We are looking for a Telehealth Speech Pathologist to join our wonderful team.
Telehealth Speech Pathologist
Picture this…… it’s 9am and you’ve just sat down with a hot cup of tea at your desk at home.
Your dishwasher & washing machine are humming away in the background. (Is it just us or does it feel so productive to have two appliances going?)
You open up your computer and get ready for your first client.
Meanwhile, in rural Australia, your client is logging on to their appointment with you - virtually.
After connecting with your client from the comfort of your own home, its then time to jump on a call with one of your colleagues - a Key Worker, Physiotherapist, or Occupational Therapist to discuss a mutual client.
You are making a difference in the lives of our rural community all whilst working from home - no travel costs, no commuting, and best of all, no barriers!
You have a flexible working arrangement. You are in charge of choosing your own hours and working days so there is never any need to ask permission to go to your kids' school concert. You also have access to unlimited support from a beautiful team of three other Speech Pathologists, plus a wider team of multidisciplinary therapists.
