Our work in Forensic Intervention Services (FIS) starts with the belief that every person has the capacity to change and deserves the opportunity to make that change. By building connections with people who have offended (we call them service users) based on trust, professionalism, and empathy, we enable violent and sexual offenders to address their behaviour and develop insights that lead to better choices and a more constructive role in the community at the end of their sentence.
Led by highly respected leaders with a clear vision, we are transforming the way clinical forensic intervention is delivered in Australia and fast gaining national and international recognition.
We are in a period of exciting growth with a number of new clinical opportunities. Right now, we are looking for Principal Clinicians to build first-rate teams who want to focus on clinical practice - without responsibility for the ‘line management’ of their teams.
Our aim is to create a safe environment where we can help service users – understand their maladaptive behaviours and equip them with better decision-making abilities.
Using best practice assessment and treatment tools in both group and individual sessions, we work as a multifaceted team combining skills from a variety of disciplines including psychology, social work, occupational therapy and mental health nursing.
Reporting to the General Manager, this is a unique opportunity to build your clinical leadership skills while also having the time to manage a caseload and put your real passion into practice.
As well as building an outstanding industry profile in forensic intervention, you will play a key part in developing a world class program area within Corrections Victoria.
We provide support for your career, professional development and well-being in a variety of ways including highly valued clinical supervision and mentoring, ongoing professional development, scholarships, conferences and funding for industry registrations.
