An exciting career move for strategic, academic and administrative leaders who will support Centennial College’s mission of educating students for career success
Over the past 50 years, Centennial College has transformed itself from a local community college to a worldly institution, with a focus on preparing graduates to enter the work force and become global leaders. At Centennial, we are incorporating innovation, technology and entrepreneurship to creatively engage our students, to build more bridges with communities and employers and to connect with our employees who are doing meaningful work.
The School of Community and Health Studies is recruiting for two (2) Nursing Department Chairs: BScN Collaborative Nursing Programs and Practical Nursing Programs (PN, PSW) . The School of Community and Health Studies is comprised of 6 departments: Child and Family Studies, Community Services, Health and Wellness, Emergency Management and Public Safety, Collaborative Nursing Programs (BScN) and Nursing Programs (PN, PSW).
Reporting to the Dean of the School of Community and Health Studies, the Nursing Department Chairs provide effective and positive academic and administrative leadership and supervision to faculty, managers, support staff and students within his/her Department. The Chair leads the planning, development, delivery and ongoing review (including external program approval and licensing requirement processes) of a cluster of full-time and part-time courses, programs and degree offerings. This includes accountability for full-time post-secondary, bridging and post-diploma programs and services, ensuring that programs are relevant to the needs of the College, students, employers and the community at large, and consistent with the College’s and School’s strategic directions, including student retention and graduation.
The Nursing Department Chairs drive integrated multidisciplinary programs and project development linked to employer and community needs, and ensure collaboration, organizational effectiveness and communication both within and outside of the College. A key aspect of the role is developing and sustaining partnerships – locally, provincially, nationally and internationally – and establishing the Department as a leader in education and research.
The Nursing Department Chair, BScN Collaborative Programs will ensure integration, collaboration, effective relationships and operations with our Collaborative BScN partners: Ryerson University and George Brown College. A mandate for this Chair is to continue the research and scholarship activities for the department and faculty, and we are therefore looking for a candidate with a PhD in Nursing, Health Administration or a closely related field, as well as registration, in good standing, with the College of Nurses of Ontario (or eligibility to obtain said licensure). This research foundation should be complemented by 7 or more years of progressive nursing and management experience, with a strong preference given to candidates with experience in academic leadership in the higher education sector (Universities, Colleges).
For the Nursing Department Chair, Nursing Programs (PN, PSW) we are looking for a leader with a master’s degree in Nursing, Health Administration or a closely related field, and approximately 7 years of progressive, related management and leadership experience, preferably in the higher education sector. In addition, you must possess and maintain registration, in good standing, with the College of Nurses of Ontario, or be eligible to obtain said licensure shortly after hire. A PhD in Nursing, Health Administration or a closely related field, and demonstrated experience in building research capacity will be considered strong assets.
To be considered for either of these key academic leadership roles, please forward your resume to Phelpsgroup at careers@phelpsgroup.ca, specifying the title of the position in the subject line, by November 19, 2018.

Our Shared Purpose: Providence Healthcare, St. Joseph’s Health Centre and St. Michael’s Hospital
The Organization
On Aug. 1, 2017, Providence Healthcare, St. Joseph’s Health Centre and St. Michael’s Hospital (the Network) officially united under a single health network , to advance the health of our patients, clients and residents, and our urban communities. The Network’s more than 10,000 staff and physicians serve communities from Etobicoke to Scarborough. With an annual budget of more than $1 billion and 1,100 inpatient beds, the Network provides the full spectrum of care from primary, secondary, community, tertiary and quaternary care services to post-acute through rehabilitation, palliative care and long-term care.
Rooted in the legacy of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph, the three organizations share a commitment to Catholic healthcare, a vocation to serve the most vulnerable and those most in need with compassion and dignity; to improve health and the overall social determinants of health, rather than just treat disease. True to Catholic Social Teaching, a calling to social justice and the common good, our organizations prioritize a holistic and compassionate approach, recognizing the whole person in the community, the fundamental link between spirituality and healing, and the diverse cultural and spiritual needs of those served.

About our sites:
Providence Healthcare provides rehabilitation, palliative care, long-term care and community programs in Toronto. Through Providence Hospital’s inpatient and outpatient programs, adults of all ages rehabilitate after strokes, orthopaedic surgery, lower limb amputations or other complex medical conditions generally associated with aging. The hospital’s palliative care program offers seven days a week patient admissions for people approaching the end of life. Short-term respite admissions are available for palliative patients who require inpatient care before returning home to spend their final days. The Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence long-term care home provides the highest standards of comfort, care and safety to 288 residents. An Adult Day Program for people with moderate to severe dementia cares for the most vulnerable clients around the clock.
St. Joseph’s Health Centre is a community teaching health centre affiliated with the University of Toronto that has served the communities of west Toronto and beyond for nearly a century. It is a vital resource for people and families at every stage in their lives, including family birthing, specialized paediatric services, family medicine and dedicated programs for the growing senior population. Its teams also help to diagnose and manage chronic illnesses at its ambulatory clinics. St. Joseph’s areas of specialty include mental health, cardiology, diabetes and nephrology, with St. Joseph’s also being home to tertiary care programs in bariatrics, thoracic surgery and hepatobiliary surgery. These programs support not only our local community, but are a valued resource at a regional and provincial level.
St. Michael’s Hospital is a fully affiliated University of Toronto teaching and research-intensive hospital, and is a hub for care, ranging from primary and secondary care to highly complex tertiary and quaternary care for patients from across the province. St. Michael’s is downtown Toronto’s adult trauma centre – an urban focal point for neurosurgery, complex cardiac and cardiovascular care, diabetes and osteoporosis care, minimally invasive surgery, and care of those who experience disadvantage. It is also one of the province’s major sites of care for critically ill patients and runs provincial programs in the treatment of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis – the largest of such clinics in Canada.
St. Michael’s is currently undergoing a major redevelopment project that will help position the site to become Canada’s premier critical care hospital. The project includes a new 17-storey patient care tower at the corner of Queen and Victoria streets, a renovated Emergency Department and significant upgrades to improve the existing hospital space.
