Job Description

Child & Youth Consultant


  • Are you a senior clinician with extensive experience working with children, young people and families?
  • We’re seeking an experienced professional to provide clinical leadership, consultation, and supervision within a specialist service supporting children and adolescents with complex needs.
  • While we’re particularly interested in hearing from experienced Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists , we are also open to applications from other registered health professionals who bring strong child and youth experience, complex case management skills, and a track record of clinical leadership.


About the Role:


  • Provide expert clinical consultation and guidance to a multidisciplinary team
  • Deliver clinical supervision and support staff development
  • Maintain a clinical caseload of child and youth clients
  • Support assessment, risk management, treatment planning, and report writing
  • Contribute to best practice, service development, and workforce capability


Why Clinicians Love This Role:


You’ll have the autonomy to tailor treatment approaches to the needs of each young person and family. From individual and group programmes to community-based and experiential interventions, you’ll be supported to deliver creative, evidence-informed practice rather than a one-size-fits-all model.


This role offers the opportunity to think beyond traditional clinic-based models, using a range of therapeutic approaches that promote engagement, connection, resilience, and positive outcomes for young people and their whānau.


About You:


  • Registered health professional with a relevant qualification
  • 5+ years’ post-registration experience
  • Significant experience working with children, adolescents, and families
  • Strong assessment, case management, and report writing skills
  • Experience providing supervision, mentoring, or clinical leadership
  • Comfortable working with complex presentations and multidisciplinary teams


Desirable Experience:


  • Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist registration
  • Experience in CAMHS, youth forensic, trauma, sexual harm, or specialist behavioural services
  • Experience with psychometric assessments and evidence-based therapeutic models


This is an outstanding opportunity for a senior clinician looking to combine clinical practice, leadership, supervision, and service development within a highly respected specialist service. Reach out today for a confidential chat!
