We are currently seeking a new therapist to join our team. This is a contract position with a minimum requirement of 3 shifts per week.
Little Window is a unique private practice based in Greenslopes (Stones Corner). We provide individual counselling for adults, couples, adolescents, children and families. Our client base is diverse and as we are a well established practice with an extensive waiting list, your case load will build immediately. We have a high attendance rate and cancellation fees are charged to the client if less than 24 hours notice is provided for non-attendance. Rescheduled appointments are also almost always filled.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, we are still offering both face-to-face and Telehealth appointments (Telehealth sessions can be conducted at home or in our practice when required).
Practitioners typically see 5-6 clients per day with breaks booked between sessions for the therapist’s self-care, including a lunch/dinner break. Shift times are varied, with morning shifts, evenings shifts and Saturday shifts are available. Each therapist on the team works at least one evening shift per week.
The team culture and environment at Little Window has been set up so that you will receive plenty of opportunities for connection and team support, rather than work in isolation, and quality over quantity of client sessions is prioritised. We provide an enriched and soothing counselling environment for both the client and therapist.
At Little Window we highly value who the therapist is as a person (Use of Self, how they build relationships with clients, and authenticity).
