Are you a mental health clinician who thrives in fast-paced, meaningful work and wants to make a real impact in suicide prevention? I'm partnering with a leading regional Victorian mental health service to help them welcome a passionate clinician into their Hospital Outreach Post-Suicidal Engagement (HOPE) team.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a truly purpose-driven role providing assertive outreach, therapeutic intervention and short-term aftercare for people in crisis. You'll work across inpatient, emergency and community settings, supported by a team that genuinely lives its values and invests heavily in professional development, wellbeing, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
About the Role
Provide specialist assessments, safety planning and targeted therapeutic interventions for people post-suicide attempt or experiencing significant suicidal ideation.
Deliver assertive outreach and coordinated aftercare in both inpatient and community environments.
Work closely with emergency services, mental health triage, lived-experience workers, families and carers to create a safe, recovery-oriented network around each consumer.
Contribute to service development, continuous improvement and community education initiatives.
Participate in evidence-based suicide prevention training frameworks including CAMS, STARS, and Engage-Understand-Respond.
This role suits clinicians who value autonomy, teamwork, supported decision-making practices and high-quality, person-centred care.
About You
Qualification & registration as a Psychologist, Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Therapist or Social Worker.
Clinical experience supporting people experiencing suicidality, acute presentations, or complex mental health needs.
A trauma-informed, culturally sensitive and recovery-oriented practice style.
Strong clinical assessment, documentation and communication skills.
Experience working with at-risk groups (e.g., Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, CALD, LGBTQIA+, youth, disability).
A Victorian Driver's Licence, National Police Check & WWCC (or willingness to obtain).
Provisional Psychologists are encouraged to apply – supervision is available.
What's on Offer
A supportive, values-driven workplace with strong leadership and a genuinely warm culture.
Extensive internal & external professional development, including scholarships for postgraduate study.
Salary packaging, onsite parking, staff café, EAP, and wellbeing programs.
A highly collaborative multidisciplinary environment.
Opportunities to shape service delivery and contribute to meaningful community impact.
