Company Description

Ninja Allied Health, founded by two Occupational Therapists, who are dedicated to supporting every allied health therapist on our team, is a award-winning provider of allied health services based in Ipswich. We offer personalised services designed to meet our clients’ unique needs, with a commitment to making a substantial, positive difference in their lives.

Role Description

At Ninja Allied Health, we’ve always believed that our work goes beyond simply providing therapy, it’s about making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. As the founders of Ninja Allied Health, our mission has always been to offer innovative, client-centred care that truly meets the unique needs of each individual we serve.

We’re particularly passionate about supporting the next generation of allied health practitioners. That’s why we’ve developed a 12-month programme specifically designed for new graduates like you. This programme was created in collaboration with our current new graduates and reflects our own experiences when we were in your position. Our aim is to make your transition from academic life to clinical practice as smooth as possible. We want to help you build the skills, gain the experience, and develop the confidence needed to thrive in your career and find fulfilment in the impact you make each day.

As a future Ninja, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients and communication, to help you discover your strengths. You’ll be supported by Anja, a Speech Pathologist with over 15 years of experience. We believe that hands-on experience, paired with the right guidance, is the key to becoming a well-rounded and effective therapist.

This role is based in Brisbane, or, if you live outside Brisbane, you can work fully remotely via telehealth.

We’re committed to providing an environment where you can grow, learn, and ultimately, make a difference. We look forward to possibly welcoming you into our team and helping you embark on a rewarding and impactful career in speech pathology.
