You will be supported by psychosocial members of the oncology and haematology team, including child life therapists and social workers. The psychology team are a supportive group and there is is opportunity for supervision from a range of psychologists who have extensive experience working within the Children, Young People and Families service. You will have access to individual and group supervision, as well as extensive professional developmental opportunities through the Health Education and Training Institute. You will have access to the state health collective of psychologists working with clients who have cancer.

You will have the opportunity to work within our skilled multi-disciplinary team, collaborating with other highly skilled medical staff and allied health clinicians. You will work alongside colleagues from Social Work and Child Life Therapy.
About You
Our ideal candidate will enjoy working within a team environment. You will enjoy working with young people across the age span from toddlers and their caregivers to adolescents. You will need to be able to discern the best timing for psychological intervention during an extended and at times intensive treatment protocol for serious illness.
