  • Offer advanced brief therapeutic interventions to consumers, employing a diverse array of evidence-based methodologies such as psychoeducation, CBT, DBT, IPT, ACT, and SFT, tailored to address complex and broad-ranging presentations.
  • Advocate for mental health needs of consumers, provide client-centered care, provide clinical supervision, and support onsite student placements.
  • Uphold confidentiality, comply with legislative requirements, and actively participate in clinical reviews and team discussions.

Benefits

Besides shaping an innovative mental health service with dedicated staff and supportive leaders fostering a strong team culture, you'll enjoy competitive pay with annual incremental increases and a work environment that prioritises professional growth, skill-building, and staff well-being.

  • Joining a newly formed positive, inclusive, values-focussed team.

  • Access to an Employee Assistance Program.
  • Rewards program that offers discounts on hundreds of household brands.
  • Access to appropriate and supportive clinical supervision.
  • Competitive compensation to align with clinical skillset.
