The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Justice Health NSW Safeguards Team within Adolescent Forensic Mental Health.
The Safeguards Team is a dynamic, highly skilled, multidisciplinary service providing assessment, intervention, and care coordination to young people aged 10–18 across New South Wales.
The service supports young people experiencing complex mental health needs who are involved with, or at risk of involvement in, the criminal justice system (CJS), as well as those presenting in crisis or at risk of disengagement from services due to the complexity of their needs. This complexity may include neurodevelopmental differences, itinerancy, substance use, and/or risk of harm to self or others.
In this role, you will deliver timely, responsive, community-based mental health assessment and intervention for young people experiencing significant mental health complexity. Working within a multidisciplinary framework and guided by evidence-based practice, you will apply your discipline-specific expertise to contribute to comprehensive biopsychosocial formulations, inform interventions, care planning, and deliver coordinated, person-centred care aimed at improving outcomes for vulnerable young people.
About You
If you’re looking for a part-time opportunity within a supportive multidisciplinary team, this could be the role for you. You’re an experienced mental health clinician with relevant qualifications and clinical experience aligned to a CNS2 / OT3 / SW3 level, including experience working with young people and/or consumers with complex mental health, psychosocial and forensic needs. You will be confident working collaboratively across health, justice and community services, building strong stakeholder relationships and advocating for young people to ensure safe, coordinated and person-centred outcomes.
