A CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST ROLE WHERE YOU CAN THRIVE, NOT JUST 'COPE'
Are you an experienced child psychologist looking for a role where you can focus on meaningful, high-quality therapy without the stress of overwhelming caseloads, constant crisis management or relentless admin pressure?
At Kids First Children's Services in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, we do things differently. We know that working with children and families is incredibly rewarding - but it can also be demanding. That’s why we’ve built a supportive, collaborative workplace where your well-being is just as important as the support you provide to your clients.
With manageable caseloads, dedicated admin time, and a multi-disciplinary team working alongside you, you’ll have the balance you need to do great work and enjoy life outside of it.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT?
No more unrealistic KPIs. We ensure your workload is achievable, so you can focus on quality care instead of constant burnout.
With dedicated admin time, ‘Early Finish Fridays,’ and a supportive team, you’ll have the boundaries you need to enjoy your work and your life.
No more working in isolation! At Kids First, you’ll be part of a multi-disciplinary team where speech pathologists, OTs, and early intervention teachers work together to support children’s needs.
Whether you want to develop special interests, refine your clinical skills, or explore leadership opportunities, we support your career goals through ongoing professional development and a strong peer network.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Competitive salary, a generous PD allowance, and a Remuneration & Rewards program that recognises your contributions.
Robust Support
With a Clinical Operations Manager, experienced multi-disciplinary colleagues and a dedicated Customer Service Team managing bookings and logistics, you can focus on what you do best - supporting children and families.
At Kids First, we genuinely enjoy working together. We value collaboration, learning, and connection, and we make time for professional development, such as weekly 'Psychology Hubs', fortnightly multi-disciplinary case conferences and quarterly team development days. Social gatherings, team celebrations, and the occasional chocolate-fuelled brainstorming session are also part of life at Kids First!
Our award-winning multi-disciplinary team includes child psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and early intervention teachers, all working together to support children aged 4-18. Driven by our Core Values of Care, Kindness, Compassion, and Making a Contribution, we offer a workplace that feels more like a professional community.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
To be successful in this role, you must meet the following essential criteria :
1. Full registration with AHPRA as a Registered Psychologist
2. Eligibility for a Medicare Provider Number
3. Minimum of three years’ experience as a registered psychologist working with children and adolescents
4. Sydney-based and within a comfortable commute to Brookvale, NSW
5. Strong skills in psychological assessment, therapy, and intervention planning for children aged 4-18
6. Comfortable working collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team
7. Excellent report writing skills (for NDIS, schools, and other referral pathways)
IS THIS THE RIGHT ROLE FOR YOU?
We’re looking for someone who wants more than just a job - someone who is passionate about making a lasting impact in the lives of children and families.
If you’re a dedicated, experienced psychologist looking for a career where you’ll feel valued, supported, and able to thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
