  • Delivery of high-level consultation, assessment, and intervention for the Head to Health service where social work is indicated for consumers who are triaged as having high-level needs that affect their mental, physical, or emotional wellbeing.
  • 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.
  • Opportunity to salary package up to $15,900 of tax-free income.
  • 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.

About You

We're looking for a professional, innovative, and caring clinician who thrives as part of a multi-disciplinary team, and enjoys working with a wide range of external stakeholders involved in providing health, mental health, and psychosocial services.

  • Tertiary qualifications in Social Worker from an accredited institution and membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
  • Experience in mental health services, delivering high-quality therapeutic interventions with a focus on solution-oriented approaches.
  • Skills in assessing, formulating, and providing evidence-based treatments for mental health disorders.
  • Competency in conducting risk assessments, crisis intervention planning, and implementing effective risk management strategies.
  • Knowledge of mental health systems, government policies, legislation, and professional standards.
  • Commitment to fostering inclusive cultures promoting human rights and diversity.
