Listed By : Department of Justice and Community Safety - Victoria, on 1 Apr 2025
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 Extremism, Restorative Justice and Family Violence.
We're seeking experienced professionals in psychology to join our team of forensic clinicians. Forensic clinical experience is desirable but not essential.
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 in metro Melbourne, our growing south west team and regional locations.
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.
Travel to correctional facilities is a required part of the role so you will need to possess a current driver's licence.
To apply, you'll need to hold, or be eligible for, general registration as a Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA).
Successful candidates will be required to undergo pre-employment checks which may include national police checks and misconduct screening.
