Are you an adventure-seeking Speechie that isn't interested in a run-of-the-mill 9-to-5 job at an under-resourced desk in the city, who's looking to kickstart your career with a diverse caseload, individualised supervision, and flexible working hours?
Join the club. We've got hot pink caps and are off to the camel races this weekend.
Who are we?
We are a leading multi-disciplinary Allied Health organisation on a mission to improve health access to rural, remote, and indigenous communities. Our intrepid team have made a difference for over 30 years, across a vast 3000km of QLD & NSW and have helped countless clients achieve their goals along the way. We love debunking myths about what it means to work in rural practice and pride ourselves on our extensive experience, clinical innovation, and person-centred approach to therapy. We believe everyone should have access to exceptional in-person therapy services, no matter where they live!
What sets us apart? Our New Grad Program is revised each year by current new grads to provide superior support & flexibility, 1:1 supervision & career growth opportunities.
A genuinely fun and supportive team; no need for exaggerated marketing schemes - you go rural for the career opportunities & stay for the down-to-earth culture & life-long friends you make.
