Wandi Nerida is Australia's premier residential eating disorder treatment facility and we're seeking a new Clinical Practice Lead, 0.8FTE based on the Sunshine Coast. This a rare chance to shape how Australia treats eating disorders.

Since 2021, we've opened our doors over 300 times to people living with some of the most complex and enduring eating disorders. Our B-FREEDT Model of Care now helps inform how residential care is delivered across the country.

What you'll do:

- Be the custodian of the B-FREEDT Model of Care, holding it in theory and in practice, approve how it is adapted, and monitor fidelity across every participant-facing discipline.
- Build evidence through leading our clinical research and evaluation agenda, hold the clinical integrity of our outcome data, build university partnerships and publish our outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.




- Represent Wandi Nerida at national and international conferences, with state and Commonwealth government, and lead the community of practice with Australia’s other residential eating disorder services.
- Lead with clinical expertise, holding clinical oversight of all clinical and participant-facing staff, working in peer partnership with the management team.

What you'll bring:

- Current general registration as a Psychologist with AHPRA, with endorsement in Clinical Psychology,
- Master’s or Doctoral qualifications in Clinical Psychology
- Minimum 5 years' experience as a senior mental health clinician, including 2+ years in senior clinical leadership
- Minimum 3 years delivering evidence-based eating disorder treatment, with expertise in complex and comorbid presentations in residential, day program or inpatient settings.
