Given the variety of work on offer, we are interested in working with you to match your areas of passion with the opportunities we have for your professional growth. While you will be able to work independently, you will be part of a collegial and supportive group of psychologists. You will also work alongside and in collaboration with highly skilled and professional groups of rehabilitation medical specialists, neuro-physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech-language therapists to enable our clients to achieve their goals and maximize function, participation and wellbeing.
