About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced senior headspace clinician who can provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions to young people aged 12-25 years, their families and supports.

This role requires a clinician who brings depth of practice, sound clinical judgement and confidence working at a senior level. The successful candidate will demonstrate advanced capability in assessment, engagement, treatment planning, risk formulation and therapeutic support within a youth-friendly, strengths-based and recovery-oriented framework. In addition to providing direct clinical care, the role will contribute to the development of clinical capability across the headspace team by supporting, guiding and mentoring early-career clinicians, modelling high-quality practice and contributing to a reflective, safe and collaborative clinical culture.

The role will support young people presenting with moderate mental health concerns, and at times more complex needs, through individual counselling, brief intervention, group-based programs and coordinated care in collaboration with the broader headspace multidisciplinary team.

Candidates with relevant qualifications in Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Mental Health Nursing, Registered Nursing, Counselling or other recognised mental health disciplines are encouraged to apply. Demonstrated experience working at a senior clinical level, including the ability to provide informal clinical leadership, consultation and support to less experienced clinicians, will be essential.

headspace, and FocusOne Health as our lead agency, offers a supportive environment, working with a multidisciplinary team of mental health professionals and organisational specialists, to support your professional development. Access to significant Professional Development opportunities are available, including support to obtain accreditation for your profession (where eligible).

We are committed to achieving a diverse workforce and strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

The successful applicant will be remunerated in accordance with FocusOne Health's Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) dependent on skills, experience, and qualifications. We offer flexible terms and conditions and attractive salary packaging arrangements. For more information about salary packaging, p lease visit Discover salary packaging - Community Business Bureau ( ).

Comprehensive onboarding and induction to the role will be provided to the successful applicant.

We reserve the right to appoint to the role prior to the application closure date.

The transition of headspace Port Augusta to Youturn as Lead Agency marks an exciting chapter for mental health and wellbeing services in the region. While honouring the service's history and community connections, we are committed to strengthening opportunities for young people, families and communities through innovative, inclusive and person-centred care.

Some opportunities aren't about starting something new. They're about taking something important and helping it grow.

As Youturn prepares to commence delivery of the established headspace Port Augusta service and its outreach locations, we're seeking an experienced and passionate Centre Manager to lead the service into its next phase of growth, innovation and community impact.

This is a unique opportunity to honour the strong foundations already in place while bringing your leadership, vision and expertise to strengthen services for young people, families and communities across Port Augusta, Oodnadatta, Marree, Leigh Creek, Hawker, Yalata and Quorn.

If you're an experienced people leader who believes in youth participation, community connection, culturally safe practice, and delivering high-quality mental health services, we'd love to hear from you.

Every young person deserves access to support, connection, and hope for their future.

As Centre Manager, you'll play a critical role in ensuring young people can access integrated, youth-friendly, family-inclusive services across mental health, physical and sexual health, alcohol and other drugs, and work and study support.

Most importantly, you'll help build a culture where young people feel heard, respected, safe, and supported.

You'll:

• Lead the operational, clinical and administrative functions of the service.
• Build, mentor and inspire a multidisciplinary team to deliver outstanding outcomes for young people.
• Foster strong relationships with local communities, service providers, consortium partners and key stakeholders.
• Oversee service quality, governance, reporting, compliance and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Drive community engagement and ensure services remain accessible, inclusive and responsive to local needs.
• Use data, feedback and service insights to continuously improve outcomes and strengthen service delivery.
• Champion youth participation, family-inclusive practice and culturally safe approaches across all aspects of service delivery.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking a leader who combines strategic thinking with genuine compassion.

Someone who can bring people together, navigate complexity, and inspire others around a shared vision for supporting young people and their communities.

Essential Qualifications

You'll hold:

• Degree qualifications in Allied Health, Social Work, Behavioural or Social Sciences, Mental Health Nursing, Occupational Therapy or another relevant health-related discipline.
• Current professional registration, accreditation or membership relevant to your discipline, including AHPRA registration or AASW membership/eligibility where applicable.

