Psychologist

Early Career Psychologist - Think Psychologists

Start somewhere that will shape the psychologist you become.

You've finished years of study. Now comes the part nobody can learn entirely from a textbook. How do you support a child whose anxiety looks like refusal, anger or shutdown? And how do you become a confident psychologist without feeling as though you should already know it all?

At Think Psychologists, we don't expect early career psychologists to arrive as finished clinicians. We look for curiosity, warmth and a genuine desire to understand what sits beneath a child's behaviour. The rest is something we build together.

Think Psychologists is seeking a provisional or fully registered Psychologist to join our multidisciplinary team in Geelong. This is a full or part-time position (minimum three days) offering you the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families through evidence-based psychological intervention and support. As a Psychologist, you will be central to delivering high-quality mental health services, conducting assessments, and providing therapeutic intervention. This role is pivotal in advancing our mission to provide accessible, compassionate, and effective psychological care within the Geelong community.

• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team environment
• Strong organisational and time-management skills
