As part of a large interdisciplinary team, the Altum psychologist’s role is to provide effective diagnosis and treatment, guide clients through the steps towards a full recovery and help them retrace those steps when there are setbacks. If you want to grow your skills and expand your depth of practice while working collaboratively within a large interdisciplinary team, as well as giving back to the community, this is a role to consider.

If you want to see the difference you make to the well-being and lives of clients on a daily basis, while changing the face of healthcare and rehabilitation, Altum Health is your next step.

The difference you will make:

Psychological staff work at Altum Health with clients who have a range of mental health and/or substance issues, some with musculoskeletal injuries, concussions and other concurrent conditions. You put together broad-spectrum treatment plans. At Altum, you have the opportunity to work side-by-side with a rehabilitation team of psychotherapists, psychiatrists, pharmacists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, kinesiologists and surgeons.

There are difficult cases that challenge you and there are sensitive cases that require a delicate touch. Every day there are clinical learning opportunities and teaching moments. With the Circle of Care mindset as a guiding principle, you eagerly participate in quality improvement activities and perform cross-functional and cross-site duties as required. You believe in the work we do together.
