Full time and temporary full time (Locum) Psychiatrists

 Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care is searching for a Full Time Acute Care Psychiatrist to join our Team!

Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care is located in Penetanguishene, Ontario on the shores of beautiful Georgian Bay, less than two hours from Toronto and approximately 45 minutes from Barrie. Outdoor recreational opportunities in all four seasons abound in this area of natural beauty. Golfing, curling, fishing, boating, hiking, snowmobiling are just a few of the great activities to do here. At Waypoint, we believe in maintaining a work environment where people find meaning, enjoyment, and professional growth in their work while balancing other aspects of their lives.

Waypoint is an academic and research hospital that provides specialized mental health, addiction, and geriatric care to some of the most complex and disadvantaged people in Ontario. As a 315-bed psychiatric hospital, we deliver exceptional, progressive care, both on site at the hospital and in the communities we serve across the region. Waypoint is the sole provider of high-secure forensic mental health services in the province.

We are currently seeking full-time Psychiatrists to provide services on our Acute Assessment Unit. Here you will work with a well-resourced interprofessional team to treat a wide range of diagnosis, with an Outpatient Team available to support transitions in care.

We are also keen to develop physician leadership opportunities across the organization. We offer physicians career development opportunities in teaching and research, quality improvement and leadership/administration. Waypoint has academic affiliations with five Ontario medical institutions and candidates are encouraged to apply for a university appointment if they do not already have one.

Clinical Setting and Required Skills:

We are accepting expressions of interest by candidates who hold an MD or equivalent and certification (or eligibility for certification) in Psychiatry from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and who are licensed or eligible for licensure in the Province of Ontario. While our current priority is acute inpatient psychiatry, and we are happy to explore other opportunities. Preference will be given to a candidate who is interested in contributing to our academic culture through one or more of the above activities, and who thrives as part of a collaborative team.

Remuneration and Benefits

Our salaried compensation model includes maternity /parental leave, five weeks paid vacation, two weeks paid professional development days, an education/professional dues allowance, and a robust pension plan.
