Psychology Honours Graduate – Administrative support

Are you a high-achieving psychology Honours graduate looking to gain meaningful clinical experience before applying for Masters training?

Sydney Cognitive Development Centre is seeking an exceptional psychology graduate to join our team in a unique role combining clinical administration, operations, and systems development.

This position is ideal for someone who has completed a four-year psychology degree (including Honours) and is looking to strengthen their experience within a private psychology practice while developing a deep understanding of assessment, clinical services, practice operations, and patient care.

This is not a standard administration role.

We are looking for someone highly intelligent, exceptionally organised, systems-oriented, and passionate about creating efficient processes. You will work closely with the Director of the practice and play an important role in helping improve the systems, workflows, and day-to-day functioning of the clinic.

About Us

Sydney Cognitive Development Centre is a well-established private psychology practice in Bondi Junction providing comprehensive assessments and therapy services for children, adolescents, and adults.

We pride ourselves on delivering thorough, evidence-based services and providing a high standard of care to every client.

About the Role

This role combines administration, operations, project work, and systems improvement.

Responsibilities

• Managing enquiries and client bookings
• Coordinating assessment appointments and documentation
• Ensuring forms, reports, and clinical documents are organised correctly
• Monitoring administrative workflows and identifying inefficiencies
• Assisting with development of clinic procedures and manuals
• Supporting implementation of automation systems and technology solutions
• Improving client communication systems
• Maintaining accurate records and quality-control processes
• Working closely with clinicians to ensure smooth service delivery
• Contributing ideas to improve efficiency, organisation, and patient experience

Who We’re Looking For

• Completion of a four-year psychology degree
• Strong academic record
• Exceptional organisational skills
• Outstanding attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent problem-solving ability
• High level of computer literacy
• Ability to manage multiple competing priorities

Highly Desirable

• Experience working in a psychology or healthcare setting
• Interest in systems design, workflow optimisation, and business operations
• Experience with automation platforms, AI tools, or project management software
• Strong executive functioning skills and ability to work independently

The Type of Person Who Will Thrive Here

• You enjoy creating order from chaos.
• You notice details that others miss.
• You naturally look for better ways of doing things.
• You like systems, checklists, automation, and process improvement.
• You are proactive, resourceful, and take ownership of problems rather than waiting for someone else to solve them.
• Most importantly, you are reliable, organised, and committed to maintaining a high standard of work.

What You’ll Gain

This role provides valuable exposure to private practice psychology and offers a unique opportunity to learn how a successful psychology clinic operates behind the scenes. This role provides exposure to clinical service delivery, psychological assessment processes, practice operations and healthcare administration. You will also develop experience in systems development and quality assurance while working closely alongside experienced psychologists and gaining insight into the day-to-day operation of a psychology practice.

This experience may be particularly valuable for graduates seeking future entry into postgraduate psychology programs.
