Child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinician

The Youth Prevention and Recovery Care (YPARC) service is a short‑term, residential mental health program designed for young people aged 16 to 25. It provides a supportive, recovery‑oriented environment for individuals transitioning from hospital care or those needing additional support to prevent further mental health decline.

Delivered collaboratively with a community-based organisation, YPARC emphasises a network-focused approach. The service creates a safe and welcoming space where young people can develop practical coping strategies, build on their strengths, and reconnect with personal goals. A key priority is supporting participants to stay connected with their family, community, and support networks throughout their recovery journey.

As a YPARC Clinician, you will deliver compassionate and evidence-based care tailored to each young person's recovery goals. You will work collaboratively with individuals, their families, carers, and other supports to foster engagement and positive outcomes. The role requires a commitment to providing holistic, developmentally appropriate care that responds to the unique needs of each young person.
