Our FFT-CW team is expanding its geographic location to include the Logan region and we are looking for an out-placed therapist. You will be part of an experienced team of passionate therapists who are implementing Queensland’s first Functional Family Therapy – Child Welfare (FFT-CW) program. FFT-CW is an evidence-informed therapy program that achieves lasting behaviour change for vulnerable families.

You’ll be working with families and children in their homes to create change by helping them to understand their strengths and teaching them new skills and ways to solve problems.

As well as having clinical experience, the person for this role will need to be flexible, engaging and have a high level of emotional intelligence.

There’s no doubt this is a challenging role: it will also be an opportunity to develop your clinical skills with lots of support, clinical reflection and training, working with a supportive team.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real difference in people’s lives, we’d love to hear from you.
