Job description

NowWhat is a flexible, supportive, and joyful working environment, in a beautiful clinic and a lovely community. We are a nature-loving, out-of-the-box clinic that provides holistic and creative clinical, social, and educational support to children youth, and adults across a range of domains, including ADHD & executive function, social communication, emotional regulation, anxiety, and behavioural challenges. We’re truly collaborative - consulting regularly across disciplines to build effective support plans that consider the whole person and their family context. Each professional is valued for their expertise and contribution, and enjoys a balance of autonomy and team support.

We are committed to holding inclusive, affirming, and non-judgmental space for both staff and clients. We value radical honesty and epic bravery. We have a particular focus on removing the barriers that can hinder access to therapeutic services for neurodivergent folk, and our passion is helping people build the skills they need to act effectively so they can enjoy a rich and meaningful life - whatever that looks like for them.

We are always interested in hearing from:

• Registered Social Workers & Social Service Workers
• Registered Psychotherapists
• CYCs & Behaviour Therapists
• Executive Function specialists

About You

Our ideal team member is a steady, 'cool, calm and collected' human with at least 5 years of experience with minds of all kinds and a great sense of humour (dry humour more than welcome) - resume highlights should hit:

• Neurodivergence experience (particularly Autism, ADHD, OCD and Anxiety)
• Excellent communication skills, resilience, and exceptional collaboration skills
• Strong self-awareness and good executive function skills (either natural or acquired!)
• Knowledge and experience with a wide range of behavioural techniques and approaches
• Bonus points for Secret Skills you'd be excited to share with your clients (personal passions like cooking/baking, sewing, gardening, anime, collecting, dungeons & dragons, music, art, dancing, woodcraft etc)
• Extra bonus points for program planning and supervisory experience and competence!

If you're our person, you're looking for a long term in-person position where you feel valued as a human, confident in your ability to contribute to a team, and challenged to grow and learn. You're patient and unshockable, and you're not afraid of rolling up your sleeves and getting dirty.

You’re quick to laugh and willing to work through conflict and challenges with humour and positivity. You’re equally ready to try new things, and toss them out if they’re not working. You can work to a deadline and pick up new processes quickly. You're willing to learn from and consider other disciplines' perspectives and input in order to offer holistic, wraparound care to your clients. You can present professionally and you are confident when it comes to speaking with parents and families, and you communicate clearly both verbally and in writing.

You feel you have a gift when it comes to understanding behaviour as communication. You have a passion for seeing the person before the problem, and for helping people to gain functional skills that will serve them well their whole lives.

What We Offer

• Competitive salaries depending on both your qualifications and your experience (bonus points for lived experience, areas of specialty, parenting or extensive pediatric developmental experience)
• Options for both full time hours with guaranteed steady income, and part time or contract positions depending on role and need
• Benefits package with a flexible Health Care Spending Account
• Ongoing opportunities for internal and external professional development and training
• Flexibility for Life Stuff within your team's schedule
