About the Role:

Western Health’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Service is recruiting a Community Mental Health Intake clinician role.

The intake clinician delivers recovery-oriented assessment, screening and brief intervention, reviews and monitors referrals, provides face to face assessment for walk ins, and liaises with external providers to ensure people are linked to the most appropriate service in a timely way. Intake is a fast-paced and dynamic function so clinicians require strong organisational skills and the ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities.

The role involves both clinical and administrative components and requires clinicians to meet key performance indicators (KPIs) consistent with tertiary mental health services. The duty function sits within the intake team, and intake clinicians are required to cover duty responsibilities during periods of unplanned leave.

Essential

You are a motivated and adaptable mental health clinician who is confident working in a fast-paced intake environment where priorities can shift quickly. You communicate clearly, think critically under pressure and bring a calm, recovery-focused approach to engaging consumers at their first point of contact with the service.

You enjoy being part of a supportive multidisciplinary team while maintaining autonomy in your clinical decision making. You value reflective practice, are open to feedback and bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to care.

Minimum 2 years’ experience providing mental health clinical services in a high-demand environment, ideally within community mental health or an intake/triage setting.

Experience working with diverse consumer groups and a range of mental health presentations.
Knowledge of evidence-based assessment and intervention models for high and low prevalence mental illnesses.
Understanding of the Recovery Framework and the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022, including its application to everyday practice.
Demonstrated ability to build rapport, engage consumers and carers, and facilitate appropriate referrals or care pathways.
Strong documentation and communication skills, with the ability to summarise clinical information clearly and concisely.
