**About the position**

The School of Allied Health, Human Services & Sport (SAHHSS) is a leading provider of training for a range of allied health professional disciplines in Victoria. An integral part of the practical learning in the disciplines of Speech Pathology, Podiatry, and Orthoptics involves student-led internal clinics delivered largely on the Bundoora campus of La Trobe University in dedicated facilities. The primary function of the School’s clinics is to provide a supportive environment for students to progressively develop clinical competencies. Additionally, the School’s clinics provide a service to the community (including some outreach to locations such as schools and other community organisations) and are an active base for clinical research.

Reporting to the Head/Deputy Head of Clinical Education, the Clinical Education Lead, Speech Pathology manages the day-to-day clinical teaching activities of the School’s Speech Pathology Clinic, including the leadership and management of Clinical Educators in Speech Pathology, serving the on-campus placement requirements of the discipline, and collaborating with the School’s other Clinical Education Leads to advance clinical education across the School. Clinical Education Leads also perform the important function of supporting and supervising our students to develop their clinical skills while delivering a supervised clinical service to patients/clients.

Clinical Education Leads are expected to be experienced clinical practitioners who can supervise the provision of clinical services while overseeing a range of students interacting with patients/clients.
