ACT Health is a values-led Directorate. Our values guide our day to day actions, behaviours, decisions and communications to successfully deliver the best services to meet the needs of our community. They were developed by us, for us and are unique to our work. Overview of the work area: The ACT Women’s Health Service (WHS) provides inter-professional and holistic nursing, medical and counselling services to women in the ACT. Services are provided from both central and outreach locations. The Women’s Health Service understands that disadvantage and vulnerability contributes to poor physical and emotional health for many women in our community.  For this reason priority is given to women who experience significant barriers to health service access. These barriers may include, but are not limited to, the impact of violence, abuse or neglect; identifying as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin; social or economic disadvantage, disability, language, culture, or sexuality. The service seeks to provide trauma informed care to women accessing the service. The Counselling Team Leader is clinically responsible for the counselling work undertaken by the service, and is the clinical supervisor for the Health Professional 3 Counsellors on the team. This position also forms part of the Women’s Health Service leadership team, to progress and represent the work of the service. The person we are seeking will have a commitment to working within an interprofessional environment and an understanding of delivering services to women from a feminist perspective.

Highly Desirable: Approved or eligible for approval as a Psychology Board of Australia Principal and/or Secondary Supervisor for 4+2 interns and/or Higher Degree Students. Previous experience in clinical management/leadership in a women’s health environment. This position is a protected position and is open to women only as ACT Health, consistent with section 34(2)(i) of the Discrimination Act 1991, considers that it is a genuine occupational qualification for a woman to be employed in this position to most effectively lead the counselling service. Please note prior to commencement successful candidates will be required to: Comply with ACT Health credentialing and scope of clinical practice requirements for allied health professionals.
