**Your New Role**:
Our Stepped Care Counsellor works within our LIFT and Head to Health Stepped Care Mental Health programs with clients across the lifespan towards their goals in a client centered, recovery focused, flexible and holistic manner. The Stepped Care team includes mental health nurses, counsellors, care coordinators and peer support workers. Treatment is provided both one on one and in group format. As well as working with scheduled clients, clinicians offer flexibility to respond to clients with urgent needs, working closely with other health professionals and care team members, both internal and external. Counsellors will be responsible for assessing clients and delivering focused psychological strategies and therapies using evidence-based therapeutic modalities (e.g. CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, DBT), appropriate referral, working within a defined scope of practice and the program service delivery model. The role sits in a multidisciplinary team comprised of counsellors, mental health nurses, non-clinical care coordinators and peer support workers, within a broader community health counselling team. Services may be delivered at Banyule Community Health service locations, the client's home, and/or other community settings.

You will be responsible for delivering evidence-based, person-centred counselling to individuals, groups, and families across a range of mental health needs. This includes conducting intake assessments and risk assessments, developing tailored treatment plans, and providing therapeutic interventions.

Accurate and timely documentation, along with maintaining high standards of record-keeping, will be essential to the role.
**What You'll Need to Succeed**:
To succeed in this role, you will need relevant tertiary qualifications in Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, or Counselling, along with eligibility for registration with the appropriate professional body (e.g. AHPRA, AASW, PACFA). You will bring significant experience in delivering mental health counselling across diverse populations, and demonstrate strong skills in clinical assessment, therapeutic interventions (e.g. CBT, ACT, DBT), and managing complex presentations such as trauma, addiction, and dual diagnosis. The ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team, build strong therapeutic alliances, and maintain high standards of ethical and professional practice is essential. Strong interpersonal and communication skills, cultural responsiveness, and a commitment to continuous quality improvement will also be key to your success.
