As Clinical Lead, your day will span your own manageable caseload of client sessions alongside a genuine leadership remit: supervising registrars, developing the team, shaping clinical resources and programs, and helping build a practice culture people genuinely want to be part of.

This is a senior role with real influence. You'll work closely with our director, Dr Michelle Darragh, to drive the clinical direction of a practice that's growing fast and thinking creatively about what psychology services can look like.

 

What you'll be doing: 

• Maintaining your own client caseload (~4 sessions/day) across presentations that match your areas of expertise

• Providing regular individual and group supervision to provisional psychologists and clinical registrars, and other team members as required

• Leading professional development across the team, facilitating case discussions, skill-building, and in-house learning

• Developing and sourcing clinical resources: assessment tools, treatment frameworks, psychoeducation materials

• Contributing to service innovation such as group programs, new offerings, creative approaches to care

• Being a consistent, energising presence that holds the team together through a period of exciting growth

What you'll bring:

• AHPRA registration as a Clinical Psychologist

• Board Approved Supervisor status for Clinical Registrars

• Solid private practice experience and a feel for what makes it work

• Genuine investment in other people's growth: your own clients and the Unburden team

• Creative thinking and a willingness to try new things

• The kind of presence that makes a team feel encouraged 

Candidates must have current Australian work rights at the time of application.

What's in it for you:

 

• $167,000 base + 12% super + potential to earn a performance bonus each quarter

• $2,000 relocation assistance for interstate candidates

• A role that provides work-life balance and variety in the day, balancing clients, leadership, supervision, and development

• Real leadership scope. You'll help shape clinical direction, not just follow it

• PD budget and ongoing professional development support

• Two well-resourced Brisbane locations (Graceville and Rocklea)

• A small, high-quality team that genuinely values culture
