About headspace:

headspace is Australia’s National Youth Mental Health Foundation, providing early intervention services to young people aged 12–25 experiencing mental health challenges.

You’ll play a key role in strengthening clinical governance, leading supervision, supporting quality improvement initiatives, and fostering a positive team culture focused on recovery and early intervention.

About You:

You’ll bring:
