Speech Pathologist – Finish at 1.30pm Every Friday

You became a speech pathologist because you wanted to help people. But in too many roles, the joy of helping people is overshadowed by unrealistic caseloads, late-night admin, and limited support.

That’s why this role has been designed to be both clinically rewarding and personally sustainable – with the time, resources, and culture you need to do your best work and enjoy your life outside of it.

🎥 Watch the video below to see what it’s like to work at Kids First and why our team loves what they do.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

At Kids First, balance isn’t just a buzzword – it’s part of how we work every day.
Your weekend will start early with Early Finish Fridays, and you’ll have daily blocked admin time so your notes are done before you head home.

You’ll have weekly one-to-one mentoring with our Speech Pathology Team Leader, plus weekly Hub Meetings and fortnightly case conferences where our speechies, psychologists, OTs, and teachers come together to share ideas and solve challenges.

We take connection seriously (and have fun doing it) – with regular off-site team days that build relationships and spark new thinking.

You’ll enjoy a generous personal PD budget to grow your skills in the areas you’re passionate about, strong admin support so you can focus on your clients, and a varied paediatric caseload that keeps your days interesting.

Above all, you’ll be part of a workplace built on Care, Kindness, Compassion, and Making a Contribution – values we live by, not just list on our website.

Why Kids First?

We’re a family-owned, award-winning clinic that’s been part of the Northern Beaches community for more than 18 years. In that time, we’ve supported over 35,000 children and their families – and built a reputation for the quality of our care and the kindness of our approach.

Our multidisciplinary team of speech pathologists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and teachers work closely together, sharing ideas and celebrating successes. We’re proud of our culture – it’s one where people look forward to coming to work, feel genuinely supported, and know they’re making a meaningful difference every day.
