Career Opportunities
About Us
LS Health Services is a multi-disciplinary practice with Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy and Allied Health Assistance in Jimboomba, just south of Brisbane. Our mission is to provide high quality services to families and individuals in an environment that suits their needs. We focus on servicing our local community, through strong relationships with schools, day-care centres, medical practices, and residential facilities. We pride ourselves on maintaining a warm and friendly atmosphere and achieving our clinical goals. We are looking to grow both our team and service offer to our existing and new clients. Positions are open to both experienced and new/early career clinicians.
Supportive Team Environment
​
At LS Health Services, we pride ourselves on fostering a work culture that seamlessly blends professionalism with genuine support. Joining our team isn't just about a job; it's about becoming an integral part of a close-knit community. With structured supports across new graduate years, regular meetings and a variety of opportunities to learn, you'll be setting yourself up for a meaningful career that empowers your growth.
Collaborative Dynamics
​
Enjoy the collaborative nature of our work culture. As a team member, you'll experience the benefits of working closely with our own group of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Allied Health Assistants. You will also have the opportunity to work within a larger network of visiting providers (our physiotherapist and play therapist) as well as other community supports including GPs, kindergartens and other allied health providers. Building connections in the community and working together is an important aspect of our team.
Whole-person focus & family centred
​
Be part of a team that understands the significance of family, and community connections, in the therapeutic process and for achieving long term success. We accept that each person is a sum of their parts, and that we need to consider all aspects of an individual, as well as the support network that surrounds them. You will have the opportunity to enhance your own case management and holistic goal setting skills as we encourage you to look at the broader picture, including family and informal supports as part of your treatment plan. You'll be able to grow with specific tools, opportunities to run joint therapy sessions and guidance through supervision.
Individualised Growth
​
Your professional journey matters to us. As part of the LS family, you'll be supported in understanding and articulating your individual needs and career aspirations. We are committed to assisting you in developing skills that align with your interests and helping you evolve into the best clinician you can be.
Flexibility in Practice
​
We understand that a fulfilling career is one that adapts to your needs. Negotiate your working hours, explore flexible arrangements and enjoy options like a 9-day fortnight, and RDO every month or flex time. Your work-life balance is not just acknowledged; it's actively encouraged.
You'll also have the opportunity to provide flexible support options to your clients, based on best practice guidelines, and not based on how an administrator chooses to book your calendar up. We focus on the needs of each client, so through supervision, you can develop individualised plans for clients that may include more than 1 session per week, group sessions, community visits or functional treatment options. Flexibility is also carried over to our service delivery.
