About the Role

An exciting opportunity exists for a Clinical Lead to join SECASA's Intake and Brief Intervention Team (IBIT) in this newly created leadership position. Reporting to the Manager, Clinical Services and working closely with other Clinical Leads, you will play a key role in strengthening clinical practice and supporting the delivery of high-quality, trauma-informed care to victim-survivors of sexual assault and family violence.

This role blends advanced clinical practice with operational leadership.

This role works across SECASA sites, participates in the Intake and After-Hours Roster, and is open to Social Work and Psychology disciplines.
