About the role:

Roar Psychology is seeking a part-time Psychologist (Ed & Dev/Clinical or Provisonal Psychologist) to join our growing team in Mitcham. You will play a vital role in providing high-quality psychological services and support to our diverse client base. We primarily work with children and adolescents - however we are expanding our availability to adults. This is an excellent opportunity to work in a collaborative, dynamic environment and contribute to the overall wellbeing of the local community.

What you'll be doing:

• Developing individualised treatment plans across the lifespan (heavy child/adolescent referral base).
• Providing evidence-based and neuroaffirming psychological interventions, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychoeducation and other therapeutic modalities.
• Collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure a holistic, integrated approach to client care.
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date client records and adhering to all relevant professional and ethical standards.
• Creation and engagement with Roar Psychology social media.
• Preferred but not required: Conducting comprehensive neuroaffirming psychological assessments for children and adults (including Autism, ADHD, SLD and giftedness).

What your week will look like:

• You can expect approximately 5–6 client hours per day, with paid time allocated for clinical notes, reports and other essential non-billable work. There is no expectation to work evenings or Saturdays, and we offer flexibility around start and finish times.
• We understand that psychologists do their best work when they have some control over the clients they see. When you join us, we’ll ask about your preferred age ranges, presentations, clinical interests and ideal caseload, and we’ll do our best to build your caseload accordingly.
• If a referral isn’t a good clinical fit, you will always have the ability to decline it.
• Individual supervision, with frequency negotiated as part of your employment offer
• Monthly group supervision
• Access to supervision ad hoc when required and, where appropriate, external specialists
• Assessment training and support
• A team environment where asking for help and sharing ideas is actively encouraged

Career progression:

We’re interested in supporting psychologists to build a long-term career at Roar, rather than simply filling a position. For clinicians who demonstrate strong clinical practice, consistently meet KPIs and show genuine passion for their work, there will be opportunities to progress into senior psychologist and leadership roles, with potential opportunities for further supervision training and development as the practice grows

What we're looking for:

• Registration as a Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
• Working with Children’s Check
• Early career and experienced psychologists welcome - salary will reflect your experience, skills, and years of professional practice.
• Strong clinical assessment and therapeutic skills, with a focus on evidence-based practices.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and collaborate effectively with clients and colleagues.
• A commitment to ongoing professional development and a desire to work in a team-oriented environment.

What we have to offer:

At Roar Psychology, we are dedicated to supporting the professional and personal growth of our employees. We offer an above-award competitive salary, flexible work arrangements, and a range of career development opportunities. You will have access to supervision out of direct line management, and an annual professional development allowance.

We are committed to supporting your professional growth and career development. Our practice actively encourages career progression and provides opportunities for ongoing learning aligned with your individual goals.

We also value work–life balance and recognise the importance of wellbeing in a profession where burnout can be common. We strive to create a supportive, values-driven environment where we look after one another and sustain meaningful, balanced careers.

We want you to have a team around you, not just a calendar full of appointments. Sometimes that means talking through a complex case, sometimes it means asking for another perspective, and sometimes it means falling apart, eating lollies, sitting on the floor and chatting after a particularly difficult day. Let’s be totally honest!
