For a child experiencing difficulties at school, being understood is only the beginning. What happens next matters: the support they receive, the confidence they build and the people around them working together. At Learning Links, you will have a genuine opportunity to influence and lead a team of 6 to 8 registered and provisional psychologists, keep your own clinical practice and help turn that understanding into practical support for children and families.

A shared focus on children’s learning

For more than 50 years, Learning Links has supported children with learning difficulties. Our work brings together psychology, speech pathology and education, in partnership with families and schools.

Based at Alexandria, you and your team will work in our clinic, in schools and online with children from 3 years to their teens, and their families. The work is varied, spanning specific learning disorders, autism, ADHD, global developmental delay, emotional and social wellbeing, and family support.

Shape how the psychology service operates, working with the Head of Allied Health and Operations and Principal Psychologist to strengthen clinical practice, workforce capability and service delivery. You’ll lead the people and day-to-day performance of the psychology team, while partnering with our Principal Psychologist on clinical standards, supervision and practice development.

A team you can know and develop

• Develop your team through coaching, case discussions, induction and constructive feedback.
• Stay clinically active, maintain a 40% caseload delivering assessments and interventions within your scope of practice.
• Support consistent care, with sound clinical judgement, timely reports and clear communication with families and schools.
• Help the service work well, collaborating on caseloads and service delivery, setting clear expectations and addressing concerns early.
• Innovate with other allied health professionals, collaborating across psychology, speech pathology and education to develop new programs, assessment pathways and resources for children and families.

What you will bring

• Current general registration as a psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia, through AHPRA.
• At least five years’ experience practicing as a generally registered psychologist.
• Experience in child assessment and intervention, with a genuine interest in learning and neurodevelopment.
• Experience mentoring or developing colleagues, sound clinical judgement and clear, compassionate communication.

We welcome experienced team leaders and senior psychologists ready for their first formal leadership role and will support you to develop as a people leader. You will be committed to evidence-based, strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming practice.

Experience we value. Skills we can help you build.

Autism assessment experience is desirable, not essential.

We can support you to build this capability through training and supervised practice.

Board-approved supervisor status is desirable, not essential.

You may already hold approval from the Psychology Board of Australia, or be ready to work towards it. We can support you through that development, subject to the AHPRA requirements.

What’s on offer

• Clinical supervision, with guidance from our Principal Psychologist
• Eight development days a year: four professional and four leadership
• Leadership coaching and our People Leader program
• University partnerships, with access to training and research
• Salary packaging of up to $18,549 a year for eligible employees
