Are you a mental health professional with an interest in promoting and protecting the mental health and well-being of Australia’s future generations, rather than waiting for problems to emerge? Then we have the job for you!

about the role

Prevention United is looking for a Senior Parent Programs Coordinator and/or Clinical (Research Fellow) to oversee one of our flagship initiatives – the Partners in Parenting (PiP) program.

The role is based at Prevention United and is part of a multidisciplinary research project led by Monash University's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health and Faculty of IT.

We are happy to consider part-time and job share arrangement for suitable candidates. For applicants with postgraduate clinical/ research qualifications and interest in contributing to the research project, we are open to negotiating a Clinical or Research Fellow position, with additional opportunities (inc. potential for authorship).

about the program

PiP is the brainchild of A/Professor Marie Yap at Monash University. This online program teaches parents evidence-based parenting strategies that help to reduce their teenager’s risk of experiencing depression or anxiety, and supports parents to embed these strategies in their day-to-day life. We are about to embark on the next phase in the development of the program – called PiP Plus.

As a Clinical (Research) Fellow, you will support parents across Australia to access the program. You will also lead the moderation of the associated Facebook peer support group and its enhancement, including supporting a rapidly-responsive intervention adaptation process.

Use your mental health knowledge and people skills to improve the lives of parents, and help us to prevent teenage depression and anxiety conditions.

A position description is attached.
