City of Greater Geelong, Australia State of Victoria Full time
Forensic Clinician, Barwon South West team
  • Location: South West - Victoria
  • Job Function: Prison and Corrective Services
  • Work Type: Ongoing - full time
About this role

Join the team that shapes forensic intervention in Victoria and do career defining work.

  • Join our growing Barwon SW team and help reduce re-offending.
  • Do career-defining work with marginalised groups.
  • Contribute to clinical best practice at our new state-of-the-art facility.
  • Enjoy world-class training and wellbeing support.
  • Flexible opportunities available.

If you're looking to challenge yourself, be part of a supportive multidisciplinary team and build your clinical reputation, you'll love the work at Forensic Intervention Services (FIS).

We are a specialist program area of Corrections Victoria that provides people in custody and in the community with offence-specific, evidence-based screening, assessment and intervention services to support their rehabilitation. We hold portfolios and expertise in critical areas such as Violent and Sexual offending, Violent Extremism, Restorative Justice, Family Violence and people with cognitive impairment.

We're seeking experienced professionals in psychology, social work, mental health nursing or occupational therapy to join our growing team of forensic clinicians based in Lara. Forensic clinical experience is desirable but not essential.

As part of our Barwon SW team, you'll treat complex cases across a precinct of four mixed-security prisons, including the brand-new Western Plains prison set to open in mid-2025.

Whether you're looking to expand your expertise, enjoy a more dynamic role or leave a lasting impact in a progressive field, this is career defining work with marginalised groups you won't get access to anywhere else. Flexible opportunities including part-time are available.

How we'll support and reward you

Our work can be demanding so we offer first-rate training and support.

  • A specialised induction program for new clinical staff (including foundation, theory, and mentored on-the-job training).
  • Exposure to national and international experts in forensic work.
  • Mental health and wellbeing care - essential debriefing for the first 12 months for new forensic practitioners.
  • Supervision by senior clinical staff with support on a day-to-day basis.
  • Ongoing professional development including clinical scholarship, research program and study leave opportunities.
  • Annual Leadership Forum and Conference for technical and professional development.
  • Registration or professional association membership funded annually (e.g. PBA/AHPRA, AASW)
  • Relocation allowances for eligible candidates.

What you'll do

As a forensic clinician, you will build on your existing expertise as part of a multidisciplinary team, delivering evidence based, best-practice forensic intervention in a supportive correctional environment.

Working within the Risk-Needs-Responsivity model, you'll deliver a wide range of individualised services including:

  • Comprehensive assessments including risk assessments.
  • Clinical interviews to develop person centred rehabilitation pathways.
  • Treatment interventions employing evidence-based assessment tools.
  • Treatment programs involving individual and group sessions.
  • Preparing treatment plans, treatment reports, and risk assessment reports for internal and external stakeholders.

To apply, you'll need to hold, or be eligible for, one of the following:

  • General registration as a Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA).
  • Eligibility for membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
  • Credentialed as a Mental Health Nurse with the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses.
  • Registered as an Occupational Therapist with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia.

Successful candidates will be required to undergo pre-employment checks which may include national police checks and misconduct screening.

Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply.
