Northern Beaches, Australia Kids First Children's Services Full time

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're working in an environment where you're juggling too many kids and not enough support.

Maybe you're working solo and missing the energy of a team.

Or maybe you've simply outgrown your current role and are ready for a fresh start somewhere that aligns with your values and your goals.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone - and you might 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 multidisciplinary 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 hear you. And we've designed this role with speech pathologists like you in mind.

Want to get a feel for the role before applying?

In this short video, we share what it's really like to work at Kids First – how we support each other, how we collaborate, and why so many of our team choose to stay long term. Watch it here

This role is ideal if you:

  • Are fully registered with Speech Pathology Australia
  • Have experience supporting children aged 2–16 with a wide range of communication challenges
  • Are confident delivering one-to-one therapy and small group programs
  • Collaborate comfortably with OTs, psychologists, and early intervention teachers
  • Build warm, authentic relationships with families and educators
  • Communicate clearly and bring a calm, positive energy to your work
  • Live within a comfortable commute to Brookvale, in Sydney's lower northern beaches
  • Are eligible to hold a Medicare provider number

Whether you have two years of experience or twenty, we're looking for someone who is clinically confident, curious, and committed to doing great work with a great team.

What you'll find at Kids First:

A connected team of speechies, OTs, psychologists, and teachers

  • Allocated admin time built into every day
  • Weekly 1:1 mentoring and regular case conferences
  • A manageable caseload and meaningful flexibility
  • Your own therapy room and access to excellent resources
  • Structured onboarding and PD pathways that support your growth
  • A friendly Brookvale clinic with great coffee, green space, and fresh air just steps away

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.

Let's talk hours

This is a full-time role, but we're open to 4 days if that's a better fit for you.

Want to start part-time and build up? We're flexible.
