About Us

Community Solutions Group makes a difference in people's lives - supporting them to achieve their goals and working with them on their pathway to possibilities. We deliver a broad range of services focused on the wellbeing and independence of individuals, families and communities across Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.

The Role

As a Psychologist, you will play a pivotal role in delivering clinical consultations and therapeutic support to clients facing employment barriers. You will identify causal factors behind these barriers and collaborate with employment services to help job seekers become job-ready through tailored interventions and sustain their employment through post-placement support.

• Manageable Workload – The support of an administrative team and dedicate practice manager allow clinical staff to focus on psychology services free of an administrative burden. 
• Professional Development – We are committed to the growth and development of our psychologists, providing generous opportunities for professional development and paid supervision. 
• Meaningful Work – Our not-for-profit status is underpinned by a commitment to community and client care. This translates into a supportive and meaningful workplace culture, where the focus is on impactful engagement.
• Holistic Approach – Our aim is to support clients to feel more confident and positive about being employed and ultimately to gain and keep employment. 
• Short-Term, Goal-Oriented Client Engagement - We work in a brief intervention model with all clients on our caseload having a limited number of funded consultation hours. Our work is very solutions-focussed.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct initial assessments to determine barriers to employment and design effective strategies for supporting clients to become job-ready. 
• Collaborate with employment services providers to implement psychological interventions based on individual needs. 
• Provide detailed feedback and reporting to ensure clients receive comprehensive support. 
• Develop and maintain positive relationships with clients, service providers, and other stakeholders. 
• Share professional insights to enhance stakeholder support systems. 
• Participate actively in team discussions and continuous improvement initiatives 
• Uphold workplace health and safety standards and report any concerns. 
• Recognise when a client would benefit from an alternative pathway, and provide support accordingly, such as completing ESats. 

What You'll Need to Succeed: 

• High-level knowledge and experience in evidence-based psychological practices. 
• Proven ability to conduct short-term interventions for clients with employment barriers. 
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and interpersonal skills. 
• Excellent organisational skills and ability to work both independently and within a multidisciplinary team. 
• Tertiary qualifications in Psychology and AHPRA membership (Provisional or Registered Psychologist). 
• Working with Children clearance and a current driver's license.
