About One Door

One Door Mental Health has joined the Mind Australia Group, creating one of the largest community-managed mental health networks in the country. One Door Mental Health is a pioneering, purpose-driven service provider dedicated to supporting individuals living with mental illness, along with their families and carers. With over 30 years of experience, our innovative services and community-driven approach create a safe and supportive environment.

About the Service

Medicare Mental Health Centre Canterbury provides a welcoming, low‑stigma entry point for adults needing timely mental health support. Using an Open Dialogue approach, it offers short‑ to medium‑term care, strengthens personal networks and empowers people to shape their recovery while connecting them to ongoing community supports.

Our service is preparing to move into a larger, purpose‑built centre and will soon operate seven days a week. As we grow, we’re seeking team members who can offer flexibility, including weekend and afternoon shifts, to help us provide consistent, high‑quality care.

About the role

We are seeking a self-motivated and compassionate Clinical Lead for a permanent full-time opportunity located in the Canterbury area. You will oversee and model high-quality, recovery-oriented clinical practice across the multidisciplinary team, ensuring care is delivered in line with organisational values, ethical standards, and evidence-informed approaches, including the Open Dialogue model.

You will provide clinical guidance, support risk management and quality assurance activities, and collaborate on service performance and complaint responses. The role includes maintaining a small caseload and supporting workforce capability through supervision, induction, and participation in team and governance forums.

Key responsibilities

• Offer therapeutic interventions, complete intake and risk assessments, provide case management, and collaborate with stakeholders and support networks.
• Collaborate with people we support on completing and/or reviewing risk assessments to ensure supports are delivered safely.
• Apply professional judgement within the role, adapting routine clinical practice based on valid and reliable evidence for people with complex care needs.
• Complete intake assessments with people who walk into the centre, self-refer or are referred by another service.

Your Benefits

• Transform Lives: Play a vital role in empowering individuals, helping them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. 
• Competitive Salary Packaging: Maximize your take-home pay by salary packaging up to $15,900. 
• Fitness Passport: Take advantage of our discounted workplace health and fitness program, offering you and your family access to a wide range of gyms, pools, and fitness centres at a fraction of the regular cost. For 50% less than a typical gym membership, enjoy unlimited visits and stay motivated to maintain your health and well-being. 
• Leave Perks: Enjoy leave perks including birthday leave, study leave, and an extra annual picnic day leave! 
• Open Dialogue training: Professional development for all staff, strengthening the collaborative, person‑centred culture new team members join

• Current arrangements for clinical supervision (as per registration requirements).
• An advanced ability in the provision of mental health, recovery-based approaches to assist people with mental health concerns.
