There has never been a more exciting time work with Queensland Corrective Services! We’re currently undergoing a period of change in how we deliver mental health services within our centres, and within that we’re expanding our psychology workforce to include social workers and occupational therapists. 

Our Senior Mental Health Clinician role is a newly created, senior role designed to provide high-level clinical services within a multidisciplinary team.

You’ll work with a collaborative, professional team providing mental health services within a dynamic operating environment. Your clinical expertise will manage complex cases and provide clinical supervision and mentorship to the team alongside the Mental Health Team Leaders, to help ensure the smooth and efficient provision of these crucial services within the Centre.

In your role as a Senior Mental Health Clinician, no two days will be the same. Your work will include:

• Delivering high-quality psychological services in a complex, high-demand environment where adaptability and a thoughtful approach to practice are key
• Operating independently to manage complex cases and situations
• Providing clinical supervision and mentorship that will contribute to team performance, capability learning, and retention
• Assisting the Team Leader to sustain a service focused team and culture through task allocation, knowledge sharing, recruitment, and onboarding

QCS' clinical frameworks provide sound guidance and logic for appropriate decisions and activities, plus you will have supportive leadership and supervision to help you continue to broaden your professional experience and knowledge.
