South West Hospital and Health Service has a temporary opportunity for a Speech Pathologist Senior to join the St George Community and Allied Health team.
Join us in building better health in the bush!
Your opportunity
The Speech Pathologist – Senior is a senior allied health professional and who uses high-level clinical skills and expertise, to provide evidenced base coordinated care across the broad continuum of health care, spanning paediatric (neo-natal to preschool age) and adult patients (including acute care and rehabilitation).
You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team (with other Queensland Health, government and non-government service providers) in the case management of clients to deliver high quality therapy, across the continuum of care, from local and outreach inpatient to outpatient and community-based service delivery, linking to metropolitan clinical services and utilising flexible innovative models of care to adapt to cultural and geographical barriers and limited community-based support.
The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care support in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
Escape the city crowds and discover a region rich in community spirit, diverse industry, wide open spaces and beautiful waterways. St George Hospital is a 31 bed facility located 513kms west of Brisbane, servicing a population of approximately 2,400. Whether you are after a tree change, or a pace change, you will quickly become part of the community you care for in St George.
What we can do for you
Ultimately, we provide you a platform to leapfrog your career with more opportunities to experience a wider scope of practice with less competition due to location and population.
Nowhere else will you experience the vast diversity of career advancement other than in rural and remote Queensland.
Be a part of something bigger
