Registered Provisional Psychologist
Full Time
ABOUT US AND THE ROLE
Going to therapy is simultaneously an act of courage and an act of vulnerability. Our clinic’s approach is rooted in a simple mission — to help our clients feel heard; to find their hope.
As a Registered Provisional Psychologist, your outstanding work is the foundation of everything we do here at Viewpoint Calgary. With every warm hello, therapy session, and breakthrough you have the opportunity to make your clients’ visits exceptional in every way. Working with our collaborative team you will feel supported in providing a calm, attentive presence that will help your clients feel welcome, safe and nurtured — right from their first session. As a Registered Provisional Psychologist, you will also be supported as you accumulate your practice hours on your path to full registration.
Credentials are important, but we want to discover more about you than just your impressive resume. What are your goals - both in your career and life? What sort of company would you love to work for? And, most importantly, what can you bring to our team? We believe the ‘right fit’ will be rooted in integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and simply be a delight to work alongside.
