Speech Pathologist - VIC

at  Better Rehab

This is a unique opportunity to strengthen and develop your clinical expertise by providing both assessments and therapeutic interventions to a variety of people between the ages of 7 and 65 years old, who present with neurological disorders and other types of disabilities. In collaboration with your supportive multidisciplinary team, you will be working with clients and their families and caregivers, many of whom have NDIS funding, both in the community setting and in our clinic spaces. At Better Rehab, no two days are the same, though a typical Speech Pathologist’s day may involve:

• Providing treatment to a variety of people who rely on you to improve their lives. You will assess their needs, design appropriate therapy plans, and advocate on their behalf. You may work with participants with a range of conditions including Autism, Post-Stroke and Parkinsons.
• Supporting participants in the disability and neuro sector across a number of areas including adult and child language, social communication and swallowing/dysphagia by using a range of AAC devices.
• Collaborating with your multidisciplinary team consisting of Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Occupational Therapists and Positive Behaviour Support Practitioners to share knowledge and ideas
• Celebrating “Weekly Wins” with your participants, their families, your colleagues, and your supportive Leadership Team
• Attending formal and informal opportunities for networking and learning and development across a national level
• Reporting directly to the NDI
