Job description

Meaningful connections. A commitment to learning. Care that makes a difference.

Good therapy begins with connection. At Dural Psychology, we value the warmth, curiosity and care that help people feel comfortable, understood and able to work towards change.

We’re looking for a Psychologist to join our team as a contractor, two days per week, who shares these values and enjoys being part of a friendly, collaborative practice.

Based in Dural, Northwest Sydney, our established practice supports adolescents and adults with a range of presentations. We have an established referral network, steady new enquiries and a current client waiting list. Our team matches referrals to your clinical interests, expertise and availability, with caseload growth influenced by these factors and client preferences.

Warmth and care are at the heart of our practice

We believe people need to feel comfortable, understood and cared for. The kindness, patience and compassion we bring to our interactions are foundational to how we work, with clients and with one another.

We want clients to feel welcomed, respected and involved in their care, from their first conversation with our admin team through to their work with our psychologist.

Within our team, we value friendly, approachable colleagues who communicate thoughtfully, support one another, share ideas and value the contribution of both clinicians and administrative staff.

Excellence means continuing to learn

We care about doing our work well. That means providing evidence-based treatment, working towards meaningful client goals and regularly reflecting on progress. It also means bringing care and attention to the everyday details that help clients feel supported throughout their experience with us.

We value psychologists who remain curious about their work, reflect on their clinical decisions and seek opportunities to develop their skills.

To support this, we offer:

• Optional monthly individual clinical consultation
• Opportunities to exchange ideas and learn from colleagues
• A team that values reflection, consultation and continued growth

Support that gives you space for clinical work

Our admin team manages:

• Client enquiries and bookings
• Billing and payments
• Scheduling, cancellations and rescheduling

Our practice is fully paperless, with clinical notes and scheduling managed through our practice management system.

We take your preferred client ages, presentations and areas of competence into account when matching referrals, so you can develop a caseload suited to your skills and interests.

A sustainable way to work

We believe psychologists need time and energy to care for themselves as well as their clients.

We support a manageable workload, space for breaks and clinical administration, and a culture where taking leave is normal and encouraged.

The practice provides consulting rooms, administrative support, referral management and systems, with a competitive percentage-based contractor fee arrangement.

We also have an established cancellation policy, with our admin team managing the associated communication and billing.

Who would feel at home here?

We’d love to hear from a psychologist who:

• Holds current AHPRA registration as a psychologist
• Is warm, friendly and approachable
• Builds rapport easily and helps people feel comfortable and understood
• Cares deeply about clients and the quality of their care
• Communicates clearly, respectfully and thoughtfully with clients and colleagues
• Is open-minded, curious and receptive to feedback and different perspectives
• Is committed to professional development and ongoing learning
• Values evidence-based practice, collaborative treatment goals and meaningful client outcomes
• Enjoys working independently while contributing to a supportive team

Experience or an interest in trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR, would be highly regarded but is not essential.
