Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of patients while growing your clinical skills in a leading hospital?
The Prince Charles Hospital (TPCH) is looking for a passionate and motivated Speech Pathologist to join their dynamic team, with a strong focus on dysphagia management, a condition that makes it difficult to swallow.
Hayley has been delivering care for patients with dysphagia over the past 12 years at TPCH and shared the importance of treating the condition.
"Dysphagia affects up to 22% of adults over 50 and is common across various patient populations - from respiratory conditions to post surgical recovery," she says.
"At our hospital, you'll work alongside experienced clinicians who are committed to innovation, collaboration and continuous learning."
If you’re a Speech Pathologist and want to join the team, apply before 4 July.

Looking good young lady
June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, where we shine a spotlight on the leading cause of cancer death among Australians ages 25 to 44 years old.
Jen is a Clinical Nurse in Endoscopy at TPCH and has some sobering statistics for younger Australians.
"Data from Bowel Cancer Australia reveals that one in nine Australians diagnosed with bowel cancer are under the age of 50," Jen said.
"It's important that people of all ages look out for symptoms, which can include blood in bowel movements, abdominal pain and unexplained weight loss. If something doesn't seem right - make an appointment with your GP"
For those over 50, Jen encourages everyone to participate in the free National Bowel Screening Program.
"Don't throw away that pack you receive in the mail. It's a simple process that saves lives, and it's not as 'icky' as people think," Jen said.
When bowel cancer is detected early, the prognosis is good, with 99 per cent of such cases able to be treated.
