Paediatric Speech Pathologist | Brookvale, Sydney

You change kids’ lives for the better – but right now, you’re looking for more.

More time to do your job well.
More connection with families.
More collaboration with people who genuinely care.
More meaning, and less burnout.

Maybe you are working in an environment where the caseload feels too heavy and the support too light.
Maybe you are working more independently than you would like and missing the energy of a team.
Or maybe you have simply outgrown your current role and are ready for a fresh start in a practice that feels more aligned with your values and goals.

If that sounds familiar, you may be just who we’re looking for.

What you want in your next role matters.

You want to:

• Work in a setting where therapy is personal, not pressured

• Build meaningful relationships with children and their families

• Have the support of senior colleagues who care about your growth

• Be part of an experienced multi-disciplinary team where collaboration happens every day

• Feel like your work matters – and be recognised for the contribution you make

At Kids First Children’s Services, we understand that. We have designed this role with speech pathologists like you in mind.

This opportunity:

We’re looking for another fantastic Speech Pathologist to join Kids First’s experienced multidisciplinary team in Brookvale.

You’ll be working alongside Child Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and specialist Early Intervention teachers in a practice where collaboration, mentoring and professional growth are part of everyday life.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a fully registered Speech Pathologist who wants to keep learning, be well supported, and do meaningful work with children and families.

Why Kids First?

Kids First Children’s Services is a long-established, award-winning paediatric practice based in Brookvale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Since 2007, our multidisciplinary team has supported thousands of children and families. Over that time, we have built a strong local reputation for clinical excellence, integrity, and the warm, practical way we support children in their real worlds.

Families come to Kids First through word of mouth, medical referrals, and longstanding relationships with local schools, preschools and community professionals. That trust matters to us.

We have also worked hard to build the kind of practice many clinicians hope to find: experienced, collaborative, well supported, and deeply committed to helping both children and clinicians thrive.

When you join Kids First, you’ll find:

• a warm, connected team of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Child Psychologists, and specialist Early Intervention teachers
• daily collaboration with experienced colleagues
• weekly 1:1 mentoring with an experienced Senior Speech Pathologist
• weekly Speech Hub meetings and regular multidisciplinary case conferences
• structured induction to help you settle in well
• daily allocated administration time so your evenings stay your own
• a manageable caseload and meaningful flexibility
• a generous professional development budget and leave allocation
• access to evidence-based programmes and resources
• your own therapy room and well-equipped clinic spaces
• strong customer service and operational support
• a salary-based role with bonus opportunities that recognise consistent contribution
• Early Finish Friday each week
• genuine opportunities to keep growing in confidence, skill and contribution

At Kids First, you’re a person first and a practitioner second.
We give you the time you need.
We respect the boundaries of your personal and professional worlds so that work stays at work.

This role will suit you if you:

• have experience supporting children aged 2 to 16 with a wide range of communication needs
• are confident providing one-to-one therapy and small group programmes
• are comfortable working alongside Occupational Therapists, Child Psychologists, and specialist Early Intervention teachers
• build warm, authentic relationships with families and educators
• communicate clearly, work collaboratively, and bring a positive presence to your team
• want to keep developing your clinical knowledge and craft in a well-supported private practice

Whether you have 2 years of experience or 20, we are looking for someone who is clinically confident, curious, and committed to doing great work with a great team.

This is a full-time role, but we’re open to a 4-day week if that suits you better.
Want to start part-time and build up? We’re open to that too. Let’s chat about what works for you.
