We strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, Black, racialized or visible minority communities, Indigenous Peoples, people identifying as 2SLGBTQIA+, and people with disabilities. If we can make this easier through accommodation in the recruitment process, please contact us at info@sace.ca.

Eligibility: We understand that clients who have accessed our services may want to work at SACE, and ask that it has been at least two years since your last engagement with either counselling or Support and Information Line services before applying. It is important that our Directors of Clinical Services do not feel that your employment with SACE would in any way compromise your healing, or create an ethical dilemma regarding a dual relationship with your previous counsellor.

Salary: Ranges from $66,600 (Master’s degree in counselling or related field) to $86,550 (Registered Psychologist or Registered Clinical Social Worker with more than two years of experience) dependent on professional designation and experience.

Support and Information Line training dates: The successful candidate will be asked to attend some sessions of the SACE Support and Information Line training on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and some Saturdays, in September, October, and November. The staff will be compensated for these training hours with time off in lieu (TOIL).

Closing date: Open until filled.

Position start date: To be determined.

To apply: Interested candidates are asked to submit a cover letter outlining why they think they are the right candidate for this position, with a resume, and contact information of three (3) professional references including name, job title, phone number, and email address. Resumes submitted without a cover letter will not be considered.

Please send applications to info@sace.ca, Attn: Selection Committee – Adult Counsellor.

We thank all who apply; only those selected to be interviewed will be contacted.
