Holistic Speech Pathologist

Are you a passionate and enthusiastic, early career (2+years) speech pathologist who feels stuck in a role that lacks support, creativity, or purpose? Maybe you’re feeling burnt out, like you’re just another cog in the wheel, or you’re craving a workplace that truly values you.

If you’re looking for a fresh start where you can make a real impact, feel supported, and actually enjoy your work, then it’s time to come play with us! With direct mentorship from Holly, Director and Principal Speech Pathologist, who has 15 years of experience and the privilege of practicing in Australia, England, the Middle East, and Africa as a holistic and transdiciplinary therapist.

At Playful Paediatrics, we do things differently—our team is empowered, motivated, and inspired to create meaningful change for children and their families. Therapy should be flexible, functional, and fun, and we’re looking for like-minded clinicians to join our thriving, collaborative team.

✨ Who We Are ✨

We’re all about helping children thrive through engaging, child-led therapy that actually makes a difference. Our multidisciplinary clinic fosters a collaborative space where therapists (OTs, Psychs and Speechies) can expand their skills and work closely with families, schools, and other professionals.

We take a holistic approach, ensuring that therapy is embedded into everyday life—at home, at school, and in the community. And did we mention our huge backyard area with swings, sandpit, mud kitchen, weaving wall and art space? It’s the perfect space for movement, creativity, and play! Don't know what a weaving wall is?! Come have a look and get creative!
