We want the best so here's what we offer

About us
childpsych is one of Brisbane's largest child psychology practices delivering interventions for children up to age 18 for the last 12 years. With consultation rooms in Sherwood, Springfield, Ipswich and Toowoomba we deliver psychological services to the general community, the child protection sector, and schools.
Our work environment
childpsych is a characterised by high professional standards. However, we do offer flexible working arrangements where possible to suit family responsibilities. With all this "professionalism" comes a fun staff, peer supervision, strong admin support and resources (4 IQ tests for example) to allow you to do your job properly. We don't see clients during 12-1pm so we can all connect/debrief/cry/laugh etc You will be challenged in this position as you work with a range of childhood disorders.
Remuneration
Wages are competitive with the government and private practice sectors. You will be employed as an "employee" and not a contractor. You can be paid on a billable hours rate or salary depending on what you are comfortable with. We don't rent you rooms, ask you to answer the phone, or require you promote the practice - just turn up to work and do what you do best!
The ideal applicant
The ideal applicant will be able to:
- build rapport with children and families and have an open minded and approachable personality
- use an integrative approach to therapy including play-based therapy but also understand Evidence-based practices and interventions
- able to work with a variety of childhood problems including children with autism and children in care
- conduct assessments for AD/HD, Autism, learning disorders etc
We consider the following highly desirable but not a "deal breaker":
- At least 12 months post full registration experience
- Whilst the position is predominately in Sherwood, the ability to consult in our Springfield and/or Ipswich rooms would be valued (don't worry you're not alone and will be with another childpsych psychologist)
- If you are a graduate or early career psychologist (ie, less than 5 years experience) then perhaps look at our Graduate Program (http://www.childpsych.net.au/graduate-program.php)
