Ready to take the next step in your leadership career?

We're looking for an experienced Allied Health or Behaviour Support professional who loves supporting people, developing practitioners and helping teams do their best work.

This is an opportunity to step into a genuine leadership role while staying connected to practice through a small clinical caseload.

You'll lead a manageable multidisciplinary team and work directly with our Operations Manager, alongside experienced Clinical Leads and Supervisors.

You don't need to be the clinical expert in every discipline.

We're looking for someone who can lead people, build relationships, solve problems and create an environment where practitioners feel supported to deliver high-quality work.

About HandinHand

HandinHand Mental Health & Disability is a growing national allied health and behaviour support organisation.

Our multidisciplinary team includes Behaviour Support Practitioners, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Social Workers and Speech Pathologists supporting children, young people and adults across Australia.

We're highly values-led, with quality, ethical practice, practitioner development and genuinely person-centred support at the heart of how we work.

What You'll Be Doing

As Team Leader, you'll support the day-to-day leadership and performance of a manageable practitioner team.

You'll:

• Lead, mentor and support Allied Health and Behaviour Support practitioners

• Support practitioner development, wellbeing and performance

• Coordinate caseloads, capacity and referral allocation

• Help remove barriers affecting practitioners or service delivery

• Support quality documentation and service expectations

• Work alongside Clinical Leads and Supervisors on complex clinical matters

• Contribute to quality, continuous improvement and service development

• Maintain a small clinical caseload to stay connected to practice

You'll be supported by our Operations Manager, Clinical Leads, Supervisors, Intake, Administration and broader leadership team.

Who We're Looking For

You may be an experienced:

Occupational Therapist | Psychologist | Social Worker | Speech Pathologist | Nurse | Behaviour Support Practitioner

You don't necessarily need to already hold a Team Leader title.

We'd particularly like to hear from experienced Senior Practitioners who are already mentoring, supervising or supporting others and are ready to take the next step into formal leadership.

You'll ideally bring:

• Experience within Allied Health, Behaviour Support, disability or NDIS services

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills

• Experience mentoring, supervising or developing practitioners

• Sound professional judgement and a solutions-focused approach

• Confidence balancing people, service and operational priorities

• A genuine commitment to ethical, high-quality and person-centred practice

Formal leadership experience is highly regarded but isn't essential for the right experienced practitioner.

Why HandinHand?

We want our leaders to have the support they need to lead well.

You'll have:

• Flexible hybrid working

• Full-time or 4-day option

• Small clinical caseload

• A manageable practitioner team

• Experienced Clinical Leads and Supervisors

• Direct support from the Operations Manager

• Regular multidisciplinary professional development

• Opportunities to mentor and develop others

• A genuine voice in how our services evolve

• A pathway into broader service and operational leadership

As HandinHand continues to grow nationally, this role offers the opportunity to grow with us.

Help great practitioners do their best work.

If you're an experienced practitioner who enjoys bringing out the best in others and you're ready for your next career step, we'd love to hear from you.
