About the Opportunity:

Roles like this do not come along often. This is a real opportunity to bring your clinical skills to a values-driven organisation that genuinely lives its values, where leadership is close and approachable, the culture feels like family, and your work makes a tangible difference in the local community.

An exciting opportunity has now arisen for an experienced and passionate Senior Mental Health Clinician to join the iREACH team based in Murray Bridge. You will have an amazing opportunity to make a genuine difference in the lives of people, families, and communities through trauma-informed, person-centred care, supporting individuals experiencing substance misuse and co‑occurring mental health conditions.

The role primarily works with clients aged 18 and over, however with scope to also support the youth, if you have experience in this area.

This is a rare and varied role, where you will deliver high-quality clinical care across individual and group programs, contributing your senior expertise to a fantastic & happy multidisciplinary team. This is your chance to build key relationships that help clients get the right support at the right time, all within a supportive, passionate environment where people genuinely care about the work and each other.

Key Responsibilities:

This hands‑on senior clinical role will see real variety! Reporting to the Clinical Team Leader and Centre Manager, you will carry a clinical caseload of 5 clients per day with full admin support, while:

• Working directly with clients experiencing substance misuse and co‑occurring mental health conditions, delivering evidence‑based, trauma‑informed care through both individual and group programs.


• Learning each client's full story through thoughtful assessment, formulation, and risk management, then shape recovery‑oriented care plans that meet them where they are.


• Bringing your voice to the team's thinking, contributing to case reviews and integrated care planning so support is genuinely connected and seamless.


• Building strong referral pathways with external services, helping clients with co‑occurring conditions move smoothly to the right support.


• Keeping care safe and accountable, maintaining sharp documentation and contributing to clinical governance, peer review, and everyday service improvement.


• Championing evidence‑based, trauma‑informed practice, and help nurture a culture of safety, compliance, and continuous improvement.


• Building genuine, collaborative relationships across services, internal teams, sister organisations, and the community, getting involved in engagement that grows iREACH's presence.


• Creating a warm, welcoming and gentle client‑centred space that people feel comfortable walking into.

To be successful in this role you will have:

• A qualification in Social Work, Psychology, Nursing or Occupational Therapy with a current AHPRA registration or Mental Health Accreditation with AASW.


• Demonstrated experience within counselling, assessment and diagnosis, CBT, or other evidence‑based therapies within your discipline.


• Significant clinical experience working with people experiencing substance misuse and/or mental health issues. Experience across both is ideal, however if your background sits strongly in one, we encourage you to apply.


• Experience working within a multidisciplinary team and with clients who have complex psychosocial needs.


• A commitment to a culturally safe, inclusive, and trauma‑informed practice.


• High emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to stay composed in pressured situations.


• A strong and engaging communication style that builds trust quickly with clients, colleagues, and external partners.


• A commitment to ethics, confidentiality, and mandatory notification obligations.


• A valid Working with Children Check, or willingness to obtain.
