St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Toronto, is seeking a locum psychiatrist for adult inpatient and outpatient 

services. St. Joseph’s Health Centre provides a range of psychiatric services including rTMS, inpatient 

ECT, urgent care child and adolescent clinic, urgent care, ACTT, group psychotherapy modalities, Day 

Treatment Program, and inpatient services. 

St. Joseph’s Health Centre, a division of Unity Health Toronto, serves the West Toronto catchment area, 

which is home to an ethno racially and socioeconomically diverse population. We provide access to a 

suite of multidisciplinary clinical services within a general hospital setting in collaboration with 

community partners. 

Locum remuneration includes OHIP billings, HOCC stipend and a monthly sessional. SJHC is an academic 

community site for the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine. Locums with University 

appointments receive a stipend for supervising learners. Call shifts are lucrative as the emergency 

department sees relatively high volumes of psychiatric visits. There are no overhead expenses. 

Candidates must hold an active certificate of registration from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of 

Ontario and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. An active University of Toronto 

appointment is preferred but not mandatory for locum staff.
