Are you weighed down by administrative tasks, finding your days consumed by case management instead of the clinical work you’re passionate about? Do the confines of a large organisation leave you craving the freedom to fully utilise your therapeutic skills and have a balanced caseload? Do you find yourself buried under a complex caseload, struggling to find time for self-care or clinical support?

If you’re passionate about trauma but find yourself bogged down in case management, struggling to maintain a balance, and seeking an opportunity to grow your clinical skills, we have a role for you. Step into a position that prioritises your therapeutic prowess, offering you an opportunity to make a significant difference while finding the balance and support you deserve.

At The Shellharbour Clinic, our mission is to empower individuals in the Illawarra region to overcome their past and live their best life through leading trauma services. But that’s not all we do – we’re committed to improving the mental health of our community through evidence-based treatments and a dedication to integrity in all interactions and behaviours. Our team of dedicated professionals is committed to making a real difference in the lives of our clients, and we’re looking for someone like you to join us in that mission. With us, you’ll be able to cultivate your skills and become the best version of yourself, all while delivering exceptional psychology services.

Our location offers the convenience of nearby parking, as well as the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area with a leisurely nature walk. 

If you share our passion for making a meaningful impact in the lives of our community and possess the necessary qualifications and skills, we encourage you to apply for our psychologist position today.
