You’ll love working with talented people who share our values. Our services and treatments are as diverse as the communities we work in. We’ve grown signi?cantly in the past few years, with no plans of slowing down.
So, what does that mean for you? A real opportunity to go further
- You’ll grow as a person and as a professional, extending your knowledge and skills beyond the norm.
- You’ll be trusted with autonomy in a supportive, respectful environment.
- You’ll make a lasting impact - on clients, the community and an organisation that cares as much as you.
But it’s more than that.
You’ll join a curious organisation that thinks differently and seeks new ways. We look to the evidence. We explore new ideas. When we reach “better”, we ask, “What’s next?” Which means you’ll need to be comfortable with change - you’ll enjoy variety, the agility, and the opportunity to achieve more, faster.
While you support others, we’ll support you with some great bene?ts, including:
- An extra five paid leave days per year to support your wellbeing and work-life balance.
- Salary packaging to increase your take-home pay
- Paid parental leave of 8 weeks.
- Regular clinical supervision, case conferencing and debrie?ngs.
