The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a multi-disciplinary allied health team and contribute to improving the learning and wellbeing outcomes for students across Catholic Education SA (CESA). The CESA Improved Learning through Allied Health (CILAH) program is an initiative that delivers allied health services by deploying allied health professionals (AHPs) from occupational therapy, psychology, and speech pathology into schools to work with education staff, students, and families.

Allied health professionals in the CILAH service focus on providing support most likely to assist in reducing the challenges students with disability face with learning, speech and language, behaviour and regulation, and social-emotional wellbeing.

As the Lead AHP (Speech Pathology) you have the opportunity to contribute to this exciting initiative by working alongside the Allied Health Manager to determine service delivery models, establish clinical governance frameworks, and develop key stakeholder engagement strategies.

The Lead AHP (Speech Pathology) position is one of three professional and clinical leads for the CILAH Service. As the Lead AHP (Speech Pathology) you will:

  • Provide clinical and professional guidance and support to a team of allied health practitioners.
  • Oversee and coordinate the professional relationship between the CILAH Service and the school leaders, teachers, and staff.
  • Ensure the CILAH Service is contributing to CESA goals and CILAH Key Performance Indicators.
  • Contribute to CILAH program capacity building initiatives to ensure sustainability.

The successful applicant will demonstrate the following:

  • Enthusiastic Leader: You are passionate about leading and mentoring a team of allied health professionals, fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.
  • Passion for Inclusive Education: You are dedicated to improving learning and wellbeing outcomes for students, particularly those with disabilities, and have a deep understanding of the challenges they face.
