Safehaven is constantly striving to better serve its clients and the communities that need its services most. Alongside the expansion of its clinical and residential services, the organization is advancing a once-in-a-generation redevelopment project that will create Canada's first integrated housing and medical complexity hub, bringing together specialized care, transitional services, supportive housing, and community-based programming within a single purpose-built environment. This landmark initiative reflects Safehaven's commitment to innovation, expanded capacity, and improved outcomes for clients and families.
Against this backdrop of continued impact, Safehaven is seeking an exceptional leader to serve as its inaugural Vice President, Client Care and Operations . This newly created executive role will shape the future of care and operations, helping create a more inclusive world.

As a key member of the senior leadership team, the Vice President ensures the safe, efficient, and effective delivery of high-quality clinical care, while advancing regulatory compliance, emergency preparedness, business continuity, and organizational resilience. Working in close partnership with the senior leadership team, the Vice President aligns clinical and administrative functions around shared goals, champions service excellence and continuous improvement, and enables integrated, innovative, and technology-enabled approaches to care, supported by strong data governance and responsible technology adoption.
