Description:
We're looking for a clinician to join Acorn Psychology - someone who values strong client relationships and being part of a team that supports each other to do good and meaningful work.
Acorn Psychology is a small practice with a clear sense of who we are and how we care. Located in a beautiful heritage precinct near Maling Road in Canterbury, we're surrounded by leafy streets, good coffee and a strong community.
Why Join Us?
We've built a workplace where clinicians are supported to think deeply, connect meaningfully, and grow into their strengths. We work with a variety of clients across the lifespan and can offer support to develop across a broad range of presentations or to work in niche areas if that's your preference.
- Generous salaried position with super and scalable earning potential
- Experienced on-site admin support to handle scheduling, payments and client logistics - plus the ever essential cup of tea/coffee
- Paid time for clinical letters and communication
- Weekly individual supervision for registrars (90 minutes, prorata for PT) or monthly for endorsed clinical psychologists
- For registrars, a structured registrar program is available if preferred
- Well-resourced, welcoming and comfortable consulting rooms
- Option to develop or run groups, participate in leadership
- Full access to our library, therapy resources and assessment resources (including Q Interactive and ADOS2)
- All tech and clinical materials supplied
- Matched budget up to $1000 FTE per annum for PD
- Paid time for PD, up to 100 hours per annum FTE
- Structured induction, policies, templates and systems
- Practice wide support with Medicare and AHPRA compliance
We're clinicians who pay attention - to clients, to each other and to the work. We value curiosity, humour, and showing up for one another
What you'll be doing
You'll see therapy (and assessment if preferred) clients from GPs, schools and word of mouth referrals. Our manageable caseloads and paid time for documentation help prevent burnout and build shared knowledge. You'll participate in regular meetings where we explore future directions, industry development and, from time to time, shared PD. You'll be happy to build relationships with referrers based on mutual understanding and trust.
We value clinicians who are responsive to client needs - and who also know how to hold the line when needed. We support our clients through discomfort, not just to feel better, but to achieve progress in their lives.
Who you are
You're someone who values:
- Curiosity over certainty
- Kindness and service
- Excellence in work, relationships and culture
- Diversity and respect for individual difference
- Collegial honesty and support
You'll need:
- Post Graduate Qualification in Clinical Psychology
- General registration with Clinical Endorsement (or working towards - registrars are encouraged to apply)
- Eligibility for Medicare and a current Working with Children Check
- Current Professional Indemnity Insurance
- Strong communication skills and a commitment to evidence-based, client-centred practice
