Here’s what sets Kids First apart

- Escape the urgency: Trade the constant "put out fires" feeling for a steady caseload, where you see children regularly and get to know their families well.

- Ditch the isolation: Walk down the hall to talk through a tricky case with a speech pathologist, OT or fellow psychologist.

- Keep growing: Build your confidence and skills with regular mentoring and clinical support from experienced colleagues.

- Leave work at work: Admin time for each and every client is built into your daily schedule, so you're not taking work home.

- Person first, practitioner second: We're committed to helping work match life. Choose part time (3-4 days)



or full time with our popular Early Finish Friday.

What your week will look like

You'll:

- Deliver evidence-based counselling and psychological supports to children, adolescents and their families

- Support parents and carers so that your therapeutic work carries through into everyday life

- Work closely with the rest of each child's team to deliver the best outcomes

- Contribute to fortnightly case conferences, where you'll learn from your colleagues and they'll learn from you

- Join our fortnightly Psych Hub, where our psychology team comes together for shared learning and professional development

- Benefit from the kind of regular clinical support and mentoring that comes from working within a genuinely collaborative team

If you're with us full time and keen to conduct assessments, there's opportunity here. And if you're accredited to deliver programs like the Cool Kids Anxiety Program and enjoy working with groups of children and young teens, we'd love to hear about that too.
