Make a Meaningful Difference with Ark Allied Care

Are you an experienced Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner/Registered Psychologist looking for flexibility, professional autonomy and a supportive workplace where your expertise is genuinely valued?

Ark Allied Care is growing, and we are seeking a skilled, motivated and experienced practitioner to join our multidisciplinary team. This is a part-time position with the potential to expand to full-time as our services and client base grow.

Our practitioners deliver services directly within the community, visiting participants in their homes, schools, kindergartens and other community settings. This is not a clinic-based role. When you are not seeing clients, you can complete reports, documentation, planning and other administrative tasks from the comfort of your own home.

Why Join Ark Allied Care?

We understand that great clinical outcomes start with practitioners who feel supported, valued and empowered.

Flexible working arrangements: Enjoy autonomy over your schedule and the flexibility to balance work and personal commitments.

Community-based practice: Work directly with participants in their everyday environments, delivering practical, person-centred support.

Work-from-home administration: Complete your clinical documentation and administrative responsibilities from home.

Dedicated company vehicle: Have a vehicle allocated exclusively to you, without the need to collect or return it to the office each day.

Clinical supervision and mentoring: Access professional guidance, case discussions and opportunities for collaboration.

Administrative support: Our dedicated team assists with scheduling, enquiries, billing and invoicing.

Additional benefits: Competitive remuneration, a company laptop and mobile phone, professional development, clinical resources, wellbeing support and genuine career progression.
