Are you an experienced paediatric Speech Pathologist who loves assessment, planning, mentoring and big‑picture thinking, but is feeling burnt out by full days of back‑to‑back therapy sessions? This is a

rare, refreshing role

designed specifically for you.

Zanda Speech & OT is expanding our leadership team and seeking a confident, experienced Speech Pathologist to step into a

Team Leader – Assessment, Consulting & Parent Coaching

Join us at a pivotal moment as we roll out our new

Key Worker model , expand our

Therapy Assistant Program , and introduce our custom‑built therapy planning and outcome‑tracking software that makes assessment, goal setting and plan reviews streamlined and genuinely enjoyable.

Parent coaching sessions – via Zoom or at our Ivanhoe hub – helping families understand their child’s needs and confidently implement strategies

Supporting families to identify functional goals, priorities and next steps

Collaborating with our therapy assistants, key workers and speech pathologists

No travel – 100% based at our Ivanhoe hub

Supporting and supervising our 2026 Graduate Speech Pathology cohort (4 graduates)

Providing clinical insight, quality assurance and guidance across therapy plans

Helping embed our evolving Key Worker and Therapy Assistant models

Contributing to a collaborative, supportive and well‑organised team culture

You’ll collaborate daily with our speech pathologists at the Ivanhoe hub and also connect with our new multidisciplinary team at the Macleod Allied Health Hub (psychology, physiotherapy, counselling and more).
