture where: * Asking questions is encouraged * Learning is continuous * And no one expects you to know everything on day one (or even day two) What We Offer (aka why you’ll actually enjoy coming to work) * A senior clinical role with real influence in a developing specialist service * A supportive, down-to-earth team that’s serious about patient care (but not too serious about itself) * Strong focus on training and development, including: * Structured supervision and peer mentoring * Generous PD budget * Paid travel for relevant interstate courses and conferences * Access to clinical support from experienced colleagues * Hands-on training in instrumental assessments (VFSS, FEES, nasendoscopy, videostroboscopy) — whether you’re building confidence or starting from scratch * Opportunities to contribute to service development and leadership portfolios * Involvement in teaching and mentoring students from the University of Tasmania * A workplace grounded in CARE values: Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence And outside of work… We’re based just steps from Hobart’s iconic waterfront. That means: * Excellent coffee * Donuts, sourdough, and excellent lunch options * A thriving arts and food scene * Sunsets lighting up kunanyi / Mount Wellington that pair beautifully with a local pinot noir (or gris - if white is more your style) What We’re Looking For * Experience in Speech Pathology, with interest in ENT/upper airway management * Experience in instrumental assessment is highly regarded — but not essential if you’re willing to learn (we’ll train you) * Commitment to evidence-based practice and multidisciplinary collaboration * Enthusiasm for mentoring, leadership, and ongoing learning * Alignment with our CARE values The bottom line If you’re ready for a senior role where you’ll be supported, trained, and genuinely valued — not just expected to already know everything — we’d love to hear from you. Come for the clinical opportunities. Stay for the team, the training… and possibly the donuts. Interested?
