Psychologist (PSS-CFRP/PSG)

The Psychological and Social Services (PSS) provides specialised psychological services to children, youth and families in the areas of abuse and trauma recovery, family resilience and parenting, and forensic mental health. The Centre for Family Resilience and Parenting (CFRP) works to strengthen parenting and family relationships so that children can grow up in safer, more stable, and supportive family environments. We work with families both preventatively and where significant parenting difficulties or relational ruptures have already occurred. Through targeted parenting and family interventions, we work with caregivers, children and families to strengthen parenting capacity, improve family functioning, and build or repair parent-child and family relationships. Our work aims to support meaningful and sustainable changes in caregiving and family relationships, while reducing the risk of difficulties recurring or escalating. As a specialist centre for parenting and family-focused psychological practice, CFRP contributes to advancing evidence-informed interventions, strengthening clinical practice and building capability across the wider child and family service system.

Beyond direct clinical work, you will have opportunities to contribute to clinical programme development and evaluation, consultation, practice development and capability-building in parenting and family-focused work.
