Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Come be part of a team helping people build what comes next.

Road to Recovery is now hiring a temporary part-time 0.6 FTE Psychologist to join their Aftercare team. Working with clients who have completed treatment and are transitioning back into community, you’ll provide ongoing psychological assessment and counselling as part of a wraparound, recovery-oriented model that recognizes that recovery is rarely linear. You’ll work alongside an interdisciplinary team to help clients navigate the challenges that can come after treatment, strengthen the skills and supports that sustain recovery, and reconnect with care when setbacks or changing needs arise.

This is an opportunity to build on a strong foundation created by the team's incumbent Psychologist while continuing to grow the psychological services offered through Aftercare, including individual and group programming.

This position is currently scheduled to end January 31st 2028, or the return of incumbent.

The R2R initiative strives to better address treatment of substance use issues by providing the right support to each client at the right time. People who use substances deserve the same access to evidence-based care as anyone else, free from stigma.

Launched in 2023, the R2R supports clients at every phase of their wellness and recovery journey by coordinating seamless care, even if there are setbacks or relapses along the way.

The R2R continuum of services in operation today includes 25 detox beds located l’s Hospital, 20 transitional care beds for clients awaiting space in a treatment program or long-term housing, and the Aftercare Team, which launched in Fall 2024, providing outreach aftercare in the community. The initiative is rolling out in steps, with additional treatment services to come soon, including a ~50 bed off-site treatment center.
