Speech Pathologist | Adult Caseload Recovery Station

JOB DESCRIPTION

  • Adult Caseload – Neuro + Degenerative Disease + Disability
  • Ongoing Training & Development with Personalised CPD 
  • Competitive Remuneration + Bonus & RDO Incentives
  • Flexible Hours to Suit What’s Important To You

Our “Why”

Recovery Station exists to empower individuals to live a quality life. We believe in creating the ideal work environment for you because when you are happy, healthy, well-skilled and fulfilled, you’re in the best position to have a positive impact on the wellbeing of everyone around you.  

Key Traits of Recovery Station:  

  • We love what we do because everyone’s role contributes to helping our clients live a more independent, empowered life
  • Collaborating with passionate, likeminded colleagues creates connection and facilitates personal and professional growth
  • Keeping personalised care at the heart of what we do challenges us to seek new and innovative ways to deliver life-changing service

Joining Recovery Station means aligning with a company that believes in empowering you and your future. 
 

The Role

A clinical position with us is multi-faceted, to help you work in the way that allows you to be your best, whilst also allowing us to see our clients in the capacity that most appropriately matches their needs. 

Therefore, your day could involve start working from home or in the clinic to do some reports alongside your colleagues, with the afternoon’s spent visiting clients in their homes, group homes or an aged care facility. Or vice versa depending if you have kids to drop at school or afternoon sport to get to! Working in a community role allows you to have flexibility and control over structuring your day. 

Logistically, we have a clinic in Toronto that you can use and the role can be structured as full-time or part-time. We also respect that minimising driving time is important so we always work to structure your caseload as close to home as possible. 

You will suit this role if you’d like to:

  • Build relationships with your clients and their families or carers to learn what’s most important to them
  • Feel a sense of satisfaction from seeing your clients making progress
  • Enjoy receiving CPD via 1on1 meetings + wider team and multi-disc meetings so you can continue to develop your technical skills whilst sharing ideas and resources with your team
  • Enjoy the freedom, flexibility and the range of experiences that come with working in the community
     

How We Make an Impact

For over 15 years, Recovery Station has been providing community and clinic based allied health services, with a strong focus on disability and senior health. We have consistently grown and now proudly offer support to people with diverse needs across the Greater Hunter, Central Coast and Sydney regions.

Together, our passionate, multidisciplinary team of OTs, MHOT’s, MH Social Workers, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Allied Health Assistants collaboratively share their knowledge and experience to holistically design an individualised service to help improve the quality of life for people living with a disability or looking to age as independently as possible. 

Who Your Work Helps

The caseload is people over 16yrs of age, and includes those with a range of disabilities (e.g. intellectual disability, Autism, Down Syndrome), neurological events (e.g. stroke, acquired brain injury, brain tumour), and degenerative disease (e.g. Parkinson’s Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Huntington’s Disease, dementia). 

You will service individuals with complex needs in the community and within group homes (including speech, language and swallowing assessments and therapy, mealtime management plans). 

You will have the opportunity to provide assessment, therapy and management to clients with a range of speech pathology diagnosis including: non-verbal, dysphagia, dyspraxia, aphasia, pragmatics, voice clients.

The skills you will develop and demonstrate in the role:

  • A high level of professional judgement and knowledge to provide a wide range of speech and language supports to adolescent and adults with a variety of needs
  • Assess the communication and mealtime management abilities of the client utilising a range of assessment techniques and tools
  • Design intervention plans that are holistic, client-centric and outcomes driven
  • Provide support and assist clients, carers and families with the implementation of intervention plans and programs

With our training and support you will become confident in developing care plans and writing comprehensive reports based on your advanced clinical understanding, application of various clinical assessments and implementation of appropriate interventions to address prioritised needs.

How We Foster a Positive Team

To maintain a happy, healthy, productive culture we like to listen to feedback and understands what is important to you. 
Thus far, we’ve learned that our team benefits most from: 

  • Flexibility to schedule work around family, other employment or personal commitments (no weekend work)
  • A culture of care, collaboration and service to others
  • Remuneration packages that reflect your experience plus the option of performance bonuses + RDO incentives 
  • Discretion to utilise telehealth where appropriate (Laptop / iPad provided + phone/data allowance paid fortnightly)
  • Personalised one on one office support to reduce your admin and assist with scheduling appointments
  • Dedicated monthly wellness program including EAP and social catch ups such as team drinks, lunches, online cooking + art classes, trivia and birthday events to have fun and celebrate success 
  • Annual paid day off for “Recovery Station Day”

From a professional development perspective: 

  • Well begun is half done so you will initially receive a thorough orientation consisting of in-house time + in-field shadowing days with your Supervisor 
  • Moving forward you will have regular one on one meetings with your Supervisor to discuss goals personal to you via a CPD plan eg particular areas of interest for clinical specialisation
  • Your one on one meetings will be complimented with team meetings with your fellow Speechies so you can have in-services sessions, share ideas, resources and stay abreast of any industry updates 
  • We love facilitating development pathways for clinicians seeking career progression and added responsibility via either supervising students/ grads/ junior staff, increased complexity of caseload or involvement in management procedures depending on what avenue you’d like to explore 
  • Formal and informal opportunities to liaise with other members of our MDT to broaden your clinical knowledge and provide holistic care to our clients
  • All-company training day in where we bring the entire business together and invite external presenters for each discipline eg Kurt Fearnley
