Psychologist Supersaurus

JOB DESCRIPTION

Supersaurus is a multidisciplinary allied health centre catering for children, adolescents, and families. Offering individual and group therapy conducted by Psychologists, Dietitians and Occupational Therapist/Therapy Assistant.

Group therapy is conducted utilising play, socialisation and movement, combined with emotion regulation, and social guidance and tuition to assist the participant’s to be able to adapt and function the best they can in everyday life. Our interventions focus on enhancing and working with the individual’s unique traits and talents.

Supersaurus is a place to feel safe, learn, be stimulated, feel relaxed and make friends for children who find these things a challenge.

We are client driven and support neuroaffirming practices. Treating:

  • Autism Spectrum
  • Attention Deficit Disorder/Hyperactivity Disorder 
  • Sensory Processing Difficulties
  • Anger
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Dietary Issues
  • Sensory Diet
  • Handwriting
  • Hand eye co-ordination

    or other lagging skills and unsolved problems, as well as their families.

​Anyone who has been flagged by school, medical practitioners or families for ​cognitive, social, communication or developmental needs are also welcomed.

​Our clinicians work with children and adolescents, their parents/carers and families. We also conduct a variety of assessments, as found on our website www.supersaurus.com.au.

Supersaurus was founded seven years ago by Brett and Kelly Ritchie (Psychologist). After our son was diagnosed with Autism we began searching for assistive therapies in our area. To our dismay there were no services providing supported social interaction and early intervention development programs. We were disappointed and confused as were other local families with similar challenges. In April 2017 we opened our first Supersaurus centre and began our journey with the support of twenty-five local families. By word of mouth, we quickly grew and seven years later we are proud to support over one hundred and sixty families. In that time, we have never had the need to advertise for clients as our books are consistently full. 

Description:

  • Utilise and further develop the therapy space to see your clients grow while having fun!
  • Work onsite – NO TRAVEL
  • Work within a multidisciplinary team to enhance and compliment your skills across all areas of practice
  • Work within group and individual therapy – our group therapy program has been designed with our clients in mind. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to the planning of future groups.

We are flexible to your needs – we can offer full time, part time or contracted positions. We also close for approximately half of all of the school holidays, allowing you time with your family.
