Perinatal Psychologist – Private Practice Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for a PERINATAL psychologist who aims to work within the supportive environment of an established psychology practice with a strong perinatal referral base. 

About Us 

RWA Psychology – Family Matters works with clients across the lifespan. We have clinicians working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. We have a strong interest and referral base in perinatal psychology.

We are located in Beecroft where we have beautiful purpose built clinic rooms. Beecroft has a lovely village atmosphere with plentiful coffee shops, is accessible by train and an easy drive from many areas of Sydney. 

The Opportunity

We are continuing to grow our team to meet the high demand of our perinatal referral base. This is an opportunity for psychologists experienced in the PERINATAL space to join our team. 

The practice has some flexibility with sessions across different days of the week. A strong demand for morning based appointments at present would be ideal for a psychologist with a family, wishing to be back home for after school hours. Availability of a Saturday morning would be desirable.
