Employment Opportunities

Join a Team Doing Complex, Meaningful Work Susan Ulmer Addiction Services Inc. is seeking two Registered Psychologists to join our growing team and support individuals navigating addiction, trauma, grief, mental health challenges, relapse, and complex life circumstances. This is not a one-size-fits-all clinical role. We are looking for psychologists who can bring a broad clinical perspective, strong assessment skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work with participants whose needs may overlap across addiction, trauma, mental health, grief, family stress, and recovery. The right candidates will be thoughtful, grounded, collaborative, and able to provide care that is

both clinically strong and deeply human.

Responsibilities

•  Provide psychological assessment, counselling, and treatment.

•  Develop individualized treatment plans based on participant needs, strengths, risks, and recovery goals.

•  Support individuals experiencing addiction, trauma, grief, relapse, emotional regulation concerns, and complex mental health needs.

•  Assess risk and respond appropriately to crisis, safety concerns, and changing clinical needs.

•  Complete clear, timely, and professional clinical documentation.

•  Provide trauma-informed, culturally respectful, person-centred care.

•  Collaborate with counsellors, healthcare providers, community supports, and other members of the care team.

Qualifications

•  Must be registered and in good standing with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists.

•  Graduate-level education in psychology.

•  2–5 years of relevant clinical experience preferred.

•  Experience working with addiction, trauma, grief, mental health, and complex needs.

•  Strong assessment, clinical judgment, communication, documentation, and crisis-management skills.

•  Ability to work effectively with participants whose needs may be layered, complex, and constantly changing.

•  Experience working with First Nations people and communities is strongly preferred.

•  Knowledge of trauma-informed care, harm reduction, culturally responsive practice, and recovery-focused support.

•  Ability to work independently while also contributing to a multidisciplinary team.

Why This Role Matters

Many of the people we support are not dealing with one issue in isolation. Addiction may be connected with trauma, grief, mental health, family disruption, housing instability, shame, loss, systemic barriers, and years of survival-based coping.

We are looking for psychologists who can see the whole person, not just the presenting concern, and who can bring both clinical skill and compassion into complex recovery work. If you are looking for a role where your experience can have a meaningful impact and where your perspective will be valued as part of a collaborative team, we would like to hear from you.
