Red Deer Hospital has an exciting opportunity for casual Social Workers (SW), working on its very busy Adult Psychiatry Unit. As our SW, you will be working both independently and in close collaboration as part of a dynamic, interprofessional team including other allied health professionals, responsible for providing client centered care to adult patients.

There are several multi-use recreational centres and several golf courses. You’ll love living in this beautiful city which has all the amenities you could need and still offers a small town, friendly feel.
