Your career in healthcare made personal
At Medibank we’ve recently unified our health services under one brand – Amplar Health.
With over 1000 employees, our nurses, GPs and other amazing allied health professionals our focus is on improving healthcare experiences and championing greater access, choice, and control for people in Australia when it comes to managing their health.
The Opportunity
Our Mental Health team work across a range of services include triage, assessment, crisis intervention, referral, and counselling services for people experiencing a broad range of mental health concerns including extreme emotional distress.
As a Clinical Lead you will provide leadership, coaching and support to a team of approximately 25 Virtual Mental Health Professionals. You will be working closely with the Operations Managers to ensure that rigorous clinical governance is observed in your team and that they have the operational efficiencies and clinical support needed to excel in service delivery.
In this role you will lead a culture of clinical excellence, customer focus, continuous improvement, and operational efficiency through your team with the support of Senior Leadership.
While the focus of this role is clinical and operational management and governance, Clinical Leads may be asked from time to time to work a shift taking program calls to maintain familiarity with the requirements and current issues.
This will be a permanent position, with hours Monday-Friday between 8am-10pm. You will have a set weekly roster with some flexibility within these hours to suit your lifestyle. There may be scope for extended hours in the future though this would be negotiated if the need arises.
This is a work from home role and can be based anywhere in Australia.
About You
To be successful in your application for this role you will have:
- Minimum 5 years clinical experience in a relevant mental health setting, with at least 3 years in acute mental health (for example mental health telephone triage, inpatient unit, mental health emergency department assessments, community settings)
- At least 3 years experience in a clinical leadership role with experience in coaching and mentoring
- A clinical qualification in a relevant discipline of nursing, psychology, occupational therapy, or social work
- Current registration with AHPRA for associated disciplines or AASW.
- Extensive clinical assessment skills, critical thinking, decision making and problem-solving skills. You are self-driven and can work autonomously from home.
- Computer literacy, a proficiency with contact centre KPI dimensions and associated data, with a working competency of the Microsoft office product suite
Other requirements include:
- Suitable internet connection with proven speed tests during peak and offpeak hours maintaining minimum speeds of 50/20
- Proof of application of a working with children check
- Private room/space which can be used for your home office set up
