Description
Senior Practitioner – Clinical
0.75 FTE Remote SCHADS Level 7 ($60.27 hourly)
Immediate Start
We’re looking for someone exceptional.
We’re filling a newly vacant Senior Practitioner role within our clinical team – a position that blends leadership, advanced clinical expertise, digital service delivery, and the emotional intelligence to support a team doing highly complex work.
We’re seeking an experienced Senior Clinical Practitioner – not an entry-level or newly registered clinician. This role requires demonstrated experience operating at senior practitioner level, including clinical decision-making, risk oversight, and supporting others in complex presentations.
If you’re an experienced senior practitioner who thrives in digital environments, can hold steady clinical boundaries, lead with empathy, think critically, and support safe decision-making in a fast-paced remote mental health setting, this may be exactly the next chapter you’ve been searching for.
About Us
PANDA is a values-driven, national mental health organisation committed to supporting families through the perinatal period. Our work is grounded in lived experience, guided by our Model of Care, and delivered through a remote service that prioritises psychological safety, compassion and evidence-based practice.
We work in a fully remote environment that prioritises psychological safety, collaboration, flexibility and genuine connection. We believe in holding each other with care, making clear decisions, maintaining strong boundaries, and creating environments where both our people and service users feel safe.
Everything we do is grounded in child-centric practice. Whether supporting a parent, guiding a practitioner, or shaping our digital service, the wellbeing and safety of infants and children sits at the centre of every decision we make. We hold families with compassion, respect and clarity always keeping the smallest voices in mind.
If you want to lead in a place where humanity and high standards co-exist, you’ll feel aligned here.
Who You Are
You’re a senior clinician with deep experience supporting complex presentations, preferably in mental health, family services, or a related therapeutic environment.
You bring:
The ability to hold emotional and clinical space while also making sound business decisions
A child-centric approach to your clinical thinking, ensuring decisions protect and prioritise the wellbeing of infants and children at every step.
High digital literacy and confidence navigating complex systems. You’re comfortable leading in a fully online environment, and quick to adapt to new platforms, workflows and digital ways of working.
The calm confidence to lead in uncertainty
Skill in coaching and guiding practitioners in a digital environment
Excellent judgement, risk assessment and escalation capability
Curiosity, humility and adaptability (ego-free leadership is essential)
Strong remote communication and collaboration habits
A values-led, person-centred approach to practice
Comfort with change, because change is constant and you lean in, not away
About the Role
As our Senior Practitioner – Clinical, you’ll play a central role in ensuring the clinical safety and wellbeing of both service users, their children and our practitioner team.
