**About the role**

**_This is a full-time opportunity working 76 hours/ fortnight and will be located at headspace in Penrith_**

As a Clinician in the Continuing Care team, you will provide holistic and wrap-around support to young people who have experienced their first episode of psychosis.

- Maintain accurate records and complete administrative tasks using the "Master Care" EMR system.
- Participate in weekly clinical review meetings, monthly business meetings, and bi-monthly whole-team gatherings.
- Engage in regular clinical supervision opportunities, including both in group settings and through direct supervision with the Senior staff.
