Psychologist I
Your Opportunity:
As our Psychologist I, your role will be to work with other rehabilitation professionals, typically when cases present emotional, behavioral, psychosocial developmental or family relationship issues that interfere with Occupational, Physical or Speech therapies. A key focus of this role will be support for feeding services offered by our department across Central Alberta. You will consult on strategies that can be incorporated into the other treatment modalities or work as part of an interdisciplinary team with direct involvement with children and/or families. This position is based out of the Red Deer 49th Street Community Health Centre, and travel to other Central Alberta health centres may also be required. Red Deer is located in Central Alberta near the midpoint of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor and is surrounded by Red Deer County. It is Alberta's third-most-populous city – after Calgary and Edmonton with just over 100,000 citizens. The Red Deer area has one of the fastest growing economies in North America and is consistently ranked as a prime location for doing business. You’ll love living in this beautiful city which has all the amenities you could need and still offers a small town, friendly feel. Join a team of skilled and dedicated health care professionals, support staff and physicians who promote wellness and provide health care every day, all across the province. We're passionate about what we do. Discover interesting and challenging work, where you have the opportunity to grow your skills, collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams, and make your mark as you contribute to a healthy Alberta.
