We are searching for a specialist mental health practitioner to lead our amazing team of qualified counsellors, experienced support staff and interpreters in our Phoenix Centre Program.
The Phoenix Centre Program provides a range of therapeutic and individual mental health supports, prevention and early intervention, specialist trauma support and capacity building activities to people from a CALD background.

We want someone who shares our values, has a ‘can-do’ attitude, believes in a social justice approach to service design and delivery, and is passionate about making a positive difference for people within our multicultural communities.
You will bring:

- An inclusive and compassionate approach to working with people, demonstrating respect for the different cultural diversities within our organisation and clients.
This is a full time position and can be based in either Launceston or Hobart, with the requirement to travel between the locations on a regular basis.
The salary is between $110,000 and $115,000 per year plus salary packaging to reduce your taxable income. We offer professional supervision, a supportive workplace with flexible work arrangements, professional and career development opportunities, and additional leave days.
