How We Make an Impact
Recovery Station provides community and clinic based allied health services, with a strong focus on disability and senior health. For 20 years we have consistently grown and now proudly offer services nationally via telepractice and in the community across Sydney, the Hunter, Central Coast, Illawarra and Melbourne.
Together, our passionate, multidisciplinary team of OTs, Mental Health OT’s, Psychologists, Speech Pathologists, Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Dietitians and Allied Health Assistants collaboratively share their knowledge and experience to holistically design an individualised service to help improve the quality of life for people living with a disability or looking to age as independently as possible.
The Opportunity
We currently have one fantastic Psychologist on our team and we are looking to continue to grow Psychology as a service. We'd therefore love a senior clinician to join us who would enjoy balancing their own a caseload whilst slowly building up a team. You will be well supported by our Clinicial Manager who has been with us since 2011, our Head of Mental Health plus our various Department Heads and the broader mental health team.
Depending where you're living, we'll tailor your caseload to service clients close to home to minimise your travel. Our team balance working from their closest office with working from home and we can structure the role as either a part-time or full- time. We like to be flexible to find what will work the best for you, your family and life outside of work.
This role can be based from our Toronto clinic and service clients around Newcastle/Hunter. We also have locations available in the Central Coast and Sydney.
The Role
Day to day you will provide a comprehensive range of mental health services for individuals in the community. The clinical skills you may bring to the role will work in achieving an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by the individual needs of each person.
You will achieve this by working with them to identify barriers to optimal functioning through interventions that focus on enhancing existing skills, creating opportunities, promoting wellness, remediating or restoring skills, modifying or adapting the environment or activity, and preventing relapse.
This role will provide trauma informed, person-centred, evidence-based interventions and support for people in our community experiencing moderate to severe mental health presentations including: acute and chronic psychotic disorders; schizophrenia; bipolar; generalised anxiety; depression; PTSD; alcohol and drug use disorders; mixed anxiety and depression; dissociative (conversion) disorder; sleep problems and OCD.
With our training and support you will become competent in writing comprehensive reports based on your advanced clinical understanding, conducting various clinical assessments and implementing appropriate interventions to address prioritised needs. You will also ideally possess experience in conducting functional behavioural assessments, gathering behaviour data, and developing positive behavioural support plans (with and without the use of restrictive practice) for people with disability.
Qualifications
- Possess a Behaviour Support Practitioner number with the NDIS Quality and Safeguarding Commission or be an AHPRA registered Psychologist
