Practice Manager/health Business Manager

**Practice Manager (or Senior Receptionist/Administration Team Leader)**

Are you looking for a new job opportunity (perhaps in an entirely different field from your current one) in which you work with wonderful colleagues, experience challenge in your tasks, have excellent work-life balance and derive a sense of purpose from your work?

If so, our **Senior Receptionist/Administration Team Leader **role might be the right fit for you. We need a quick thinking, friendly and empathic professional to lead our team of 5 part time receptionists. This role will also involve the calendar management for our 23 part time child/adolescent psychologists and other administrative co-ordination.

Alternatively, you may be more suitable for this to be the **Practice Manager **role here - with all of the above still required in addition to higher level and more strategic tasks. There is scope for for you job title, pay rate and role responsibilities to be adjusted - depending on your prior experience and what you are interested in (see more below).

**About us**
Over the last 25 years, Developing Minds has been providing psychological therapy services to around 200 children and teenagers per week in our Aberfoyle Park and Wayville clinics, as well as provide speaking/training, supervision, group and online services to families around Australia. We are a group of caring and committed professionals who genuinely like each other, laugh often and care deeply about the families we work with. We were awarded first place in the Australian Allied Health “Paediatric Private Practice” Excellence awards, have very high staff retention rates, and have achieved National Mental Health Services Standards accreditation.

We have extensive and detailed policies and procedures, our clinical executive team provide teaching and supervision to other psychologists both in Australia and internationally and we strongly value inclusiveness, equity and kindness. Of course, there are still things that go wrong here - all of us make mistakes and we often have tricky situations to manage - but we try to learn and grow together every day (coffee helps).
