Job description

Experienced Perinatal Psychologist/Accredited Mental Health Social Worker or Mental Health O.T to work at Gidget House Moruya

We offer immediate or flexible start dates, client sourcing, administrative support and service promotion. No rental or overheads contribution is required.

The Position

We’re looking for Clinical Psychologists, Registered Psychologists, accredited Mental Health Social Workers & Mental Health Occupational Therapists to deliver face to face psychological support at Gidget House in Moruya, located at Tresillian Moruya Family Care Centre. Our specialist perinatal (conception to one year postpartum) clinicians provide a wide range of individual, couple and parent-infant therapies to women and their partners. In addition to pre-conception counselling, we offer services to those experiencing, or at risk of developing, perinatal depressive, anxiety and trauma or stressor-related disorders. Support is also provided to women and their partners who have experienced a pregnancy or childbirth-related loss, e.g. stillbirth, miscarriage or termination.

The service is delivered through Medicare’s Better Access initiative and the remuneration for all clinicians is therefore the affiliated Medicare Rebate. 

Gidget Foundation Australia offers more than $5k in annual benefits, including:

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated proficiency in comprehensive psychological assessment and evidence-based therapy relevant to expectant and new parents with perinatal Mental Health issues.
  • AHPRA registration with endorsements in psychology or accreditation as a Mental Health Social Worker.
  • At least 3 years post-registration experience, with specific experience working with perinatal clients or in a complementary field. (For Social Workers, demonstrated independent caseload management experience with perinatal clients prior to accreditation may be considered).
  • Demonstrated ability to work within a recovery-oriented model, utilising a person/family centred approach.
  • Demonstrated high level communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently under approved professional supervision. 
  • Effective caseload management.

If this role sounds like a role you would be interested in, but you don’t have the experience, we also offer the Perinatal & Infant Mental Health Training program.  This is a free perinatal skills development program which is available to clinicians with general Mental Health experience.
