Are you a Senior Speech Pathologist passionate about mealtimes and dysphagia? This is an opportunity to influence practice beyond your own caseload.

Superyou Therapy is seeking an experienced Senior Speech Pathologist to step into a Clinical Lead – Mealtimes & Dysphagia role, providing subject‑matter leadership across our multidisciplinary NDIS service.

This role is ideal for a senior clinician who:

• Is highly skilled in paediatric or adult dysphagia and mealtime supports.
• Enjoys coaching, mentoring and elevating clinical practice.
• Wants leadership responsibility without stepping away from clinical work. This role is a mixture of Clinical Lead (0.4FTE) and Senior Speech Pathology (0.6FTE) so can be a full-time of part-time role. Please note, the Senior caseload will include clients without dysphagia and mealtime concerns.

About the Role

As the Clinical Lead – Mealtimes & Dysphagia, you will be the recognised expert guiding best practice, service development and workforce capability in this specialty area.

Service Development & Quality Improvement

• Lead service development initiatives, including literature reviews and resource creation.
