Job Openings Specialist Consultant Speech Therapy
Skills shortage in assistive technology consulting – headhunting in the name of participation Date: October 7, 2025Our personnel consultants have taken on a new recruiting mandate with social impact: On behalf of a renowned medical technology company, the specialized headhunting agency is looking for professionals in the field of assisted communication (AC) – in particular speech therapists, occupational therapists, and special education teachers who are looking for meaningful professional development outside of traditional therapy.
A career change with impact – out of therapy, into participation
“More and more therapists are asking themselves: Where else can I put my knowledge to good use—beyond prescriptions, scheduling, and private practice? This is exactly where the new professional field comes in,” explains our managing director, Dipl.-Psych. Annette Feist.
We are looking for empathetic and technically skilled individuals who can advise, train, and assist people who are nonverbal or have severe speech impairments in their everyday lives. The job involves selecting and using technical communication aids—known as talkers or speech output devices—and is aimed at people with autism, Down syndrome, ALS, or those who have suffered a stroke.

The specialized company, which operates nationwide and has been developing technical UK solutions for over 30 years, is currently expanding its regional consulting team in Saarland. The position is permanent, full-time, and goes beyond a pure product focus: the focus is on the long-term improvement of communication options and thus the quality of life of those affected.
“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract, which is more than just a recruitment assignment. It involves finding the right people for a role that is technical, educational, and interpersonal at the same time—a real interdisciplinary skill set. This is precisely where we see our role as headhunters with a social mission and as a successful service provider in this industry,” emphasizes Managing Director Dipl.-Kfm. Ingo Scheider.
New career paths for therapists – with regular working hours and teamwork
In addition to its social relevance, this career field offers attractive conditions: structured training, modern digital tools, a company car for private use, additional benefits, and flexible working hours. It is ideal for professionals who want to move from a treatment practice to a multi-professional team with a flat hierarchy and development prospects.
