Associate Vice President & Chief Human Resources Officer – Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare

Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAHC) is a two-site hospital that provides a broad range of clinical programs and services to Muskoka and area. With hospitals in Huntsville and Bracebridge, it currently provides emergency services and inpatient care, supported through a number of outpatient programs at both hospital sites and at the Almaguin Highlands Health Centre in Burk's Falls. To support the needs of the growing communities that it services, the hospital’s Board of Directors has endorsed a proposal, to the Ministry of Health, to build new hospitals in both Huntsville and Bracebridge in the future. As further evidence of investment in the region, in 2019 the MOH announced the creation of the Muskoka and Area Ontario Health Team (MAOHT), in which Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare plays an active role. Muskoka is a collection of wonderful communities that make up the most popular cottage country area in Ontario. With over 1,600 lakes, thousands of acres of green forest, and an abundance of amenities, it is a truly magical place in which to live.

The organization now seeks to recruit a talented and experienced leader who will be accountable for all elements of Human Resources. For an initial period, the role will report to the VP Integrated Care, Patient Care and Quality, be part of the Senior Leadership Team and support Board Committees as required. The role of AVP and CHRO at MAHC requires an exceptional combination of leadership ability, a demonstrated track record of achievement, and a variety of personal and professional attributes. While the role holds the title of AVP currently, there is the potential of being elevated to a VP position, once the incumbent demonstrates leadership and achievement analogous to a VP role.

The successful candidates will possess educational / professional qualifications that give evidence of the intellectual ability to deal with complex strategic and operational issues, including academic preparation to include a Baccalaureate degree in Business / Human Resources and a Masters Degree or a willingness to obtain a Masters Degree in health care or a business related discipline; a Certified Human Resources Leader (CHRL) designation preferred. Professionally, the ideal candidate will possess a minimum of seven years in senior management positions, ideally acquired within a complex service delivery organization(s) ideally regulated, and ideally involved in the provision of professional services. They will possess extensive depth of HR business practices. As important, they will be a passionate, courageous and caring person possessing values and perspectives congruent with the organization’s mandate.
