PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
As the leader of the hospital and long-term care home, you are highly motivated and skilled at developing and maintaining strong partnerships in the hospital and health care environment as well as your local community. You are able to cultivate robust and trusted relationships with management, staff, physicians and other health professionals and work closely with a strong Foundation and dedicated volunteers. You are a visionary with demonstrated strategic focus, excellent team building and problem solving skills, and adeptness at identifying and managing risk early and effectively. You are able to identify – and alter and adapt - priorities as required to meet patient, client and community needs, bringing others on side with you as you do so. Backed by a dedicated Executive Team, you are comfortable initiating and guiding management and Board of Governors planning and decisions with your knowledge and experience in management reporting, analysis and interpretation of financial, operational and clinical data, and other key performance indicators. Through your leadership experience in healthcare dealing with financial challenge and system constraints, you are able to obtain desired outcomes. You will enhance service, identify efficiencies and improve quality with an eye to patient and family needs and sensitivities. You are excited about the potential to innovate and be active in the identification and introduction of new opportunities, as well as cost-saving strategies.

Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada
Aim Higher. Inspire and lead VLRC to maximize the health and independence of Canadians impacted by vision loss.
Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada (VLRC) is a national healthcare organization that provides professional, high-quality and sustainable rehabilitation services to Canadians with vision loss. A sister organization to Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) and Deaf Blind Community Services (DBCS), VLRC has begun a transformational journey, transitioning from being a central part of a national charity to a separate and distinct national health service provider. VLRC’s services are delivered across the country, with a staff of 270, 44 offices and a current budget of $28 million.
Why It Matters
When someone loses their vision, it can feel like their whole life has been turned upside down. Just imagine. Suddenly they have to navigate the world by touch, sound, taste and smell. They can no longer see the faces of their loved ones, and seemingly simple tasks like preparing a meal can become incredibly daunting.
While some people adapt to these changes, many more find themselves grappling with serious emotional challenges like isolation, anxiety and depression, as they mourn the loss of their sight – and the life they had before.
Thankfully, for every Canadian who faces these challenges, VLRC is here. The organization provides a wide range of services, delivered by certified professionals, that help people overcome the challenges of vision loss, build their independence, and achieve their goals in life – from mobility instruction to technology training, support for parents and loved ones, career counselling and much more. If someone with vision loss can dream it, VLRC can help them achieve it.

You will build a network of influence with potential funders and granting agencies that strengthens the long-term fiscal health and sustainability of the organization.
