Senior Clinician - Child and Adolescent Practice

n

Department of Justice and Community Safety VIC – Werribee VIC

n

If you're passionate about clinical work with young people and are looking to join a dedicated team that values your expertise, supports creativity and encourages professional growth, you'll thrive at Statewide Rehabilitation Services (SRS).

n

Across our community offices as well as our custodial facilities at Cherry Creek and Parkville, we give young people involved in the justice system the consistent support they need.

n

As one of our senior clinicians, you will manage a dedicated team to create positive change and help young people rebuild their lives in partnership with families and communities.

n

Using evidence-informed practice, you will guide them through life-changing shifts in mindset, behaviour and self-belief and empower them to make positive choices, learn new skills to reduce harmful behaviours and stay on track.

n

It's complex and challenging work. But it's work that makes a real difference both to young people's futures and to our state's safety.

n

You will:

n

Work within a forensic framework with young people who engage in serious offending behaviour and may present as a moderate to high risk of reoffending.

n





Use your skills and judgement to lead a team in providing therapeutic intervention to young people with complex needs and build respectful, supportive relationships.

n

Help develop a strong team culture where peer support and collaboration are central to success.

n

Take part in regular training and development, with one day each month dedicated to your learning.

n

What you will get

n

Our clinicians will tell you that the work here is its own reward. This is a unique opportunity to provide continued support to young people, working across a variety of youth justice settings.

n

However, there are also many other advantages of a clinical career in youth justice, including:

n

n
- a comprehensive clinical induction
n
- opportunities for further professional development
n
- sponsorship of your professional membership such as AHPRA or AASW
n
- ongoing support, with both informal and formal clinical and operational supervision.
