Job Description

Shape Your Career in a Thriving Private Practice n

The autonomy of private practice. The support of a team that has your back.

n

Psychologist - Adult Mental Health
Permanent Part-Time 3-4 Days
Campbelltown & Moorebank Hybrid
$120,000-$130,000 FTE + super, pro rata based on experience & competence

n

Thinking About Private Practice? You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone.

n

Perhaps you've spent the past few years developing your skills in government, community mental health, a hospital, occupational rehabilitation or another structured setting-and you're wondering whether private practice could be your next step.

n

You want more autonomy, flexibility and variety, but you don't want to give up the security, supervision and team connection you're used to.

n

That's where Lighthouse is different.

n

We're looking for a warm, capable and curious registered psychologist who has solid clinical foundations and wants somewhere they can continue to grow.

n

We welcome generally registered psychologists, clinical psychologists and clinical psychology registrars . Around five years' experience would be ideal, but we're more interested in your capability, curiosity and fit with our team than an exact number of years.

n

And if you're new to private practice? We won't throw you in the deep end.

Why Lighthouse? n

We've been established for 11 years , continue to grow, and have a strong referral network providing consistent clinical work.

n

This is a permanent role within a team of approximately 24 clinicians and 6 administration staff . We're particularly proud of our staff retention-with some team members celebrating 10 years with Lighthouse this year .

What Will Your Week Look Like? n

Your focus will be providing high-quality psychological therapy to adults across a diverse range of presentations.

n

You'll work across Campbelltown and Moorebank , seeing clients face-to-face and via telehealth, with referrals across Medicare, SIRA and NDIS.

n

You'll formulate and deliver evidence-based treatment, collaborate with GPs and other health professionals, complete clinical documentation and participate in supervision and case consultation.

n

Our preferred hours are around 10am-6pm , but there's flexibility. Start earlier, finish earlier or arrange your clients differently across the day-we want you to build a calendar that is sustainable and workable for you.

n

You'll have autonomy, without working in isolation .

We Set You Up to Thrive n

Moving into private practice involves learning new systems, funding streams and ways of working. We don't expect you to arrive knowing all of them.

n

Our onboarding is structured and thorough , with time to learn our systems, processes, clinical expectations and workflows before finding your rhythm.

n

Your existing skills are transferable. We'll help you bridge the gap into private practice.

n

You'll also have access to experienced clinicians, senior psychologists, our Clinical Director, Practice Manager and administration team when you need support.

Keep Growing n

We're big on professional development and practical clinical learning.

n

Training opportunities may include things like:

n

n
- n

Clinical and psychometric assessment

n
- n

Comprehensive risk assessment

n
- n

DBT and group facilitation

n
- n

Schema Therapy

n
- n

Case formulation and complex presentations

n

n

And if you're interested in progressing your career,



future opportunities may include supervising provisional psychologists, facilitating group supervision, leading DBT groups, providing clinical training or stepping into a Clinical Lead role .

n

There's room to grow-but no expectation that you need to want all of that now.

The Lighthouse Culture n

We're serious about clinical care, but considerably less serious about ourselves.

n

We're a fun, creative, supportive and down-to-earth team . There's laughter, collaboration, plenty of shared problem-solving and the occasional bit of black humour that probably only mental health professionals understand.

n

We value Respect, Accountability, Growth, Connection, Courage and Excellence and want people who care about doing excellent work while also being human.

Could This Be You? n

You'll need:

n

n
- n

Full AHPRA registration as a Psychologist

n
- n

General registration, clinical endorsement or clinical registrar status

n
- n

Medicare registered (we can kick this off with you)

n
- n

SIRA eligibility (we can support your training here)

n
- n

Experience working therapeutically with adults

n
- n

Sound evidence-based practice and formulation skills

n
- n

Warmth, professionalism and emotional maturity

A reflective approach and openness to feedback and supervision

A genuine desire to be part of a collaborative team

n

n

New to private practice? Please don't let that stop you applying.

What happens next? n

n

Bring your experience, curiosity and willingness to grow. We'll provide the support, structure and team to help you thrive.
