About Us
Bright Start Behaviour Support is a small, family-owned practice in Maitland providing neurodiversity-affirming psychology and behaviour support. We work with children, young people, and families to minimise distress and support long-term improvements in quality of life.
We work collaboratively, value curiosity over judgment, and prioritise creating a workplace where people feel safe, supported, and able to grow.
About the Role
We're looking for a Lead Psychologist who brings strong clinical skills and is genuinely passionate about supporting early-career clinicians.
A big part of this role is mentoring and guiding our provisional psychologists, helping them deliver high-quality assessment and therapeutic services, and supporting their confidence as they develop their clinical skills.
In this role, you will:
* Complete psychological assessments and provide evidence-based intervention.
* Mentor and clinically support our provisional psychologists by guiding formulation, modelling reflective practice, and supporting the development of psychometric assessment skills.
* Share facilitation of group supervision with our team of psychologists and behaviour support practitioners to contribute to a reflective, connected, and growth-oriented culture.
* Collaborate closely with our behaviour support practitioners and broader team to create affirming, person-centred supports.
* Contribute to service improvements, resources, and systems that make our work sustainable and impactful.
* Have the opportunity to provide NDIS Registered Behaviour Support if you wish to do so, though this is not a requirement.
About You
You're warm, passionate, and dependable, and you genuinely enjoy helping others grow. You bring clinical experience, patience, kindness, and a willingness to think creatively.
We'd love to hear from you if you:
* Are an AHPRA registered Psychologist (General or Clinical) with experience in assessment and intervention.
* Enjoy supervising, mentoring, or supporting provisional and early career psychologists, though you do not have to be a board certified supervisor.
* Are comfortable contributing to and sharing facilitation of reflective group supervision.
* Value neurodiversity-affirming, person-centred, and trauma-informed practices.
* Communicate with clients, parents, stakeholders, and colleagues with warmth, clarity, and openness.
* Have experience working with autistic clients, ADHDers, or people with diverse support needs.
* Have the right to work in Australia.
Why Work With Us?
* A supportive, connected team that values wellbeing.
* The chance to help shape and lead our psychology team.
* Regular reflective supervision and shared learning opportunities.
* An allowance for robust external supervision to ensure your own continued growth.
* Full-time stability, competitive salary, and opportunities to contribute to service development.
* A workplace where your voice and values are respected.
