About YEPS
YEPS is a specialty programme of the Infant, Child, and Youth Mental Health Service (ICYMHS).

YEPS is a multi-disciplinary team that provides early intervention and treatment to young people aged 16-25 who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis and live in the Banyule and Nillumbik local government areas.

YEPS clinicians provide evidence-based, phase-specific treatment for young consumers and support to their families or carers, and utilise the Austin Health Early Psychosis Treatment Guidelines.

The service operates within business hours.

Currently the team is situated on the Austin Campus however relocation in Heidelberg is expected in 2023.

Travel will be expected between campuses as required and in an outreach capacity for the purposes of fulfilling the needs of the allocated caseload.

About the role

The Youth Mental Health Clinician works closely with the YEPS multidisciplinary team, under the direction of the Program Manager, Team Leader, and the Consultant Psychiatrist, and with additional support from the relevant discipline senior to provide holistic and recovery-orientated case management to young people accessing the service.

Treatments offered include medication, psychotherapy, family work, alcohol and other drug support, and vocational support.

The team work collaboratively in practice and draw on a strong understanding of systems approaches and frameworks to complex care and case management.

Outreach and engaging young people within their community is a key aspect of the role.

As a Youth Mental Health Clinician it is expected that you will work collaboratively with YEPS clinicians and broader ICYMHS staff and teams to support young people who find it difficult to engage in office-based services and are at risk of harm.

A relevant professional qualification in a health-related discipline (social work, occupational therapy, psychology, psychiatric nursing, or speech pathology) and current registration with the relevant professional board, association, or college
Experience in working systemically with children and adolescents who have mental illness and difficulties engaging in recovery, as well as their families and their system of care and support, including individual, outreach and carerfocused clinical services
