Are you a passionate psychologist looking to belong to a supportive, collaborative community to implement our bold vision to optimize the benefit of mental health services to diverse audiences from prevention to intervention?

Build a career while making a difference

You belong here if you value being able to leverage your psychological competencies as a trusted subject-matter expert to apply evidence-based and process expertise to meaningful step-care mental health programs across the mental health continuum (prevention, monitoring and intervention).

You will provide top quality whole-person care using your client-centered bio-psycho-social approach with both interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams (i.e., physiotherapy, kinesiology, occupational therapy, vocational rehab specialist, case coordinators) and interdisciplinary mental health teams (psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, social workers, occupational therapists).

Your work will make a difference to the lives of Canadian Veterans, whose service-related health conditions limit their functioning in civilian life, as well as to employees in organizations focused on workplace health, and insured employees and private payers reaching out on their own for support for their mental health concerns.

• Current registration with the Nova Scotia Board of Examiners in Psychology (Adult: Clinical, Rehabilitation and/or Neuropsychology).

Applied experience

• Conducting psychological assessments with adults for various goals, including treatment planning
• Providing various evidence-based treatments grounded in cognitive-behavioral approaches
• Developing and evaluating mental health programs is considered an asset
• Working in interdisciplinary teams and with third party payers is considered an asset
• Utilizing telehealth/virtual care methods is considered an asset

Additional abilities

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills
• Able to work both autonomously and as part of interdisciplinary teams

• Able to manage a diverse caseload within a dynamic work setting
• Demonstrated work ethics, integrity, reliability, maturity, and flexibility
