Newcastle, Australia Foundation First Speech Pathology Full time

Are you tired of money-focussed practice? Inflexible work hours that don't suit your schedule or always working overtime without compensation? Management who don't hear you when you speak? You've found your solution.

Join Foundation First Speech Pathology and become part of our close-knit team providing services in the Newcastle and Maitland area. We're dedicated to providing a 'forever job' environment where you'll find it hard to imagine working anywhere else.

With a commitment to positive workflow and ethical practices, we ensure that our clinicians are healthy and engaged, leading to successful therapies and outcomes for our clients. Specializing in services for children, we reduce clinical demands on our team to promote the best available care.
