• Grow people and practice: mentor clinicians, build team capability and contribute to clearer professional development pathways.

About The Opportunity

As Principal Clinical Lead, you will provide strategic clinical and operational leadership across the 25-bed Glenhope Close Supervision Unit (CSU) and Forbes Management Unit. The CSU supports prisoners with complex or significant behavioural needs associated with disability, acquired brain injury, mental illness or neurodevelopmental conditions. The Management Unit supports prisoners separated for risk, behavioural or protective reasons.

You will lead embedded unit-based staff, strengthen clinical governance and service coverage, and provide trusted advice on complex behavioural and psychological risk. Working alongside Principal Clinicians and the Principal Clinician, Service Improvement and Outreach Support, you will help deliver coordinated in-reach services and maintain continuity at GEO's Community Reintegration Centre when required.

What you will lead:

• Lead, supervise and develop clinical and behaviour support staff through clear expectations, thoughtful workload management, reflective practice, mentoring and targeted development.
• Strengthen clinical governance by auditing, reviewing and endorsing assessments, Behaviour Support Plans, Individual Intervention Plans and clinical records.
• Ensure plans are evidence-based, risk-responsive and aligned with professional, legislative, human rights and departmental requirements, including scheduled and post-incident reviews.
• Provide specialist assessment, formulation, intervention, planning and reporting for a limited caseload when required.
• Advise on complex clinical and behavioural risk, placement, regimes and behaviour management, modelling trauma-informed practice and Positive Behaviour Support.
• Lead multidisciplinary case, serious incident and critical event reviews, translating insights into practical service and system improvements.
• Build strong partnerships with custodial leaders, executives, clinicians, disability providers, and forensic and mental health services.
• Coordinate transitions across the CSU, Management Unit, general population and external services to maintain continuity of care.
• Use activity, trend, incident and outcome data to inform service planning, policy, resourcing and continuous improvement.
• Contribute expert advice to case management and placement decisions, supporting prisoners' participation, progression and completion.
• Provide monthly and quarterly reports to the Clinical Manager, supervise students where appropriate and maintain professional competence through ongoing development and supervision.
• Represent GEO in relevant networks and forums, championing organisational objectives and advocating for the needs of the client group.

What you will bring:

• Registration as a psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA); eligibility for Australian Association of Social Workers membership; credentialling as a Mental Health Nurse; or registration as an Occupational Therapist.
• Substantial experience in forensic, correctional or complex disability and behavioural settings.
• A strong record of leading and clinically supervising psychologists or multidisciplinary allied health teams, including workforce, performance and wellbeing management.
• Advanced knowledge of behavioural theory, Positive Behaviour Support, risk-need-responsivity, trauma-informed practice and evidence-based therapies.
• Expertise in complex risk assessment, formulation, treatment and behaviour support planning across mental health, disability and offending domains.
• Experience leading clinical governance, quality assurance, documentation and incident review in secure or high-risk/high-need services.
• Sound judgement, ethical reasoning and composure when balancing competing priorities and dual-role tensions.
• Highly developed communication, negotiation and influencing skills across custodial, clinical, executive and external stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and writing skills, with the ability to turn clinical information and service data into clear, defensible advice.
• A commitment to reflective practice, supervision, cultural safety and equitable trauma-informed care, including for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
