Seeking a Psychologist/Clinical Psychologist/Registrar to join our dynamic and growing clinic. Specific preference given to experienced psychologists seeking to work with paediatric clients and/or NDIS population. 

About Us

Inner Calm Clinical Psychology (ICCP) is located in the heart of the Illawarra at the edge of the beautiful Balgownie village. Nestled under the magnificent escarpment, we love the village vibe of where we work and are passionate about the importance of the balance between work and play 🙂

Our Values

We thrive on providing a standard of excellence in assessment, formulation and treatment. We are passionate about mental health being accessible to everyone in our community. We love giving back to our community including taking part in charity events such as cycles, long walks or ocean swims to raise awareness and reduce mental health stigma. 

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide a safe and supportive treatment modality tailored specifically for each individual person so that they can develop the insight, skills and tools to navigate and overcome their mental health challenges. Our vision is that as a practice we will actively contribute to the reduction of mental health stigma so that challenges such as trauma, anxiety, low mood, shape and weight concerns, and difficulty dealing with emotions and relationships can be openly discussed and supported in our community. 

This Role

This is an opportunity for an independent and warm Clinician to join our team 2-5 days per week with the flexible working hours.  This role comes with admin support and a client load ready for the right clinician. 

Clients will be matched based on skill level and experience. We are passionate that our clinicians at ICCP feel 100% supported in the number of referrals they receive and the type of presentations. In short, we will always have your back. We truly want you to love coming to work 🙂 

Our Clients

Our clients are mostly adults who work or study in the Illawarra area with a mix of women, men and adolescents motivated to engage and address their issues. We have a steady referral base from our local Community Mental health service in Wollongong, a range of GPs, our local University, psychiatrists and our allied health colleagues. ICCP also provides psychological support for plan and self-managed NDIS clients. While we assess and work with people across the lifespan, a strong focus and passion of ours is the treatment of trauma and Perinatal Mental health.  We are passionate about giving back to our community and have provided presentations to raise the awareness of Mental Health. We are also passionate about developing unique Group Therapy Programs and are happy to facilitate this for the right clinician. 

What we can offer you

– Competitive fee split reflective of clinical experience, supervision needs and/or level of contribution to the growth of the practice

– Practice managed marketing to our referral networks

– An established referral base

– Administrative support (that is warm and yes actually supportive!)

– A lovely and relaxed office space that has been freshly renovated; natural light, lots of plants, lovely couches, timber flooring. We strongly believe our physical environment needs to support the work we do

Who we’re looking for

Our goal at Inner Calm is to remain a small but highly effective service, so we’re looking for someone that is excited to join a growing, dynamic team. We highly value someone that is warm, compassionate, independent, who carefully considers the needs of their clients, loves the work they do and enjoys having independence but also being part of a team that enjoys having lunch together. A love of dark chocolate is nice but not necessary, a good sense of humour is 🙂  If working with NDIS or paediatric clients and/or assessments is your passion, we also welcome this.
