About the Role:

Are you passionate about supporting young people experiencing mental health challenges and committed to delivering recovery-oriented care? We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Mental Health Clinician to join our Specialist Youth Mental Health Outreach (SYMHO) team.

In this challenging and rewarding role, you will work under the limited direction of the SYMHO Team Manager to provide assertive engagement, comprehensive assessment, therapeutic intervention, and clinical management for young people at high risk of developing serious and enduring mental illness. Working within a recovery-focused framework, you will support young people and their families through evidence-based interventions that promote wellbeing, resilience, and positive recovery outcomes.

As a senior member of the multidisciplinary team, you will manage a clinical caseload while providing leadership, guidance, consultation, and support to colleagues and key stakeholders. You will work collaboratively with young people, families, carers, health professionals, and community service providers to develop and implement coordinated responses that address complex mental health needs. The role also requires a strong commitment to maintaining high-quality clinical records, including timely risk assessments, case notes, care plans, and outcome measures.

The successful applicant will be an experienced clinician with strong assessment, therapeutic, and case management skills, complemented by the ability to build effective partnerships across health and community services. You will demonstrate sound clinical judgement, excellent communication skills, and the ability to remain calm and effective while responding to competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. A commitment to achieving positive outcomes for young people and their families, together with an understanding of the Mental Health Act and other relevant legislation, is essential.

This role provides the opportunity to further develop your clinical expertise and leadership skills while working alongside experienced professionals in a dynamic and innovative service. You will enjoy meaningful and rewarding work that makes a genuine difference in the lives of young people, families, and carers, while contributing to a service that values excellence, innovation, compassion, and professional growth.

Undergo a pre-employment National Police Check.
Current registration issued under the Working with Vulnerable People (Background Checking) Act 2011 is required.
Comply with Canberra Health Services Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination policy.
Comply with CHS credentialing and scope of clinical practice requirements for allied health professionals.

Note: This is a full-time permanent position. This role will be filled at either a Health Professional Level 3 or Psychologist Level 3 depending on qualifications and experience, in line with the Enterprise Agreement.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Canberra Health Services (CHS) is focussed on the delivery of high quality, effective, person centred care. It provides acute, sub-acute, primary and community‐based health services, to the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and surrounding region. More information can be found on the CHS website.

Our Vision: creating exceptional health care together
Our Role: to be a health service that is trusted by our community
Our Values: Reliable, Progressive, Respectful and Kind
