Job Description

If you're looking to challenge yourself, be part of a supportive multidisciplinary team and build your clinical reputation, you'll love the work at Forensic Intervention Services (FIS) in Victoria.

We are a specialist program area of Corrections Victoria that provides people in custody and in the community with offence-specific, evidence-based screening, assessment and intervention services to support their rehabilitation. We hold portfolios and expertise in critical areas such as Violent Extremism, Restorative Justice and Family Violence.

We're seeking experienced professionals in social work to join our team of forensic clinicians. Forensic clinical experience is desirable but not essential.

Whether you're looking to expand your expertise, enjoy a more dynamic role or leave a lasting impact in a progressive field, this is career defining work with marginalised groups you won't get access to anywhere else.

Flexible opportunities including part-time are available in metro Melbourne, our growing south west team and regional locations.

  • Earn $113,021 - $136,747 plus super

  • A $10K relocation allowance is available for eligible candidates 

  • A specialised induction program for new clinical staff (including foundation, theory, and mentored on-the-job training).

  • Mental health and wellbeing care - essential debriefing for the first 12 months for new forensic practitioners.

  • Supervision by senior clinical staff with support on a day-to-day basis.

What you'll do

As a forensic clinician, you will build on your existing expertise as part of a multidisciplinary team, delivering evidence based, best-practice forensic intervention in a supportive correctional environment. 

Working within the Risk-Needs-Responsivity model, you'll deliver a wide range of individualised services including:

  • Comprehensive assessments including risk assessments.

  • Clinical interviews to develop person centred rehabilitation pathways.

  • Treatment interventions employing evidence-based assessment tools.

  • Treatment programs involving individual and group sessions.

  • Preparing treatment plans, treatment reports, and risk assessment reports for internal and external stakeholders.

To apply, you'll need to hold, or be eligible for, membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW)
