PSYCHOLOGISTS, PAEDIATRIC SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS, PAEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, MENTAL HEALTH SOCIAL WORKERS, MASTERS LEVEL COUNSELLORS WELCOME TO JOIN OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM

Young Minds Health and Development network requires enthusiastic and passionate clinicians to join our thriving private practice.  There are positions available in-clinic in two of our four Clinics in Brisbane North and Moreton Bay area: The Gap and Redcliffe. There may be a couple of days available in our Stafford and North Lakes clinics but this advertisement is to gain clinicians for our Redcliffe and The Gap Clinics.  We would prefer Contractors, but will consider employment.  There are full-time and part-time positions.  Contractors will be paid at an hourly rate.  There are some deliverables required but we have a very focused self-care culture, flexible and lots of support with peer supervision, group and individual, with our Clinical Leads. 

 We also have 6 higher level supervisors for Endorsement programs for Psychologists – Ed and Dev, Counselling and Clinical.

The role suits a fully-registered clinician beginning in private practice.  Our comprehensive induction program and our support mechanisms allow you to learn the ropes, so you end up loving private practice as much as we do.   It will allow you to spend your work time with a team of like-minded individuals, who are all banding together to make a difference. 

 The role is also ideal for those experienced clinicians who would like a change from their current private practice position.

We welcome new masters graduates as well as experienced fully-registered clinicians.  We will be having an in-take of 5+1s psychologists later in the 2024.

Young Minds is a business sponsor organisation so those clinicians overseas who are considered to meet the criteria for temporary shortage status in Australia, and, who wish to migrate to Australia are welcome to apply.  A permanent full-time employed position will apply to overseas clinicians.

 Hourly rate is negotiable based on experience and discipline.

Young Minds is a busy Psychology and Allied Health Pratice that has been operating for 15 years.  We have a very good track record and are highly regarded with GPs and Specialists and other service providers.  There are currently over 30 psychologists (including Clinical, Educational & Developmental, Counselling, and Generalists), 2 speech pathologists, 3 occupational therapists and a Social Worker working in the Practice across four locations.  We have a high case load of children and adolescents, and also many Adults.  Referrals come mainly from GPs, Paediatricians and NDIS, and through our website.

Our Redcliffe Clinic is a stand alone building,  with a large Studio (for groups) and a play-therapy building at the back.  It is across the road from the water.  There is a bench seat across the road looking out to the water, where side by side counselling can be achieved if desired.  There is a walking track along the water to the jetty (about 1km) – Clinicians are encouraged to take a couple of hours in the day to enjoy the outside.  diary schedules are flexible.

Our The Gap clinic is on the 1st floor of the shopping centre.  While it is busy downstairs, it is quiet on the first floor with only professional suites available.  Clinicians like working there as there are multiple choices for coffee and lunch options, and the weekly grocery shopping can be done in down time! 

Our clinics have been recently refurbished and are a delight to work in.
