About This Opportunity

Joining a Faculty-based Project Team, the Clinical Lead will develop a new interprofessional paediatric clinical service founded on allied health students working under supervision in an authentic clinical setting.

The broad focus of this interprofessional clinic will be on assessment and treatment of various factors impacting a child's development including physical, emotional and cognitive conditions and disabilities, as well as those of a socio-economic, psychosocial and environmental nature. The specific services delivered by the clinic will be determined by the Faculty's education and research needs, and guided by considerations such as community needs, areas of internal expertise, models of care, partnership opportunities, financial sustainability, and the desire to create an interprofessional clinical experience for students which readies them to work in diverse clinical settings.

The primary purpose of the Clinic Lead will be to develop a new interprofessional clinical service for children and families. The clinic will provide learning opportunities for students in a range of allied health professions to develop their paediatric clinical skills in an authentic clinical setting. This position will also be responsible for working with the project team who are charged with the task of building a business case for the clinic, designing its clinical and operating model, and translating this into a functional design brief for implementation.

This position is located at our picturesque St Lucia campus , renowned as one of Australia's most attractive university campuses, and located just 7km from Brisbane's city centre. Bounded by the Brisbane River on three sides, and with outstanding public transport connections, our 114-hectare site provides a perfect work environment - you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a vibrant campus with the tradition of an established university.

Our Ideal Candidate

The Clinical Lead is an important and key project role and will be required to work collaboratively with the project team and a variety of stakeholders including clinicians and professional staff from across the Faculty.

The successful applicant will have a strong background in paediatric services, and a passion for training the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Demonstrable experience in contributing to the start-up/initiation phase of complex projects will be advantageous.

You must have ongoing unrestricted work rights in Australia to apply for this opportunity.
