The Saskatchewan Health Authority offers a variety of full-time, part-time positions as a Psychology PhD or PhD Senior.

A Psychologist studies how people think, feel and behave from a scientific viewpoint and applies this knowledge in order to help people understand, explain and change their behavior.

A Psychologist may work as a researcher at a university or another organization to help enhance the area of Psychology. They may also work as practitioners or clinicians in hospitals, schools, clinics, private offices and correctional facilities.

Many Psychologists are active in both research and practice. Psychologists primarily work directly with individuals, groups, and families but also work directly with government and private industries and in some cases animals.

As a Psychologist in health-care, you will primarily consult and treat patients with mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, phobias, etc.

or those struggling with addictions but are no means limited to just those areas.

Working with the SHA as a Psychologist, you will primarily be working with an interdisciplinary team of other Psychologists, Psychiatrists, nurses, administrative and other support roles in either an inpatient setting such as a hospital, an outpatient such as a clinic, or a mixture of both.

A big difference when working with the SHA over practicing independently on your own is the extra support you receive from your team, as well as the opportunities to broaden your scope of practice to assess and treat a larger variety of patients.

The SHA also supports professional development opportunities for you to expand your skills and knowledge as well provide the opportunity to move up into leadership roles.

Overall, the SHA offers excellent work-life balance options for Psychologists and is an excellent organization to grow your career.
