We're Seeking a Psychologist Passionate About Assessment

Are you a psychologist who enjoys understanding how young people think, learn and experience the world?

Future Minds Psychology is growing our assessment team and is seeking a psychologist with a particular interest in cognitive, learning and neurodevelopmental assessment of children, adolescents and young adults.

This is an assessment-focused subcontractor position with an established referral stream. It would particularly suit an Educational & Developmental Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist or Clinical Neuropsychologist , either endorsed or undertaking an endorsement pathway, who is looking to develop or expand their assessment practice.

Training and experience in the ADOS-2 would be highly regarded.

Who We Are

Future Minds Psychology provides high-quality, evidence-based psychological services to children, adolescents and young adults up to age 30.

Based in Box Hill South , we have more than 15 years' experience providing psychological services to young people and families in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, becoming Future Minds Psychology in 2024.

Assessment is an important and growing part of our practice. We regularly receive referrals from families, schools, GPs, paediatricians and allied health professionals seeking clarification of a young person's cognitive, learning and neurodevelopmental profile.

Our work is guided by our core values:

Learning, Compassion, Integrity and Diversity.

We adopt an inclusive and collaborative approach, working closely with young people, families, schools and other professionals to develop a meaningful understanding of each young person's strengths, difficulties and support needs.

Our vision: That all young people know they are worthy of safety, compassion and understanding—so they can find their place in the world.

The Role

You will primarily undertake assessments involving:





- Cognitive and intellectual functioning
- Learning and academic achievement
- Specific Learning Disorder

Depending on your experience and areas of interest, your assessment work may include:

- Clinical, developmental and diagnostic interviews
- Cognitive assessment using measures such as the WISC-V, WPPSI and WAIS
- Academic assessment using the WIAT
- ADHD diagnostic assessment and standardised questionnaires
- Assessment of executive functioning, behaviour and emotional functioning
- Autism assessment, including the ADOS-2 where appropriately trained
- Adaptive functioning assessment
- Review of developmental, educational and previous clinical information
- Consultation with parents, teachers, schools and other professionals
- Integration and interpretation of assessment findings
- Preparation of comprehensive psychological reports
- Feedback sessions with young people and families

We are particularly interested in psychologists who can integrate assessment findings into a coherent clinical formulation, rather than simply reporting test scores.

We offer:

- An established assessment referral stream across cognitive, learning, ADHD and autism presentations
