Offer description

Key Distinctions
* Variety, autonomy, and real‐world impact
* To apply psychology in workplaces, not just therapy rooms
* To see measurable outcomes from your work
Why This Role is Different

At ORS, psychologists don't just "treat" – they drive recovery, behaviour change, and return‐to‐work outcomes.

You Will
* Work with individuals with psychological injuries to support safe return to work
* Conduct work‐focused psychological and vocational assessments
* Identify barriers using evidence‐based tools
* Develop solutions and strategies that are meaningful and impactful
* Apply psychology in real‐world settings—workplaces, employers, systems
* Use approaches such as:
o Motivational interviewing
o Behavioural activation
o Graded exposure
o Work focused cognitive behavioural therapy
* Provide psychosocial advice to employers and stakeholders
* Support career transitions and new employment pathways
What Makes This Role Different Variety
* No two days look the same
* Work across clients, workplaces, and industries
Autonomy
* Control your diary
* Work from home, office and/or in the community
Impact and Relationships
* Help people return to work, rebuild confidence, and re‐engage with life
* Build strong, meaningful, and ongoing relationships with employers, agents and treaters
Evidence‐Based Practices
* ORS are leaders in this space and continually analyse the work we do and implement evidence‐based practices to achieve the best outcomes for our clients
* We work within structured frameworks that are proven
* We are the pioneers of ROSES and a new technological administration and scoring tool
Multidisciplinary Environment
* Work with an amazing team of OTs, EPs, physios, rehabilitation counsellors, employment specialists
* Access opportunities in our other business divisions if desired including clinical psychology and positive behaviour support
What You Won't Be Doing
* Sitting in a room doing 6–8 therapy sessions daily
* Long‐term, open‐ended treatment work
* Working in isolation
What You Will Be Responsible For
* Managing a structured caseload
* Delivering measurable outcomes
* Communicating proactively with stakeholders
* Driving recovery forward – not just maintaining it
What We Offer
* Flexible working (WFH/hybrid work, 9‐day fortnight, part‐time options, flexible start and finish times)
* Full supervision (provisional + general pathways)
* Structured onboarding and competency program
* National psychology team (200+ psychologists)
* Clear career pathways
Who Thrives Here

You're likely to succeed if you:

* Enjoy variety and fast‐paced work
* Are outcomes‐driven and organised
* Like working with structure, accountability and feeling a sense of achievement
* Want to apply psychology beyond therapy
* Are comfortable engaging with employers and systems
Requirements