You'll bring demonstrated experience in:

• Leading health, mental health, youth, or community service programs.
• Managing multidisciplinary teams, including recruitment, supervision, coaching, performance development and workforce planning.
• Clinical governance, quality improvement, risk management and service evaluation.
• Contract, funding and operational management, including reporting against organisational and funding requirements.
• Developing and maintaining partnerships across health, community and government sectors.
• Using service and workforce data to drive performance, identify opportunities and improve outcomes.
• Delivering youth-focused and family-inclusive services within complex service environments.

You'll have strong capability in:

• Clinical governance and integrated service delivery models.
• Mental health and community-based health service systems.
• Project management, organisational development and service planning.
• Continuous quality improvement, risk management and compliance frameworks.
• Electronic client management and reporting systems.
• Stakeholder engagement and collaborative service delivery.

Residential care is complex, fast-moving and incredibly important work.

As Team Manager - Care Services, you'll take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of one of Junction's residential care homes in Wodonga, leading the team of Residential Care Workers who support the young people living there.

This is a hands-on operational leadership role. You'll manage people, practice, risk, compliance and the everyday running of the house, while working closely with Case Managers and the broader care team to make sure each young person receives safe, consistent and trauma-informed care.

Some days will run to plan. Others won't.

You'll need to be comfortable making decisions, responding when things change, supporting staff through challenging situations and balancing the immediate needs of the house with the bigger picture for each young person.

If you enjoy being close to the work, developing people and creating structure in a complex environment, there's plenty of opportunity to make this role your own.

There isn't really a "typical" day, but you can expect your role to include:

• Leading your team: providing formal and informal supervision, coaching staff, giving feedback, addressing practice issues and supporting professional development.
• Running the house: overseeing staffing, administrative requirements, house meetings and the practical day-to-day operations that keep the home functioning.
• Keeping an eye on risk: identifying and responding to risks relating to young people, staff and service delivery and making sure appropriate plans and safeguards are in place.
• Maintaining strong practice: making sure your team understands expectations and consistently delivers strengths-based, child-centred and therapeutic care.
• Working through the tough moments: supporting your team to respond to incidents, conflict, changing behaviours and other challenges that are part of working with young people with complex support needs.
• Keeping case plans moving: working closely with Case Managers and Residential Care Workers so agreed goals and strategies translate into what happens in the house every day.
• Making sure young people are heard: involving young people in house planning and decisions and ensuring their needs, goals and views remain central to their care.
• Bringing the right people together: liaising with families, Case Managers, government departments, health and education providers and other services.
• Staying on top of quality and compliance: maintaining records, monitoring practice and ensuring the house meets Junction's policies, care standards and legislative requirements.
• Stepping into direct care when needed: this is not a purely office-based management position. You may be required to work directly with young people or complete residential shifts when operationally required.

That last point is particularly worth being transparent about: the PD specifically requires the Team Manager to undertake direct care and, when required, work shifts across Junction's residential houses.

To be considered, you must hold a relevant Bachelor's degree, such as:

Social Work Community Services Disability or another relevant discipline

You'll also need:

• Demonstrated understanding of complex trauma and the developmental and therapeutic needs of young people requiring protective care
• The ability to lead, direct, support and develop both permanent and casual employees
• Confidence managing challenging situations and supporting teams through change
• Strong risk assessment and risk management capability
• Highly developed interpersonal skills and the ability to engage young people and staff empathetically and without judgement
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong negotiation, conflict resolution and crisis management skills.

You don't need to pretend residential care is easy.

We're looking for someone who understands that good leadership in this environment means being present, consistent and accountable.

You can have difficult conversations when they're needed. You can support a staff member without avoiding performance issues. You can respond calmly when something doesn't go to plan, and you know when to escape an issue or ask for support.

Most importantly, you understand that the routines, decisions and culture within a residential house have a direct impact on the young people who live there.

Junction Support Services is an award-winning regional not-for-profit organisation supporting around 2,500 people each year across 12 Local Government Areas in Ovens Murray, Goulburn, Gippsland and regional NSW. Team Manager - Care Services V2

Our work is underpinned by Respect, Collaboration, Innovation, Integrity, and Inclusion and Diversity, with trauma-informed, client-centred and goal-directed practice at the heart of our services.

If you have the qualifications, experience and leadership skills to take responsibility for a residential care home and its team, we'd love to hear from you.
