Job Description
Why This Role is Different
If you’re looking for:
Back-to-back therapy sessions
Sitting in a clinic all day
No performance accountability
This isn’t the role for you.
But if you want:
Variety, autonomy, and real-world impact
To apply psychology in workplaces, not just therapy rooms
To see measurable outcomes from your work
Keep reading.
The Role: Psychology That Changes Outcomes
At ORS, psychologists don’t just “treat” - they drive recovery, behaviour change, and return to work outcomes.
You will:
Work with individuals with psychological injuries to support safe return to work
Conduct work-focused psychological and vocational assessments
Identify barriers using evidence-based tools
Develop solutions and strategies that are meaningful and impactful
Apply psychology in real-world settings - workplaces, employers, systems
Use approaches like:
Motivational interviewing
Behavioural activation
Graded exposure
Work focused cognitive behavioural therapy
Provide psychosocial advice to employers and stakeholders
Support career transitions and new employment pathways
This is applied, practical, and outcomes-driven psychology.
What Makes This Role Different
Variety
No two days look the same
Work across clients, workplaces, and industries
Autonomy
Control your diary
Work from home, office and/or in the community
Impact and Relationships
Help people return to work, rebuild confidence, and re-engage with life
Build strong, meaningful, and ongoing relationships with employers, agents and treaters
Evidence-Based Practices
ORS are leaders in this space and continually analyse the work we do and implement evidence-based practices to achieve the best outcomes for our clients
We work within structured frameworks that are proven
We are the pioneers of ROSES and a new technological administration and scoring tool
Multidisciplinary Environment
Work with an amazing team of OTs, EPs, physios, rehabilitation counsellors, employment specialists
Access opportunities in our other business divisions if desired including clinical psychology and positive behaviour support
What You Won’t Be Doing
Sitting in a room doing 6 - 8 therapy sessions daily
Long-term, open-ended treatment work
Working in isolation
What You Will Be Responsible For
Managing a structured caseload
Delivering measurable outcomes
Communicating proactively with stakeholders
Driving recovery forward - not just maintaining it
