**We are looking for a Psychologist to join our team to deliver low intensity mental health and psychosocial interventions to promote the wellbeing of elderly residents. This full-time position can be based either at our Toowoomba or Ipswich office and includes travel across the region - this could be up to three days per week - but there is flexibility to structure your own working week. This is a stand-alone Psychologist position, working closely with four Group Facilitators.

**Your skills and attributes will include**:

- Providing assessment to evaluate mental health status and cognitive function
- Knowledge of evidence-based intervention and establishing outcome measures
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills and ability to address various audiences including residents, staff, and caregivers
- A genuine interest in increasing mental health literacy in the older population
- Being flexible and able to re-evaluate your priorities of the day - you’ll be a self-managing self-starter who loves a varying routine
- Having a positive attitude to change - the program is still under development, and we are constantly making adjustments and improvements
- Being a team player - you’ll be part of a small multidisciplinary team who collaborate, share ideas, and support each other Strong communication and interpersonal skills - you’ll need to be comfortable working with residents who have memory loss and other cognitive impairments

You’ll also hold a relevant qualification in psychology, be AHPRA registered or other appropriately qualified allied mental health professional such as accredited mental health occupational therapist, accredited mental health social worker, or mental health nurse, and have a current Australian Driver’s licence.

But most important to us is that you share our values - you’ll love working with talented people who are humble, human, and full of hope. We’re dedicated to helping others, no matter how difficult or complex the challenge - and we walk our talk.

“Lives Lived Well has high expectations. The reason why we’re all here is because we meet these expectations, and our values are aligned”. (LLW employee)
