Boyden
At Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH), our inspiring team of 4500 skilled employees, physicians and volunteers provide exceptional patient care every day, including highly specialized services such as Cardiac, Stroke, Oncology, Neonatal Intensive Care, Child & Youth Mental Health and more. RVH was also recently designated as a Level III Trauma Centre. RVH is located in Barrie, ON, nestled in the heart of Central Ontario’s waterfront, cottage and ski country.

This means challenging the status quo, advocating for decisive action, and leading with conviction to advance RVH’s purpose. They will inspire confidence, build trust, and ensure transformation is not simply managed, but fully embraced so that our purpose, “Making life better, with the care you need, close to home,” becomes a lived reality across RVH and throughout the region. The Chief of Staff will step into the role with a proven record of driving progress across complex clinical and administrative environments. They will bring bold and decisive change‑leadership skills, a creative, solutions‑oriented mindset that thrives in complexity, and sharp political instincts. With experience in and a strong passion for health system transformation, the Chief of Staff will forge powerful community partnerships that elevate regional population health and strengthen system performance. The successful candidate will be licensed, or eligible for licensure, with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. A Master’s degree is preferred. This role is a 0.6 FTE administrative commitment with a term of five years, with the potential to extend for an additional five years. For additional information, or to apply for this outstanding opportunity, please submit your application and related materials to Pamela Colquhoun, Partner via Kathy Luu, Senior Associate ( kluu@boyden.com ). This position is not currently vacant and is being recruited in anticipation of a planned transition. The anticipated start date is August 2026. RVH is committed to a culture where Equity and Inclusion principles are integrated into all aspects of the organization. As such, we are continuously taking steps to create and sustain a healthcare environment where everyone is acknowledged, respected and celebrated. To support these efforts, we acknowledge the existence of various forms of racism, oppression, discrimination and bias within our society and its impacts on the health and wellbeing of certain populations. We proactively work with equity-deserving communities to dismantle existing systems that perpetuate these inequities in our environment.

THE OPPORTUNITY This is an exciting and strategic leadership opportunity for a seasoned development professional to lead Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care’s fundraising function, plan and deliver its first-ever major fundraising campaign, and play a key board-facing role in establishing a separately incorporated Foundation. As Waypoint expands its philanthropic vision in support of a new long-term strategy, this role offers the opportunity to shape the future of philanthropy at the organization.  Reporting to the Vice President, Partnerships and Chief Strategy Officer, and working closely with the President & CEO, Senior Leadership Team, and Board of Directors, the Director, Philanthropy will provide overall leadership for fundraising strategy and operations. The Director will be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive, multi-year fundraising strategy with diversified revenue streams aligned to organizational priorities. A central focus of this role will be the planning, leadership, and execution of Waypoint’s inaugural major fundraising campaign, a defining initiative aligned with the organization’s new long-term strategy. Building on existing fundraising programs while creating new avenues for philanthropic support, the Director will set campaign strategy, mobilize volunteer leadership, and lead a high-performing fundraising team to drive sustainable revenue growth. The Director will provide leadership in preparing for the establishment of a separately incorporated and governed Foundation; working along side the Founders Circle leadership volunteers, contributing to governance frameworks, policies, and best practices. At the heart of this role are relationships. The Director will build trust-based partnerships across the hospital with clinical teams, senior leaders, staff, and volunteers to strengthen a culture of philanthropy. Leading a collaborative, team-oriented fundraising department, the Director will coach and support staff, deepen relationships with donors, cultivate new networks, and serve as a visible ambassador for Waypoint. For a strategic, relationship-driven leader who enjoys building teams, shaping culture, and working closely with senior leadership and boards, this role offers a meaningful opportunity to advance mental health care in Ontario and support the patients, families, and communities who rely on Waypoint every day.   LOCATION & WORK MODEL: Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care is located at 500 Church St. in Penetanguishene, Ontario, approximately 150 kilometres north of Toronto. Waypoint offers a flexible, hybrid work model and is open to candidates from outside the region who are willing to be in the office part-time as well as engaged and present in the community.   ABOUT WAYPOINT CENTRE FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE Waypoint is a 315-bed academic and teaching hospital providing specialty mental health, addiction, and geriatric care. Located on the shores of Georgian Bay in Penetanguishene, Waypoint provides both inpatient and outpatient services to some of Ontario’s most complex and underserved individuals. Waypoint provides services across the lifespan. The world-renowned Waypoint Research Institute (WRI) is internationally recognized for driving positive change that enhances care, outcomes and experiences. The WRI has developed and maintained active collaborations with Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, The Royal, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and St. Joseph’s Healthcare. The WRI also maintains formal academic research partnerships with the University of Toronto, McMaster University, York University, Toronto Metropolitan University, and Georgian College. The new Research Chair in Forensic Mental Health Science is one of only a handful in the world, a collaboration between Waypoint and the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine dedicated to the study and research of forensic mental health science. Waypoint has provided forensic mental health care as an integral part of its hospital services since the 1930’s. Waypoint’s 1,300+ dedicated employees improve lives and bring hope to people with mental illness and substance use challenges. Care is delivered on site, in the community, virtually, and through partnerships, and is informed by innovative practices and, most importantly, patient voices. Each patient’s journey is unique, and Waypoint supports their recovery with compassion, dignity and inclusivity. Employees are internationally recognized for their leadership and research, approaching their work with professionalism and humility. Their commitment has earned Waypoint numerous recognitions, including the Gold Level recognition from Excellence Canada in November 2024 for the Hospital’s commitment to supporting psychological health and safety in the workplace. Also in 2024, Waypoint’s president and CEO, Dr. Nadiya Sunderji, was recognized with a Tomorrow’s National Leaders Award from the Catholic Health Alliance of Canada. Most recently, Waypoint was recognized for their commitment to building an inclusive workplace by achieving the Gold Level designation  under the Simcoe County LIP Workplace Inclusion Charter.    10-Year Strategy Transforming Care, Driving Research, Building Healthier Communities - 2026 to 2035 By 2035, Waypoint will be an internationally renowned centre of excellence for mental health, addictions and geriatric care, recognized for the effectiveness of our care, the impact of our research and our influence on the shape of our healthcare system. The new 10-year strategy is a blueprint for success over the next decade. The plan articulates a go-forward strategy across four directions as Waypoint shares its expertise and systems thinking: Serve, Discover, Lead and Inspire. Serve speaks to a continued and unwavering focus on delivering exemplary specialized care. Discover demonstrates a commitment to growing the research mission with a practical lens, educating tomorrow’s healthcare professionals and helping drive the evolution of the health system. Lead commits Waypoint to establishing a prominent place of influence in mental health, addictions, and geriatric care regionally, provincially and beyond as well as crafting purposeful partnerships to transform health and care together. And Inspire honours the people who advance our mission. The 2026-2035 10-Year Strategy was created to build on our successes and guide the organization in responding to the most pressing needs of those we can reach – today and into the future.   FUNDRAISING AT WAYPOINT Mental health has historically been underfunded and stigmatized in Ontario, but that’s changing. Awareness is increasing, philanthropy is gaining momentum, and donors are showing a stronger commitment to advancing mental health care and research. Waypoint has experienced steady revenue growth over the past several years, driven by strong corporate support and increased participation in special events. This momentum demonstrates Waypoint’s ability to attract philanthropic investment, raise awareness, and build meaningful connections with both businesses, community partners and individual donors. With the launch of a new 10-year strategy and a complementary 5-year fundraising plan outlining clear priorities, areas of opportunity, and metrics, Waypoint is well-positioned for its next stage of growth.
