Your Opportunity

Henwood Treatment Centre is a 62‑bed live‑in treatment program supporting individuals in early recovery from substance use and co‑occurring mental health concerns. We believe recovery is a journey of hope, connection, and growth — and we’re looking for a Clinical Supervisor who shares that vision. In this leadership role, you will guide and empower a dedicated team of clinicians who provide compassionate, evidence‑based care to our clients. You’ll offer both formal and informal clinical supervision while maintaining a small caseload that keeps you connected to the heart of our work — direct client care. You will bring advanced clinical knowledge, sound judgment, and a collaborative spirit to support a recovery‑oriented system of care. Your role will also include mentoring, coaching, and providing educational support to our interdisciplinary team. Together, you’ll help sustain a culture of learning, compassion, and accountability that supports both client wellness and staff development. Working closely with other clinical leads, you’ll help ensure effective discipline‑specific and interdisciplinary supervision and support ongoing professional growth through the planning and evaluation of development activities. At Henwood, we value teamwork, innovation, and heart. If you’re a clinician who believes in the power of recovery, continuous learning, and community, we invite you to bring your leadership and expertise to our team. This position has transitioned to Recovery Alberta effective September 1, 2024. By applying on this posting, if you are the successful candidate, you agree to and will become an employee of Recovery Alberta.

This may include observing clinical sessions, reviewing clinical documentation and written reports, conducting team case consultations and offering support, and providing guidance and direction to clinical staff with challenging and urgent cases in a timely manner. In your role, you may work with members of the interdisciplinary team, psychiatrists and community partners in support of effective professional and collaborative practice. You may contribute to the planning, implementation and evaluation of mental health treatment services in a hospital setting or community. You may also identify and address gaps in clinical practice as well as facilitate addressing of system level gaps and risk management issues. You may provide support to leadership in the hiring, orientation and performance evaluation of clinical staff.
