We are looking for a Behaviour Support Clinician (must have an Allied Health Degree) and/or Mental Health Social Worker.

Our Clinicians work across various sites throughout metro Adelaide, including the Fleurieu, Gawler and Adelaide Hills. Each clinician is allocated to a region to prevent unnecessary travel. We are currently looking for a clinician to work primarily in the Northern Suburbs based around Salisbury. The clinician will need to come to our head office one day a week at Tonsley Innovation District, Clovelly Park. Although, this can be negotiated once the clinician feels established as a behaviour support practitioner and therapist in our team.

A generous training budget;

Ability to work autonomously in a supportive team environment;

Flexible working arrangements, which include working from home;

Part-time work opportunities available;

A highly regarded team of clinicians;

The unique opportunity to work in a dynamic and interesting work environment.

Our clinicians meet the various industry compliance and competency standards set by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

The successful candidate will have the following:

Relevant tertiary qualifications and professional registration (Social Work/AASW, Developmental Education/DEAI, Registered Psychologist/Ahpra, Occupational Therapy/Ahpra, Master or Bachelor in Counselling or psychotherapy/PACFA/ACA etc.);

Registration as a Behaviour Support Clinician with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission or willing to undertake registration;
