Your Opportunity:
As the Mental Health Therapist, you will provide service delivery in two of our beautiful northwestern communities. The hamlet of La Crete offers all the amenities of a modern town to its population of 3,500 residents with the surrounding area totaling approximately 8,000 people. Just a short 30-minute drive takes you to the Fort Vermillion St. Theresa General Hospital, which overlooks the beautiful Peace River Valley and provides acute, continuing care and 24-hour emergency services. Annual community events include a winter carnival, outdoor rodeo and River Daze. The Northern Lights shows of aurora borealis in this region can number about 300 per year. Colors of red, blue, green, and yellow flow across these magical skies and are particularly prominent during the clear nights of winter. Come to northern Alberta, where the people are warm, you can expand your horizons and experience the beauty of the North. If nothing feels better than making a difference in the lives of families in your own community, this is the opportunity for you. Northern Allowance: In addition to a competitive rate of pay, AHS currently has a Northern Allowance in place to an annual maximum of $6,300. This allowance is non-pensionable and is payable on an hourly basis for all hours paid at the basic rate of pay. Travel Expense Reimbursement: Permanent and temporary employees working in excess of one (1) year whose work sites are above the 57th parallel are also eligible to receive an annual reimbursement of personal travel expenses to an annual maximum of $1,235. Eligible employees will be reimbursed for the cost of one (1) round trip, per calendar year, to any destination within Alberta. Travel must originate from a community above the 57th parallel to any destination within Alberta and cannot be carried over.
Description:
As the Mental Health Therapist, you will be required to use a variety of treatment modalities (individual, family, and group) to persons experiencing significant mental health difficulties. Working both independently and as a member of a collaborative multidisciplinary team, you will provide evidence informed and best practices in crisis intervention, assessment, consultation, referral, case management and treatment.
