Senior Speech Pathologist / Team Leader - Sydney Hills District

Senior Speech Pathologist / Team Leader — Community | Sydney Hills District | 12-Month Parental Leave Cover

We're partnering with a well-regarded allied health provider in Sydney's Hills District to appoint a Senior Speech Pathologist / Team Leader on a 12-month parental leave contract.

This is a genuine step up for a mid-to-senior speech pathologist with community experience who's ready to lead a team without committing to a permanent role — or for a current Team Leader looking for a change of scene with a defined 12-month runway.

You'll take over an established, well-functioning team and a warm handover from the outgoing Team Leader, so you're set up to hit the ground running rather than building from scratch.

About the role

Leading a small team of community speech pathologists delivering in-home, in-school and on-site therapy across the Hills District and surrounding suburbs. You'll split your time between clinical work and team leadership — the balance is flexible depending on your strengths and the team's needs during the contract.

Typical caseload spans paediatric and adult community work — early intervention, school-age language and literacy, AAC, feeding, adult neurogenic communication and swallowing, and NDIS participants across the lifespan.

Your remit will cover:

• Day-to-day leadership, support and mentoring of the community speech pathology team
• Clinical sup
