Closed 3 days ago (Tue, 30 Jun). Part time - temporary / contract. Starting from $10,536 / month.

This role is designed to fit alongside your existing clinical practice.

New Beginnings Recovery Home is a residential addiction and mental health treatment program located in the Greater Toronto Area. As one of Canada’s first BIPOC-owned recovery centres of its kind, we are committed to delivering trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that supports individuals from communities that have historically faced barriers to accessing treatment.

We are currently inviting a licensed psychiatrist to collaborate with our clinical team by providing psychiatric assessments for incoming residents. Services can be delivered virtually, on‑site, or through a hybrid approach. Opportunities to participate in therapeutic group sessions are also available and compensated separately.

The psychiatrist will primarily conduct psychiatric intake evaluations for individuals seeking admission into our structured 28‑day residential recovery program. These assessments help determine clinical suitability for the program and support safe treatment planning.

You will work alongside an interdisciplinary team of clinicians and intake professionals to ensure each individual entering the program is appropriately screened and supported.

• Evaluate mental health history, substance use patterns, medication profiles, and potential detox risks
• Identify clinical concerns or contraindications that may require referral to alternative care settings
• Provide clinical recommendations regarding program admission suitability
• Review and authorize individualized treatment plans when required
• Collaborate with clinical and intake staff on case discussions and care decisions
• Optional: participate in therapeutic group sessions on a limited basis
