We welcome expressions of interest from trained Provisional Psychologists interested in extending their scope of practice into the community health setting.

The Program

The Provisional Psychologist will be required to work within the SCHS team to provide clinical consultations and therapeutic support to individuals and families to address mental health and wellbeing needs.

The purpose of the Provisional Psychologist position is to provide a range of psychological therapeutic interventions and clinical assessments with clients who have been referred from a range of sources, primarily for clients of the Mental Health Drug & Alcohol Team.

It is envisaged that the position will work mainly with Adult and young adult clients, however child work may be included depending on the incumbents’ clinical scope of practice.
