Recruitment

Chris Mackey and Associates is a progressive and innovative specialist psychology practice which offers a comprehensive range of individual and group services in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Health Psychology, Counselling Psychology and Neuropsychology. We have evolved over fifteen years to become the largest psychology practice in Geelong. We have attracted and retained the most highly qualified staff of any public or private psychology service in Geelong, largely as a result of the quality of administrative support and clinical supervision offered as well as by providing a very positive social environment, flexibility of hours, relative autonomy and unmatched facilities. We offer generous remuneration according to staff training and experience. We also have a generous staff development budget and provide an extensive library with a wide range of educational resources.

We present our work at national and international conferences. We function as a centre of excellence in not only the clinical field, but also in the research and business fields as reflected by our attainment of relevant awards detailed elsewhere on this website. We have well-developed systems in staff selection, employment, supervision, development and appraisal.

Our uncompromisingly high standards are maintained firstly by employing specialist psychologists who have completed at least a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology, Clinical Health Psychology, Counselling Psychology or Neuropsychology, often with additional experience in relevant specialist health services.

Job Description

Chris Mackey and Associates is a progressive, research-oriented private psychology clinic based in Geelong, currently staffed by 11 specialist Psychologists. We seek a creative and competent clinician with integrity and passion, and with at least a Clinical Masters or Doctoral degree, to join our team.

Our organization has been purposefully developed over 15 years to offer an optimal environment for clinicians to develop and maintain the highest standards of their profession and to further develop their specialized skills in the context of extensive supervisory and administrative support. We have deliberately sought to offer a range of occupational opportunities for specialist psychologists which we believe have been limited in the public sector since the advent of case management systems and an emphasis on generic models of care. We aim to promote optimal work satisfaction and wellbeing of staff through offering exceptional work facilities, family friendly work practices, a stimulating range of work, regular expert supervision (for P2 and P3 levels), extensive administrative support, relative autonomy, clinical research opportunities, generous conference leave and enjoyable colleagueship. We also offer appropriately generous remuneration in acknowledgment of specialist training and experience. We are committed to community education about mental health issues and regularly present our clinical research at national and international conferences. These features and the uncommon advantages of working with us will be apparent from further exploration of this website.

The successful applicant will likely have excellent interpersonal skills and supervised experience gained in a specialist setting (preferably including a government hospital or clinic) working with those suffering from such conditions as depression, PTSD and other anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties and a range of other clinical and behavioural problems.

The successful candidate will enjoy extensive opportunities for professional development including ongoing individual and group supervision and paid conference leave. Our clinic offers rewarding colleagueship and excellent facilities including two well-appointed practice buildings incorporating staff retreats, research library and seminar room.

Regular clinical supervision is provided by the Principal Psychologist who has presented clinical research at numerous national and international conferences and received the 2001 and 2002 Practitioner’s Awards from the Australian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (Vic Branch) for his work in the trauma field.
