Speech Language Pathologist

We're Hiring: Speech Pathologist (Casual) | Wonder Kidz

North Melbourne, VIC

Casual Position (with opportunity for ongoing employment)

Neuroaffirming | Child-Led | Community-Based | Flexible

At Wonder Kidz, we believe communication is more than words—it's connection, belonging, self-expression, and being understood.

We're looking for a passionate Speech Pathologist who values a child-led, strengths-based, collaborative, and naturalistic approach to supporting neurodiverse children and young people. This is an opportunity to deliver meaningful therapy in real-life environments where communication naturally happens—at home, in the community, during social programs, and through authentic relationships.

Who We Are

Wonder Kidz is a community where children are celebrated for who they are, not whom they are expected to be.

Being – Supporting children to be authentically themselves.

Belonging – Creating safe, inclusive spaces where children feel accepted and connected.

Becoming – Empowering children to build confidence, independence, communication, and meaningful life skills at their own pace.

Through social programs, camps, community access, and therapeutic supports, we help children and young people thrive in environments that feel safe, joyful, and empowering.

What Makes This Role Different?

At Wonder Kidz, communication goals aren't confined to a therapy room.

You might be:

• Supporting a child to advocate for themselves during a community outing
• Building social communication skills through real friendships and group experiences
• Helping children develop confidence using AAC in meaningful everyday situations
• Coaching families, educators, and support teams to create communication-rich environments
• Designing innovative social communication programs that blend therapy with fun, connection, and participation
• Working alongside occupational therapists, support workers, families, and educators to create holistic outcomes for each child

We're Looking For Someone Who:

Is a qualified Speech Pathologist with SPA membership or eligibility

Has experience supporting neurodiverse children and young people

Embraces neuroaffirming and strengths-based practice

Has experience or interest in AAC, social communication, and functional communication supports

Values collaboration with families and multidisciplinary teams

Enjoys thinking creatively and working beyond traditional therapy settings

Is available for weekend work and community-based supports

What We Offer

Opportunity to help shape and grow our new speech pathology services

A supportive, values-driven and collaborative team culture

Regular supervision and professional development opportunities

Flexible work across clinic, home, school, and community environments

The chance to create genuine impact in the lives of children and families

A workplace where connection, belonging, creativity, and child-led practice are celebrated every day

Why Join Wonder Kidz?

We're not looking for someone to deliver therapy.

We're looking for someone who believes that every child deserves to be heard, understood, accepted, and empowered to communicate in their own way.

If you're passionate about helping children Be, Belong, and Become, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply by sending your CV and cover letter to ***email_hidden***

Join us in creating a world where communication leads to confidence, connection, and belonging.
