Senior Speech Pathologist (530525)

Senior Speech Pathologist(s) (Permanent)

Tasmanian Health Service, South

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 for you.

We’re inviting applications for one or more Senior Speech Pathologists to join our collaborative and welcoming team in Southern Tasmania. This is a great opportunity to step into a senior clinical role within a department that values curiosity, kindness, and a good laugh.

About the Role
As a result of new funding, we currently have a total of 1.2 FTE available within both our Hospital in the Home (0.6FTE) and Community Transitional Care Program (0.6FTE) services.

The hours and caseload will be negotiated with the successful applicant(s), with the opportunity for either full-time or part-time permanent hours.

You’ll be part of a team of around 25 Speech Pathologists working across a variety of clinical areas. Whether you’re already experienced in a particular specialty or keen to broaden your scope, we’ll provide all the training, supervision, and support you need to feel confident and capable.

We know starting something new can be daunting — so we’ve built 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

• A senior clinical role in a team that’s serious about care, but not too serious about itself
• Structured support to help you develop new clinical skills, including supervision and peer mentoring
• Opportunities to contribute to service development and take on leadership responsibilities
• Involvement in mentoring junior staff and students from the University of Tasmania
• Generous professional development support, including a PD budget, paid travel to relevant events, and access to supervision
• Excellent donuts, world-class pinot noir, and sunsets viewed from Kunanyi / Mount Wellington that make even the busiest days feel worth it

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in Speech Pathology, with a willingness to keep learning
• A commitment to evidence-based practice and collaborative care
• Enthusiasm for mentoring and leadership
• Alignment with our values of Compassion, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence (CARE)

We’re proud to foster a workplace culture that supports your growth, values your contributions, and ensures you feel safe and supported every step of the way.
