I have been working as a connect therapy (telehealth) speech pathologist for Kerin Health for over a year and I’m excited to share my experience with you. 

Due to changing personal circumstances I wanted to find a way to continue doing the therapy I love while also living where I want and travelling frequently. I was put in touch with Kerin Health who offered such an opportunity and we set to work creating the role. I naively assumed that working online with an already well connected team would result in some feelings of isolation and lack of connection. I was also worried that I would struggle to provide the same standard of therapy through a different medium.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. 

Right from the start, Kerin Health did everything possible to make me feel valued and a key part of the team. I was given the space and trust to develop my way of working while also given as much one on one time with my colleagues as needed. Hybrid meetings were quickly arranged and I was able to develop meaningful relationships with my colleagues and feel supported within this new role. 

I was given the means and resources to develop therapy sessions for children that were online but no less effective than in person. Whether I needed certain online tools, microphones for the clients or someone on the ground to support a more difficult session, Kerin Health didn’t hesitate to support and facilitate these needs.

I’m able to carry out effective and high quality therapy to my clients from the comfort of my own home. 

Professional development is a cornerstone of working within Kerin Health and discipline-specific meetings mean that both formal and informal upskilling takes base regularly. This role has been a fantastic opportunity to develop other areas of practice and also share my expertise with my colleagues. 

If you’re looking for a new way of working that gives you the opportunity for flexibility, professional practice and development, look no further than Kerin Health.
