Better. Together. is looking for a Clinical Team Leader to provide day-to-day leadership across our Wagga Wagga & Young hubs.

This is an opportunity to combine your clinical expertise with your leadership skills while supporting a team of clinicians, strengthening the way we deliver care and making a meaningful difference to people experiencing severe and/or complex mental health needs.

About Better.Together.

Better. Together. is a free mental health service for people aged 18 and over across the Murrumbidgee region.

We believe better mental health care happens when services work together, not separately. Our multidisciplinary teams work alongside general practices to provide care that is tailored to each person from clinical interventions and peer support through to care coordination, service navigation, social prescribing and group programs.

Our approach is person-centred, recovery-oriented and focused on the whole person. We work with participants, GPs and the wider service system to support mental, physical, social and emotional wellbeing.

If you are someone who understands that great leadership starts with connection, someone who can step into a complex situation, bring people together, provide thoughtful clinical guidance and help a team move forward then this is the opportunity you have been looking for.

Where you come in

As Clinical Team Leader, you will be a visible and hands-on leader within the service by support the day-to-day operations of the clinical workforce and helping your team navigate complex situations, make sound clinical decisions and deliver safe, high-quality care.

Working closely with the Service & GP Partnerships Manager and Service Team Leaders, you will help turn organisational priorities into meaningful day-to-day practice. You'll also play an important role in bringing our clinical, peer and psychosocial teams together so they can work effectively alongside participants, families, carers and the wider care network.

You will maintain a clinical caseload, providing therapeutic interventions directly to participants while also supporting the capability, confidence and development of your team.

You will also need:

• Relevant tertiary qualification and current registration or accreditation, at the level required for that discipline – refer to position description for detailed list
• Demonstrated experience leading frontline teams and coordinating daily operations, including responding to changing service priorities.
• Right to work in Australia
• 100 points of ID
• Valid Driver Licence and willingness to travel
• Satisfactory National Police Record Check
• International Police Check (if appliable)
• Current Working with Children Check and NDIS Worker Screening Check
• NDIS Worker Orientation Module Certificate – Quality Safety and You

What we will offer you…

• A purpose driven culture where people can thrive, everyone is respected, and differences are valued
• An equitable, diverse, and socially inclusive work environment
• Salary packaging up to $15,899 enables you to spend a portion of your salary before it is taxed to pay for things like rent, mortgage repayments, car leasing
• Meal and Entertainment allowance via salary packaging up to $2,650 per annum
• Receive 17.5% leave loading every time you take annual leave
• Paid parental leave after 12 months of ongoing employment
• Access for you and your family to our Employee Assistance Program

If you're looking for a role where you can lead a team, stay connected to clinical practice and help shape better mental health care in regional communities.
