Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia Scout Talent Full time
Looking for a mental health role where you don't carry the load alone?

  • Clinical Lead: $105, Super  | Senior Clinician: $95, $98, Super

Who We Are & Why We're Different

headspace Darwin, led by Anglicare NT, is a youth-focused, early intervention mental health service supporting young people aged 12–25. Our services operate across Casuarina and Palmerston, delivering multidisciplinary care that includes:

  • Clinical services
  • Peer support
  • Social and emotional well-being programs
  • Psychiatry
  • Family-inclusive practice

If you're tired of carrying risk alone… this is different. Collaboration isn't optional. Clinical decisions are shared, supervision is embedded, and reflective practice is protected time — not something you squeeze in after hours. We are committed to delivering culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. Our staff are supported through strong clinical supervision, peer reflection, and extensive professional development opportunities. We foster a workplace culture that prioritises wellbeing, collaboration, and professional growth.

Two Great Roles. One Shared Mission to Improve Youth Mental Health

We are recruiting for two key roles to support our headspace Darwin programs:

  • Clinical Lead
  • Senior Clinician

Both positions offer the opportunity to work closely with multidisciplinary teams, deliver evidence-based interventions, and help shape services that make a meaningful difference for young people and their families.

These roles matter because young people don't arrive at headspace at their best — they arrive when things are hard.

Your role is to ensure they feel safe, understood, and supported — while knowing you are equally supported by your team.

Clinical Lead

Location: Darwin (Casuarina or Palmerston)

Employment type: 1 x Permanent, 1 x Short-term Contract

Program: Primary

Reports to: Centre Manager

Salary: $105, HPSS superannuation

As the Clinical Lead, you will provide strong clinical leadership and supervision while supporting high-quality service delivery. You'll play a key role in guiding teams, maintaining best-practice care, and contributing to the ongoing development of services.

About you:You hold a tertiary qualification in Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, or Mental Health Nursing and are eligible for AHPRA or AASW registration. You bring a minimum of five years' experience in a relevant field, with demonstrated leadership or supervision experience.

Senior Clinician

Location: Darwin (Casuarina)

Employment type: Permanent

Program: Early Psychosis

Reports to: Program Manager

Salary: $95,272.85 – $98, HPSS 3.4–3.5) + superannuation

As a Senior Clinician, you will deliver high-quality clinical care to young people experiencing early psychosis, working as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team. You'll contribute to assessment, intervention, and recovery-focused care in a dynamic and rewarding environment.

About you:You hold a tertiary qualification in Psychology, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, or Mental Health Nursing and are eligible for AHPRA or AASW registration. You have a minimum of two years' experience in youth or mental health settings, with early psychosis experience highly regarded.

All applicants must hold relevant professional registration, Australian work rights, Driver's Licence and meet NT compliance requirements (Ochre Card and Police Check).

NZ applicants must already hold, or be eligible for, relevant Australian professional registration.

Why These Roles Matter

Clinical Lead roles will be allocated to either the Primary program, depending on service needs and applicant expertise.

As a Clinical Lead, you will:

  • Provide clinical oversight and leadership across the Primary team - Four key streams including mental health, physical and sexual health, alcohol and other drugs (AOD).
  • Deliver clinical assessment and therapeutic interventions alongside leadership responsibilities
  • Guide, mentor, and support staff in evidence-based practice
  • Contribute to program development, supervision, and service quality
  • Hold accountability for clinical quality, supervision, service coordination, and continuous improvement across program

As a Senior Clinician, you will:

  • Deliver risk assessments and evidence-based therapeutic support, including outreach where required
  • Work with young people at risk of or experiencing early psychosis
  • Support collaborative, family-inclusive, and culturally safe care
  • Contribute to a multidisciplinary, outcome-focused team environment
  • Supporting other clinicians through consultation, shared decision-making, and clinical guidance — with strong backing from the Primary Manager.

Whether you're leading or delivering care, your contribution will shape better mental health outcomes across the Top End.

You Know Mental Health. We Know You Belong Here

You'll thrive here if you value:

  • Shared decision-making over working in isolation
  • Reflective practice over rigid hierarchy
  • Cultural humility over "having all the answers"
  • Accountability that's supportive, not punitive

For the Clinical Lead:

  • You're a skilled clinician and natural mentor who thrives in a leadership role
  • You believe in collaborative, strengths-based approaches and want to help others grow

For the Senior Clinician:

  • You're passionate about youth mental health and ready for the next step in your clinical journey
  • You value teamwork, cultural safety, and supporting early intervention in complex presentations

In both roles, your ability to listen deeply, reflect openly, and walk alongside young people and families will set you apart.

Why These Roles Will Reward You
  • Competitive salaries aligned with HPSS levels
  • NT PHN relocation grant (~$3,500)
  • Additional relocation/retention incentives (negotiable)
  • Travel support between Casuarina & Palmerston (fleet vehicles)
  • Accommodation and expenses covered for work in Katherine if required
  • Ongoing professional development that actually fits into your workload (CBT, DBT, Single Session, Family Inclusive Practice)
  • Protected supervision and reflective spaces — because good clinicians shouldn't work in  isolation
  • Supportive onboarding and employee wellbeing programs (including EAP)
