Job description

Reference Number: 53623: Clinical Psychology Educator

Employment Type: On Going Part Time (PT)

Location: Northern Health (All Campuses)

About Northern Health:

As an organisation we have a clear focus on how we service and partner with our community, including our strategy of helping the community stay well when at home. Our reputation of community minded, inclusive and progressive is matched to none.

Northern Health is located in the rapidly growing northern suburbs with projected growth the biggest in the state. With a booming, culturally rich and diverse community, and less than an hour’s drive from the CBD (still within the bounds of Myki and ride-sharing), Melbourne’s North is fast becoming the place to be.

Are you ready to make a lasting impact on mental health care and workforce wellbeing?

Join Northern Health, one of Victoria’s fastest-growing health services, as a Psychology Clinical Educator within our Mental Health Division — and help shape the next generation of psychological practice.

Northern Health is Victoria's third-largest mental health service and a recognised teaching hospital, providing acute, sub-acute, community, and specialist care across six major campuses — including Northern Hospital Epping, Broadmeadows, Bundoora, Craigieburn, and Mernda.

As a teaching hospital, Northern Health fosters a strong culture of learning, supervision, and professional development, offering psychologists the opportunity to contribute to education, research, and service innovation. We’re proud to serve Melbourne’s vibrant northern corridor, delivering high-quality, person-centred care to our community.

Why You'll Love This Role:

• Play a pivotal role in supporting and developing early‑career psychologists, helping them build confidence, capability, and clinical excellence.
• Lead and inspire psychologists across diverse clinical settings.
• Drive innovation in mental health education and evidence‑based practice.
• Collaborate with passionate professionals committed to recovery‑oriented care.
• Contribute to a culture that values psychological safety, wellbeing, and professional growth.
• Engage in ongoing professional development and opportunities to contribute to research, service improvement, and innovation in mental health practice.

About You:

• Extensive clinical experience (8+ years) within public mental health settings, providing evidence‑based treatment and care to consumers and carers.
• Current AHPRA registration under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (Victoria) Act 2009.
• Endorsement in Clinical Psychology and Psychology Board Approved Supervisor status.
• Strong knowledge of Psychology Board of Australia competencies and code of ethics, including supervision requirements.
• Proven ability to work collaboratively and innovatively across interdisciplinary teams to support workforce development.
• Demonstrated experience in designing and delivering education, training, and professional development programs for psychologists at varying levels of experience.
• Deep understanding of mental health presentations, evidence‑based interventions, and recovery‑oriented practice.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage, influence, and lead effectively.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means:

• Building a high-performing, confident psychology workforce through mentorship and education.
• Embedding psychological excellence and evidence‑based practice across all service areas.
• Strengthening workforce wellbeing and resilience through leadership and innovation.
• Contributing to a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and psychological safety.
• Delivering measurable improvements in clinical outcomes and staff engagement.
