About the Opportunity

Be Recruitment is proud to partner with a nationally recognised youth mental health program to recruit a Career Medical Officer to work within a multidisciplinary team providing early intervention mental health support to young people.

This is a non-hospital-based role that offers a rare opportunity for a doctor to apply their clinical expertise in a flexible, community-based setting, without the demands of shift work or on-call rosters.

You’ll provide clinical oversight, mental health assessments, collaborative care planning, and medication support as part of a progressive model focused on recovery, accessibility, and continuity of care.

This is a full-time position, however, part-time arrangements may be considered. You'll be working in modern, purpose-built facilities designed to support calm, youth-friendly engagement and clinician wellbeing.

• Experience or interest in youth mental health, general practice, or early intervention
• A collaborative, person-centred approach to clinical care
• Ability to work independently in a multidisciplinary team environment
• Interest in continuity of care and long-term outcomes over acute presentations

Why Work Here?

Based in Braddon, a short walk from Canberra’s city centre, the service is housed in a modern facility surrounded by leafy streets, creative cafés, and accessible public transport. It’s a refreshing and inspiring alternative to traditional clinical settings.

Salary & Benefits
