This role combines psychology, behaviour support, clinical formulation, therapy, reporting and collaboration with families and support teams.

Depending on your experience, interests and PBS suitability status, your role may include:

• psychological therapy for NDIS participants and private/self-funded clients
• functional behaviour assessments
• interim and comprehensive behaviour support plans
• stakeholder consultation with families, support workers, coordinators, schools and providers
• behaviour support implementation and review
• restrictive practice reduction planning, where relevant
• risk assessment and clinical formulation
• report writing and NDIS documentation
• collaboration with OTs, the future Speech Pathology service and other allied health clinicians
• supporting people with complex disability, trauma, mental health and behavioural needs
• future aged care psychology or consultation work as Sigma develops that service area

This role may suit you if you are:

• a PBS practitioner with psychology experience or an interest in applying psychological frameworks within PBS
• a psychologist already doing PBS
• a psychologist wanting to move into PBS
• someone with NDIS experience
• someone interested in a mixed NDIS and private/self-funded caseload
• someone with disability, complex trauma, child and adolescent, forensic, mental health or neurodevelopmental experience
• a PBS practitioner who is also a registered psychologist

Psychology experience is highly valued, but not essential. You do not need to meet every preference to have a conversation with us.

You must have:

• general registration as a psychologist with AHPRA
• eligibility to work in Australia
• willingness to complete required NDIS worker screening requirements
• professional indemnity insurance, where required by your employment arrangement
• a current driver licence and access to a reliable vehicle
• strong written communication and report-writing skills

Ideally, you will already be considered suitable as an NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner at Core level or above.

We are also interested in hearing from registered psychologists who are not yet PBS practitioners but have a genuine interest in developing in this area.

If you are newer to PBS, we can discuss whether a supported development pathway is appropriate. If you are not yet considered suitable as an NDIS Behaviour Support Practitioner, PBS responsibilities will be structured appropriately and in line with NDIS requirements.

We are open to discussing:

• part-time or full-time employment
• flexible FTE
• school-hours options where clinically workable
• a gradual build-up of PBS work for the right psychologist
• a mixed psychology, PBS, NDIS and private/self-funded caseload
• contractor arrangements for the right person

$105,000 to $130,000 plus super, depending on PBS experience, capability level, FTE and caseload mix. Contractor arrangements may also be discussed for the right person.

We want this role to be sustainable. You can expect:

• a Bibra Lake team base
• work-from-home flexibility for reports and admin
• admin support with bookings and communication
• supervision and case discussion
• support with NDIS documentation and compliance
• flexibility around FTE and schedule
• a gradual caseload build where appropriate
• paid travel or travel reimbursement, depending on employment arrangement
• laptop, systems and templates
• CPD support
• a team that understands psychology, PBS, private clients and NDIS work

• community visits with participants and support teams
• psychology sessions with NDIS participants or private/self-funded clients
• functional behaviour assessment interviews and observations
• behaviour support plan development
• report writing from home or the Bibra Lake office
• supervision and case review
• meetings with support coordinators, families, schools or providers
• collaboration with Sigma OTs, future Speech Pathology clinicians and therapy team members

This is not intended to be a back-to-back appointment role. We want clinicians to have the time to think, write properly and practise safely.

Our main office is located at Sigma Therapies, 16/2 Ambitious Link, Bibra Lake WA 6163.

This is a community-based role across Perth, with work-from-home flexibility for report writing, planning and administration.

We do have satellite spaces across Perth, but this role is primarily connected to our Bibra Lake team.
