About YCP

Our current team members are happy to chat to potential interviewees about the culture of YCP.

YCP is a small private practice that has built a reputation for the provision of compassionate and effective psychological services. We see a broad range of clients who access our services through various funding streams including private funding, Medicare, NDIS, and Melbourne City Mission. We work with young adults, adults, and older adults. We have invested in a highly skilled on-site administrative support team who are valued by our clinicians and clients alike. Our office is conveniently located on the east end of Swan St, Richmond, close to public transport, and provides comfortable and private consulting rooms. Currently, we are seeing our clients either via telehealth or face-to-face within government guidelines.

What you will receive

This position will allow you to continue developing your leadership, supervision, and clinical skills. We strive to create a supportive environment for our clinicians that includes opportunities for supervision, debriefing, and professional development. We aim to establish sustainable workloads for our clinicians to help ensure you flourish at work and to feel confident that you can provide high quality services to your clients. Your wage will depend on your experience and skills but will be between $55 and $65 per hour (plus superannuation). In addition to annual leave, you will be offered a week of study leave (pro-rated). A CPD allowance of $1000 per year (pro-rated) will be included. If you would prefer to join the practice as an associate rather than an employee, we are happy to discuss this.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a compassionate and non-judgmental psychologist, with at least 5 years’ experience post full-registration, who is a board-approved supervisor. It is important that you are able to be autonomous while also enjoying collaboration with your team members. The right person will be passionate about helping the next generation of psychologists develop their skills, understand evidence-based practice, establish healthy work practices, and build confidence. You will also believe in ongoing personal and professional development. A current Police Check, Working with Children check, and NDIS worker clearance is required before commencing work.

We would particularly like to hear from you if you are experienced and passionate about working with clients who we currently have a high demand from; this includes people with complex trauma, complex mental health presentations, eating disordered behaviours, and/or a neurodivergence. However, if you have something to offer that is not currently provided by our clinic, we would love to hear from you! We are always pleased to find team members who represent the diverse range of people we provide services to.

Why you might want to work with YCP
