About the Role
Classification for this position will be determined by your skills, experience and qualifications, ensuring you are appointed at the level that best reflects your professional capability. Whether joining us as an AHP2 Clinical/Health Psychologist or stepping into the AHP3 Senior Clinical/Health Psychologist role, you will contribute meaningfully to the work of the CALHN Metabolic and Bariatric Clinic (CMBC) as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team dedicated to helping patients achieve sustainable health outcomes.
You will provide high-quality clinical and health psychology assessments and therapeutic interventions, supporting patients to identify barriers to lifestyle change and build the readiness, motivation and skills needed for lasting behavioural modification. At the AHP3 level, you will also contribute to service planning, evaluation, research and continuous improvement initiatives, helping to evolve the CMBC model of care to enhance effectiveness, efficiency and the overall patient experience. Across both classifications, your expertise will play a vital role in empowering patients and supporting their long-term wellbeing.
In this role, you will also join the CALHN Psychology Department. CALHN Psychology offers you the benefits of a large and experienced Psychology team across multiple campuses. Our work practices are designed to foster your clinical skills, knowledge and experience, and to assist you to develop your career further. We provide a supportive environment with supervision, opportunities for CPD, a strong emphasis on development and learning for staff, and networking and research opportunities with other CALHN and SA Health psychologists.
