Jobs at the Liberation Clinic

Eating Disorder Psychologist, in Supportive Private Practice

*Multiple positions available, incl provisional, mid-career, and senior

Are you as excited about eating disorder recovery as we are?!?

Are you a registered/ clinical psychologist, or nearing the completion of your provisional/ registrar period?

Then please read on, we'd love to meet you!

We’re looking for two HAES aligned registered or clinical psychologists, with a strong interest in supporting those with eating disorders. You’re someone who truly believes recovery is possible for everyone, and is excited about supporting clients, families, and our community.  You value social connection at work, and you’re excited to have dedicated space in your diary to prioritise collaboration with your team, external colleagues, and referrers.

Being a small, nimble private practice, there’s huge potential to develop your role in line with your interests. We welcome the knowledge and skill that you’ve built over your career or lived experience, and can’t wait to have your input into the services we offer!

Our Values

Liberation Clinic is a specialist eating disorder clinic in the Sutherland Shire. We are proudly HAES aligned, and value ‘compassionate and collaborative’ client care. Our culture strongly reflects this, with regular dedicated time each week to share insights about the clients you’ll be sharing with our passionate non-diet dietitians.

Our vision at Liberation Clinic is to work towards bridging the huge gaps that exist between levels of care, developing and offering targeted additional outpatient services to shorten the treatment path, and promote more resilient recovery for our clients. Our 12 month plan involves building our psychology team, and looking forward we will be bringing on Medical team members, along with additional supports like trauma informed yoga, to provide a holistic service where all providers are on the same page.

In fact, if you have psychologist friends who share our values and you’d love to work with, why not encourage them to also apply, and bring them along for the ride with you!

The Role and Benefits

Much of your day will be spent providing your expert clinical services to clients and families. We believe in pro-active burnout prevention, and our full-time caseload equates to 24 billable hours per week (with an appropriate development period for provisionals), inclusive of billable case conferences. We are protective of our clinical team’s calendars, with fixed case discussion meetings and permanent admin breaks every day after lunch, to increase opportunities to chat with your team (whether this is across the hall, or via videochat if you work remotely), and give your brain time to refresh!

When you join us, you’ll be welcomed into our team of passionate clinicians, and encouraged and supported to grow with the practice. We are also currently recruiting a senior clinician, to offer close in-house support, supervision and mentoring to our psychology team. We offer:

• Freedom to exercise your own sound clinical judgement that private practice offers
• Security of employment, with paid admin time. We don’t want you to take work home with you!
• A supportive, friendly multi-disciplinary team, to grow with and debrief with
• Variety in your role, with the option of running groups, meal support, or service development, for example
• A focus on your professional development, and personalised CPD plan
• Pro-active administration support, who are happy to take tasks off your hands!
• Beautiful, private rooms, 2mins walk from Miranda Westfield, and directly across from Miranda train station.
• Flexibility to choose the work option that suits you best, whether in the clinic every working day, a hybrid model, or via telehealth from anywhere in Australia.

Package and Benefits

We offer above-award pay based on degree of relevant experience, career progression options, plus:

• Generous supervision and CPD allowances in addition to your salary,
• 2 days’ paid study leave (FTE)
• Internal peer supervision and case discussion

Availability

Hours are negotiable, and there is plenty of flexibility to work around other employment or family commitments, etc. As we mentioned above, because our top priority is finding clinicians who share our values, we’re happy for you to work in the way that suits you best, whether at the clinic every day, a hybrid of clinic and WFH, or completely via telehealth.
