Your role will span comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment, diagnostic clarification, risk formulation and care planning, alongside the delivery of evidence‑based individual, group and family interventions. You will bring sophisticated formulation skills across neurodevelopmental, cognitive and functional domains, contributing to integrated, trauma‑informed and youth‑focused care within a short‑term intervention model.
As a senior clinician, you will work with a high degree of autonomy while providing clinical leadership, supervision and service development to Headspace and Child and Youth Mental Health staff within a collaborative interdisciplinary team. You will sit alongside clinicians from the Early Psychosis Intervention program and report to the Youth Mental Health Clinical Lead, playing a key role in shaping high‑quality psychological care across the service.
