Prescript would love to hear from paediatricians who are interested in working from home in 2023. This role offers flexible hours and is well-suited for doctors looking for part-time work or who may only be available for a few hours per week.

Specifically, we are looking for Paediatricians who have experience or an interest in conducting behavioural referrals.

The Position

Our team is collaborating with a telehealth provider to assist them in finding dedicated Paediatricians on a long-term basis assisting in Paediatric behavioural referrals.

The Paediatric behavioural referral process typically involves an initial consultation with a licensed mental health professional who will assess the child's needs and provide guidance on the appropriate level of care. This assessment may include a review of the child's medical and developmental history, a discussion of the child's symptoms, and an evaluation of the child's mental health status. Based on the assessment, the provider may make a referral for additional evaluation or treatment.

Depending on the number of available doctors, this opportunity may be available for multiple candidates.

This health service prefers scheduling appointments two to four weeks in advance and values ongoing availability, although flexibility with notice is possible.

There is an established patient base and referral network with patients eagerly awaiting consultations. Additionally, doctors will receive payment at a rate of 100% of their Medicare billings.

About Mel Houston

Hi, I'm Melissa Houston; I am one of the Senior Recruitment Partners at Prescript Recruitment, working with rural generalists and emergency medicine doctors across metro and regional Australia.

My experience covers over a decade of medical recruitment, specialising in senior doctors and solving the healthcare shortage.

I am an expert in working closely with hospitals, departments, and clinics to fill their critical vacancies. My success has included roster management, executive search projects and in-depth relationship building with locum doctors.

I love to work hard whilst injecting humour and fun into my day-to-day activities. I really enjoy meeting clients and doctors; as it stands, I think I've ticked off 100 hospitals that I have visited, and that is probably only touching the surface. I believe it's integral to matching doctors’ and clients’ needs and helps me better understand doctors' new roles.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my daughter and family. I'm a water baby at heart, so you'll often find me out on our family boat - sailing the beautiful waters of the Mornington Peninsula (where I live!).
