Beanies Family Support is building a team of Speech Pathologists who can deliver therapy through a flexible hybrid model, combining Telehealth, in-clinic services, and support from our in-person Allied Health Assistants.
A recognised qualification in Speech Pathology and relevant professional registration or eligibility for membership with Speech Pathology Australia is required for this position.
Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents.
This role can be shaped around the right person. For some clinicians, this may be a primarily remote Telehealth role, supported by our in-person Allied Health Assistants. For others, there may be opportunities to provide therapy in clinic, in the community, or through a mix of both online and face-to-face service delivery.
Our hybrid model allows you to focus on clinical reasoning, assessment, communication development and therapy planning, while our local team supports participants in real-world environments such as the clinic, home, school and community.
The successful candidate will work with participants across a range of ages, communication needs and everyday settings.
We are looking for creative and forward-thinking clinicians who enjoy designing practical, engaging therapy strategies that can be delivered through a screen, supported in person by an Allied Health Assistant, or carried out directly in clinic.
A key part of this role is working closely with our Allied Health Assistants — teaching, guiding and supporting them to implement your therapy plans effectively between sessions.
This may include creating clear session plans, providing feedback, reviewing progress, and helping AHAs understand how to support communication goals in a practical and consistent way.
At Beanies, you will be part of a close-knit, family-oriented team supporting a rural community with limited access to services. Whether you are working remotely, visiting our clinic, or delivering a mix of both, you will have consistent support from directors, admin staff and AHAs so you feel connected, supported and part of the team.
New graduates are welcome to apply.
About the role
As a Hybrid Speech Pathologist, you may:
* Deliver engaging Telehealth speech therapy sessions with an AHA supporting the participant in person.
* Provide in-clinic speech therapy sessions at Beanies, depending on your location, availability and role structure.
* Complete assessments, review progress and adjust therapy goals as needed.
* Develop clear, practical therapy plans and session strategies that can be carried out by AHAs between sessions.
* Provide guidance, feedback and support to AHAs so therapy strategies are implemented effectively and consistently.
* Work with participants across home, clinic, school and community settings through the support of our local team.
* Complete high-quality clinical notes, therapy plans and reports.
* Communicate clearly with families, AHAs, directors and the wider support team.
* Contribute to a warm, practical and collaborative therapy model that helps families carry strategies into everyday life.
Working model
This role may include a mix of:
* Remote Telehealth therapy.
* In-clinic therapy at Beanies.
* AHA-supported Telehealth sessions.
* Periodic in-person visits to Tasmania.
* Review-based sessions where you provide clinical oversight while AHAs deliver more frequent support based on your plans.
* Session frequency varies depending on the participant and may be weekly, fortnightly, monthly or review-based.
* Some participants may work with you directly, while others may receive more regular support from an AHA under your clinical guidance.
* You will be expected to create clear, structured session plans to support this model.
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who has:

* Strong written communication skills.
* Excellent organisation and time management.
* The ability to explain therapy strategies clearly to support staff.
* A collaborative and flexible approach.

About Beanies Family Support
Beanies Family Support is based in the Huon Valley, Tasmania.
We support children, young people and families through Allied Health, Support Work, Key Worker support, youth programs and community-based services.
Our Allied Health model has been built around the reality of regional access. Families in our area often face long waitlists, travel barriers and disconnected support. Our hybrid model brings together Speech Pathologists, in-person Allied Health Assistants and a local team who know the families and community well.
Some therapy may happen through Telehealth. Some may happen in clinic. Some may happen through AHA-supported programs in homes, schools and community settings. The aim is not to force one model, but to build the right support around each participant.
We are practical, warm, creative and deeply connected to the families we support.
