About The Position

We are seeking expressions of interest from Registered Psychologists, Provisional Psychologists, and individuals pursuing registration in psychology as part of our long-term planning and continued growth.

We are open to discussing future possibilities with candidates who are interested in joining an established, collaborative practice environment. Consider an opportunity to join the professional team of the Child Development Centre in beautiful Whitehorse, Yukon. Our growing team provides quality early intervention services to children from birth – 5 years of age throughout the Yukon. We work as a transdisciplinary team and provide assessment, consultation and intervention for children with a wide variety of needs. We have the opportunity to work with Indigenous children and families and build strong cultural connections. Travel to rural communities may be required. Relocation allowance is available. Nestled in iconic Yukon, Whitehorse is a spectacular city with room to spread out and enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking, x-country and downhill skiing, mountain biking and a vast array of arts and cultural activities. Whitehorse offers English first-language, French-first language and French immersion schools. Surrounded by mountains and nestled among dense black spruce and poplar forests of the Yukon River Valley, the City of Whitehorse aptly chose “The Wilderness City” as its slogan. With some of the cleanest air in the world, yet with multiple flights to southern jurisdictions offered daily, Whitehorse is more connected than you think.
