Overview
The Yorke and Northern Local Health Network are offering a great opportunity for a Occupational Therapist, Social Worker or Psychologist to join our dedicated Mental Health Team as a Mental Health Clinician and make a positive impact in the lives of people with Mental Health challenges.
A Mental Health Clinician uses their clinical experience, increasingly generalist and/or specialist clinical knowledge and professional competence in their designated discipline, to plan, implement and evaluate a comprehensive and integrated range of services, appropriate to the needs of the consumers, their carers and families. The Psychologist uses a range of psychological assessments and psychological interventions, including evidence based therapeutic approaches, early psychological interventions, individual and family approaches, group programs, and community development programs as required.
