About Jenny's Place

Jenny’s Place is a leading Domestic and Family Violence organisation establishing a new specialist centre designed to provide integrated recovery support for women and children impacted by domestic, family and sexual violence. Psychology will be a key part of this current model, working alongside broader recovery, mental health and specialist supports.

About the Opportunity

Jenny's Place is seeking an experienced and compassionate Registered or Clinical Psychologist to lead the psychology function within its new Women and Children's Specialist Centre.

This is an opportunity to combine clinical practice with professional leadership and service development, helping shape how psychological support is delivered to women and children impacted by domestic, family and sexual violence.

Importantly, psychology is not new to Jenny's Place. Through an established partnership with a university, psychological support has been integrated into the organisation's services for several years. This has helped establish collaborative ways of working between psychologists and specialist caseworkers, providing a valuable foundation for the next stage of service development.

You’ll build on these existing relationships and practices,



contributing your clinical expertise to the development of the psychology service, its clinical frameworks and evidence-based approaches.

Working alongside a passionate multidisciplinary team that will include psychology, speech pathology, occupational therapy and specialist casework, you’ll provide clinical leadership, professional guidance and mentoring, while maintaining a clinical caseload.

You’ll also have dedicated operational support. A Medical Administrator will support the establishment of administrative processes, billing and day-to-day practice operations, allowing you to focus on clinical practice, professional leadership and the development of the psychology service.

This is an opportunity to contribute to something genuinely meaningful, with the support of an established organisation and the ability to influence how specialist recovery care is delivered.

Based in Newcastle, the role may also appeal to those considering a move from Sydney. With its beautiful beaches, thriving food and hospitality scene and strong sense of community, Newcastle offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Sydney.
