Leadership Development: Growing Future Leaders at Access to Therapy

At Access to Therapy, we don’t just fill speech pathology and occupational therapy jobs — we grow leaders. Whether you’re early in your clinical journey or already stepping into senior responsibilities, we offer opportunities to lead with confidence, clarity, and support.

🧭 Leadership at Every Level

Leadership isn’t about a title. It’s about initiative, influence, and integrity — and we believe all clinicians can lead in different ways.

At Access to Therapy, this might look like:

  • Leading case discussions or clinical streams

  • Mentoring a speech therapy assistant or early childhood educator

  • Taking ownership of projects that improve team systems or client experience

  • Contributing to R&D in areas like early literacy and speech tech

Whether you’re part-time, returning to work, or just starting out, we’ll help you find your unique leadership voice.

📈 Pathways for Growth

We’ve built internal structures that create space for leadership — not just workload. This includes:

  • Dedicated time for leadership development activities

  • Coaching and feedback from the Director and senior team

  • Support to shape your own role over time

  • Opportunities to co-design future models of care with us

Many of our leaders — including team members like Victoria Sandham and Alexis Taylor — started in clinical roles and stepped into leadership organically. We’ve designed the scaffolding so others can do the same.

💬 Reflective Practice as a Foundation

Leadership at Access to Therapy starts with self-awareness. We embed reflection into our rhythm, with regular:

  • Supervision sessions that explore both clinical and leadership skills

  • Team huddles and debriefs

  • Check-ins around wellbeing, not just performance

We know that sustainable leadership grows in environments that feel safe, collaborative, and honest.

💡 Shaping the Future of Therapy

As a growing service, we don’t just offer leadership within the current system — we give you a chance to co-create what comes next.

This could include:

  • Piloting new models of care across the Ipswich region

  • Creating frameworks for new graduate support

  • Leading partnerships with early childhood providers

  • Building scalable systems that support families faster

Leadership here isn’t about ego — it’s about service. We’re looking for speech pathologists and occupational therapists who want to help lead the next evolution of care.

If you’re seeking a speech pathology job or occupational therapy job that offers more than just clinical work — if you want to lead, teach, and shape the future — Access to Therapy is ready for you.
