lead psychologist

About the job

 

This is not a side-of-desk leadership role.

​

This is the role for a senior Psychologist who’s ready to shape practice, grow people, and actually have a say in how things are done.

​

If you’re tired of:

​

1. Cleaning up poor systems you didn’t design

2. Carrying risk without authority

3. Supervising provisionals without proper structure or support

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Lead Psychologist to:

• Lead clinical quality across psychology & counselling

• Supervise and grow provisional psychologists to full registration

• Lift capability, confidence and consistency across the team

• Reduce risk (complaints, burnout, compliance)

• Help evolve services, frameworks and future offerings

You’ll still have a manageable caseload, but your real impact is multiplying good practice across the whole team.

  

What You’ll Actually Do

• Provide high-quality therapy across NDIS, Medicare, WorkCover/RTWSA, EAP & private

• Deliver Assessment services for clients

• Be the go-to for complex referrals and clinical decision-making

• Lead supervision, mentoring, file reviews and capability development

• Own the provisional psychologist journey (logs, supervision, growth plans)

• Improve and evolve policies, templates and clinical systems

• Roll out at least one new service offering

• Work closely with leadership and with external senior supervisors - your voice matters here

 

This Role Is For You If:

• You’ve got 5+ years postgrad experience

• You’re a Board Approved Supervisor

• You’re solid across CBT, ACT, DBT, trauma-informed approaches

• You like leading people, not just policies

• You care deeply about quality, safety, and clinician wellbeing

• You want influence - not just responsibility

 

The Setup

• Predominantly based at our Parkside office

• Some limited time at other sites (Parafield etc.)

• Supportive leadership, clear expectations, zero tolerance for “she’ll be right” clinical standards

 

Why Activ8 Mind?

We'll share the same values and work together to ensure that we're avoiding - 

​

• Inconsistent practice

• Carrying underperformance

• Letting great clinicians burn out

​​

We’re building a strong, values-led, high-quality psychology service - and this role is central to that.
