Part-Time Clinical Psychologist Required
An increase in referrals based on effective treatment outcomes has lead to an expansion of the practice and an opportunity to be a valued and respected member of this small, growing team (currently 2 clinical psychologists and one client liaison/admin officer). An opportunity to grow in this role, and, over time provide supervision for other psychologists and become a clinical director, is possible for the right contractor.

Although evidence-based approaches (in particular CBT and ACT) within an integrative model are valued, and at times required (majority of referrals are Medicare based), freedom to choose the modalities you wish to work with is encouraged. Flexible hours/days. Peer supervision/case consultation, referrals provided.
