Anticipatory Opportunity: Registered Psychologist / Provisional Psychologist

Anticipatory Opportunity

Registered Psychologist / Provisional Psychologist

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.

This is an anticipatory opportunity intended to help us connect with the right person in a thoughtful and flexible way. We are open to discussing future possibilities with candidates who are interested in joining an established, collaborative practice environment.

About the Opportunity

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.

This opportunity may be suitable for someone who is:

• A Registered Psychologist interested in future or ongoing work with an established team


• A Provisional Psychologist seeking to complete supervision hours


• A psychology candidate working toward registration


• Interested in working with young children from birth to 5 years of age


• Interested in mentorship for other registered psychologists, professional development, and long-term growth


• Comfortable working in a collaborative, family-centered environment

Role Focus

The role includes providing psychological services for children from birth to 5 years of age, including:

• Developmental, behavioural, and psychological assessment and intervention


• Consultation with families, caregivers, and other professionals


• Collaboration with team members

What We Offer

• A supportive and professional practice environment


• Opportunities for mentorship and collaboration


• Willingness to explore supervision arrangements for Provisional Psychologists once formal regulatory requirements become available

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be compassionate, professional, reliable, and committed to ethical, evidence-informed psychological services. Strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively are important.

Provisional Psychologists are encouraged to inquire, particularly those seeking a supportive setting to complete supervision hours. As regulations and requirements are still being developed in the Yukon, any future supervision arrangement would be discussed once formal guidance becomes available.

Training in play therapy and EMDR as well as experience working with infants, toddlers, preschool-aged children, families, and/or early childhood teams would be considered an asset.

To Express Interest

Interested applicants are invited to contact us to discuss possible future opportunities, supervision needs, areas of interest, timelines, and fit. Informal inquiries are welcome.

Please send your resume and a brief introduction outlining your background, current registration status or professional pathway, areas of interest, and availability to:
