Social Worker - Mental Health Clinician

Mental Health Clinician - Community Mental Health & Crisis Services Full Time & Part Time | $95,000 - $120,000 + Super + Salary Packaging + Sign-On Bonus + Relocation Assistance

About the Role

Crisis work that actually moves. Community care that actually connects. This is your chance to join one of Australia's largest regional public mental health providers across Community Mental Health, Crisis Assessment and Adult Recovery teams, in a role where no two days (or home visits, or case conferences) look the same.

Whether you're drawn to the steady rhythm of community case management or the adrenaline of crisis intervention, there's a team and a location here to match your experience and where you want your career to go next.

This is one of Australia's leading regional public mental health providers - a service with real scale and real depth, spanning community, acute, rehabilitation and specialist mental health programs. With more than 40 full-time equivalent clinicians across crisis services alone, and multiple multidisciplinary community teams besides, this is a place to build a genuinely varied and long-term career rather than just fill a role. Comprehensive orientation, ongoing professional development and a strongly collaborative, multidisciplinary culture mean you're never navigating complex presentations alone.

Why You'll Want This One

• $95,000 - $120,000 + Super, plus Salary Packaging to boost your take-home pay
• $3,000 sign-on bonus ($1,500 on commencement, $1,500 at six months)
• Up to $4,000 relocation reimbursement (claimable within 12 months of starting)
• Permanent Full-Time and Part-Time options, with a minimum of .6 FTE
• Flexible working arrangements built around real work-life balance
• Extensive clinical supervision and a genuine investment in your ongoing development
• Career pathways across a large, diverse public health network
• Employee wellbeing initiatives and a culture that backs its people
• Dedicated support for interstate and international clinicians, including visa assistance and 491 pathway experience.

What You'll Be Doing

Working across community mental health, case management, crisis assessment and treatment, emergency mental health response and adult recovery services, you'll:

• Complete comprehensive mental health and risk assessments
• Deliver evidence-based therapeutic interventions
• Provide ongoing case management within a recovery-oriented framework

• Partner with Emergency Departments on urgent mental health assessments
• Support and monitor medication where appropriate
• Collaborate closely with Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and Mental Health Nurses

If you're joining a Crisis Assessment Team, expect to respond to acute presentations, conduct comprehensive risk assessments, and deliver intensive short-term intervention across both hospital and community settings.

• Current AHPRA registration, or eligibility for membership with the relevant professional association
• Experience in Community Mental Health, Crisis Assessment or Adult Mental Health services
• Strong clinical assessment and risk management skills
• A genuine commitment to recovery-oriented, trauma-informed practice
• Excellent communication and multidisciplinary teamwork skills

Experience
