Role Brief:

Some of the most valuable work in health isn't therapy. It's the handful of well-designed hours that help someone living with a chronic illness or a mental health condition get back to the life they want, and the clinical judgement to recognise when they need something more.
Our ANZ Connected Care Programs deliver insurer-funded mental health and chronic disease support to people right across Australia. We're growing, and we're bringing health coaching in house.

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver structured, time-limited health coaching by video and telephone across our mental health and chronic disease programs
  • Complete baseline and completion clinical assessments, screen for risk, and escalate confidently when a participant needs more
  • Work with people managing depression, anxiety, cardiac and metabolic conditions, persistent pain, and the psychological weight of long-term illness
  • Write end-of-program reports for referrers and treating teams that are clear and useful
  • Contribute to a genuine multidisciplinary team and to how these programs are designed as they scale

Requirements:

  • You hold general registration as a psychologist with AHPRA, with a Master's or Doctorate in clinical, counselling or health psychology
  • You have at least five years post-full-registration clinical experience, including coaching
  • You have genuinely practised health coaching under a recognised coaching model — not therapy with a coaching label
  • You understand how physical illness and mental health shape each other
  • You're excellent remotely, organised on paper, and generous in a team
  • You are living in Australia with the right to work here

Desirable:

  • An ICF credential or equivalent coaching psychology qualification
  • Experience supporting people whose physical health concerns affect their wellbeing, including chronic disease
  • Five or more years in psycho-oncology, which opens up work in our Cancer Support stream

What are the benefits of working at SPECTRUM.LIFE?

  • A strong multidisciplinary model. You’ll work alongside an experienced team of nurses, dietitians and exercise physiologists with a wide range of skills and areas of practice
  • Regular MDT meetings, case reviews and internal peer supervision — resourced inside your paid hours, not on top of them
  • Fully remote, anywhere in Australia, with flexibility to schedule your hours between 9.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m.
  • Admin support, so your time goes to participants
  • A digital health and AI-enabled business, with technology built to make good clinical work easier
  • Technology equipment provided and role-specific professional indemnity coverage
  • 24/7 EAP and a full suite of health and wellbeing supports
  • Real influence over how these programs develop
