ORS is seeking an experienced Senior Speech Pathologist for an onsite role in Canberra, designed for a leader who wants to shape practice across the lifespan in NDIS division. You’ll mentor clinicians, contribute to service innovation, and help set practice standards while delivering quality, person-centred care across homes, schools and telehealth. Core duties include comprehensive communication and paediatric feeding assessments, AAC, mealtime plans, and ongoing therapy. The role values flexibility, calendar ownership, clustering clients near home, and opportunities to pursue leadership paths. To apply, tailor your CV to highlight leadership, collaboration, and outcomes, confirm SPA registration, a valid driver’s license, and checks; apply directly or speak with Chris Galvin at 0477 010 235 or [email protected].

Senior Speech Pathologist – Create a Career That Works for You

If you’re looking for a role where you can grow your career, design your own working rhythm, and make a meaningful impact every day, this could be the perfect next step.

At ORS, we know that you wear many hats — clinician, parent, partner, friend, mentor — and we’ve built a workplace that genuinely supports you to thrive in all of them. As our team continues to grow, we’re inviting an experienced Speech Pathologist to join us in a senior capacity and shape the next chapter of your career.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to step into a senior role where your voice, expertise and leadership matter. You’ll work with participants across the lifespan within our NDIS division, supporting children, young people, and adults with a wide range of goals. No two days will look the same, and you’ll have the freedom to structure your schedule around your commitments and preferred working style.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll provide high-quality, person-centred services including:

• Comprehensive communication assessments
• Swallowing and paediatric feeding assessments
• Mealtime management plans
• AAC assessments and recommendations
• Ongoing therapy and intervention
• Support across homes, schools, community settings and telehealth

You’ll also have opportunities to mentor early-career clinicians, contribute to service innovation, and help shape best practice within a supportive multidisciplinary team.

Flexibility That Lets You Breathe

We understand that balance is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. That’s why we offer:

• Genuine work-from-home flexibility
• Full ownership of your calendar so you can work in a way that suits your life
• The ability to cluster clients close to home where possible
• Options for part-time or adjusted hours
• Local suburban offices with free parking when you need a change of scenery

This is a role designed to support your lifestyle, not consume it.

Career Pathways That Don’t Stall

Your growth is a priority here. We offer:

• Regular internal and external professional development
• Clear and realistic leadership and specialisation pathways
• Paid training, supervision and tailored learning aligned to your career goals
• Opportunities to lead projects, supervise others or deepen your clinical niche

Whether you want to specialise, lead, or simply refine your craft — you’ll be supported every step of the way.

What You’ll Bring

• A degree in Speech Pathology
• SPA registration (or eligibility)
• A driver’s licence and access to a vehicle
• Relevant checks (or willingness to obtain)
• A warm, collaborative approach and a commitment to quality practice
