Speech Pathologist

Want to make a meaningful impact every day?

For more than 130 years, SensesWA has supported the Western Australian community through person-centred, inclusive and meaningful services. Guided by our values of being Authentic, Courageous, Inclusive and Curious, we are committed to creating an environment where both our clients and our people can thrive. We warmly welcome applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people from diverse cultural backgrounds, people of all genders and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

As part of our Allied Health team, you will join a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment focused on helping people communicate, connect and live more independently. This opportunity is available on either a full-time or part-time basis and offers strong clinical support, professional development and flexible working arrangements. You will be supported to deliver evidence-based, person-centred therapy across homes, schools, workplaces, community settings and our hubs.

About the Role

As a Speech Pathologist, you will provide high-quality, evidence-based therapy services to children, adolescents and adults with a range of communication, swallowing and developmental needs. Client groups can be tailored to your preferences, as not all clinicians wish to work across all age ranges.

You will work within a multidisciplinary team to support clients to achieve meaningful goals that improve participation, independence and quality of life. This community-based role offers variety, flexibility, and the opportunity to grow your clinical skills within a supportive allied health environment. Opportunities to build capability in specialist areas, including Deafblind support and dysphagia, are also available, with training and supervision provided.
