Sydney Neuropsych is a neuropsychology clinic on Sydney's North Shore, and we're looking for a Clinical Psychologist who is ready for more than just a standard caseload.

This is a genuine opportunity to embed yourself early in a growing clinic; working alongside experienced neuropsychologists and building a meaningful practice within an environment that cares about its people and its clients, from assessment to ongoing care.

In addition to general psychological therapy, you'll be picking up post-diagnostic therapy and ongoing psychological support for clients who have recently completed an assessment with us.

Types of clients needing therapy include general anxiety/depression within the neurotypical population, in addition to therapeutic issues for older age clients and neurodiverse clients, and family members. That means warm referrals, informed clients, and a ready-made pathway into a consistent caseload; without the grind of cold marketing yourself from scratch and all the admin that’s involved.

·       Providing post-diagnostic therapy and psychological support for adults and children (6+) following an assessment with the Neuropsychology team, including ADHD and Autism 

·       Supporting clients navigating executive functioning, anxiety, adjustment, identity, and self-understanding following diagnosis

·       Working within a neuroaffirming, evidence-based framework alongside our neuropsychology team

·       Contributing to the development of structured therapy programs, family group offerings, and referral pathways

·       Engaging with a diverse mix of private, NDIS, Medicare, and DVA clients

·       Collaborating on clinical decisions with the broader team, including intake and feedback processes

·       Contractor agreement with a percentage model split, commensurate with experience

·       Consistent, warm referrals from completed neuropsychological assessments; no cold caseload building

·       Direct access to and collaboration with our senior neuropsychologist, with access to neuropsychologists with substantial experience in in neurodiversity (cited in the DSM-5 for ADHD and a recommended referrer for Professor Tony Attwood for autism).

·       Potential for supervision depending on the candidates’ experience. Plenty of group PD and a budget for further training.

·       A genuine opportunity to learn the intersection of neuropsychological assessment and post-diagnostic therapy.

·       Start 1-2 days per week with a clear pathway to expand as demand grows

·       Modern, well-appointed consulting rooms in Naremburn, a short walk from St Leonards train station and Crows Nest Metro

·       Perks of a car space depending on availability.

We are a neuropsychology clinic with a focus on ADHD, Autism, cognitive assessments, and high standard of neuroaffirming care. Our practice is led by Dr Hannah Korrel, Senior Clinical Neuropsychologist, university lecturer, AHPRA approved supervisor, and previous clinical lead of the neuropsychological department of Northern Beaches Hospital, whose work is internationally recognised; including a citation in the DSM-5 for ADHD research, and recommended referrer of Professor Tony Attwood.

We are a small and growing team that takes our clinical standards sincerely and our workplace culture even more so. We are building something we are all proud of, and we are seeking people around us who feel the same.

·       AHPRA-registered Clinical Psychologist, and will consider General Psychologists

·       Genuine interest and experience with therapy for neurodiverse clients (i.e., autism/ADHD) will be highly regarded.

·       Experience with clients managing matters relating to neurological diagnoses and their family members (such as dementia) will be highly regarded.

·       At least 2 years of clinical experience, in a public or private setting

·       Strong written communication and report standards

·       A collaborative, curious clinician who wants more from their role than a full diary and is looking to learn more deeply about neurodivergence.

·       Applicants with a willingness to learn are welcome to apply.

Most private practice roles ask you to fill a diary. This one asks you to help shape a clinic. You will have direct mentorship from senior neuropsychologists experienced in neurological conditions such as Dementia, ADHD and Autism, plenty of professional development, a caseload from day one, and real scope to grow into a senior clinical presence.

You'll also have access to modern clinical tools, including Heidi (AI-powered clinical documentation), to support efficient, high-quality care for our clients, so more of your day goes to clients, not paperwork.

If you are a professional who loves to do excellent work, keep learning, and be part of a team that genuinely invests in its people, we would love to hear from you.

Selection criteria:

·       Evidence of qualifications as a clinical psychologist or general psychologist, outlining time of endorsement.

·       Outline your experience working with clinical therapy clients, setting, and breadth of knowledge.

·       Comfort working in a team environment according to the principles of the clinic.

·       Please outline your start date availability, and availability through the week.

·       Applicants must be able to pass a police check and a working with children check. Disclose any prior or current conditions on your AHPRA registration.

·       Applicants must be able to clear a police check and a working with children check. Please also disclose any prior or current conditions on your AHPRA registration.

·       Please provide two references of supervisors who have worked with you before, who consent to be contacted for a referee report after interviews and selection (please provide name, phone/email, and relationship to you).

We are committed to a neuroaffirming and equitable recruitment process. If you require any adjustments or support to participate fully, please don't hesitate to reach out to Elliot
