   Executive Director & CEO About CNO The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), located in downtown Toronto, is the governing body for over 185,000 registered nurses (RNs), registered practical nurses (RPNs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) in Ontario, Canada. The nursing profession has been self-regulating in Ontario since 1963, a privilege granted to those professions that have shown they can put the interests of the public ahead of their own professional interests. It recognizes that Ontario’s nurses have the knowledge and expertise to regulate themselves as individual practitioners and to regulate their profession in collaboration with members of the public through CNO. About the Role Reporting to Council, in your role as Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer of CNO, you will provide leadership and direction to carry out CNO’s regulatory mandate and responsibilities as set out by the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), through policy and strategic planning decisions made by Council, and as required by other stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health. You will remain agile in the face of a constantly changing healthcare environment, set clear priorities and milestones while focusing on core mandates of the organization and execution of the Strategic Plan. Committed to excellence and leadership you will act as the primary resource to Council and the Executive Committee while collaborating with the President to identify issues and recommending policies for Council approval. Keeping current with developments in the field, you’ll be well equipped to inform Council of internal and external factors that may impact CNO, and recommend any needed changes to policy, legislation, and by-laws as necessary.  A dynamic and strategic leader, you will direct CNO operations, by interpreting and implementing the policy decisions of Council, informing the organization on regulatory and other relevant issues while evaluating overall performance.  Judicious in your approach, a pivotal aspect of your position will be to execute the authority as Registrar of CNO, under RHPA legislation, from initiating formal investigations into alleged misconduct or incapacity, to appointing the investigator and ultimately carrying out the orders of a panel regarding the revocation or suspension of, or attachment of special conditions to, a member’s licence. You will apply your judgement and discretion, particularly in decisions concerning investigations and the appointment of investigators. Using your outstanding interpersonal and collaborative skills and your significant leadership experience within a challenging environment, you will foster positive working relationships between Council and staff. Proficient in strategic planning, program development/evaluation, agency partnership/collaboration, and policy development, you will collaborate with nursing groups/organizations, other professions, employers, agencies, and government to develop CNO policy, facilitate information sharing, and promote effective self-regulation. A confident and clear communicator with excellent media relations skills, you will be representing and speaking for CNO, promoting, and interpreting its policies and activities, and creating a positive and proactive image for CNO in a variety of externally focused roles. The challenges and opportunities offered by the role of ED & CEO call for an RN or RPN who is eligible for registration with CNO. A master’s level degree in business, public or health administration, nursing, or a related area is considered an asset. As a forward-thinking leader, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the current health care environment in Ontario, and the challenges the nursing profession is currently facing and is projected to face, together with a solid understanding of the challenges of a regulatory environment and the essential requirement to protect the public in self-regulated health professions. This executive mandate calls for senior management experience, preferably in the health industry, a full range of business skills acquired through relevant education and experience, and skills in organizational leadership, including strategic management of human, financial, physical and information resources. Equally important for success is the ability to work effectively through a large Council comprised of elected members of the nursing profession and appointed representatives of the public. The ability to travel extensively, both within and outside Ontario, is essential in this role. To apply for this executive role, submit your application to Phelps, at careers@phelpsgroup.ca , specifying the job title in the subject line of your e-mail. Application deadline: September 9th, 2021. The College of Nurses of Ontario is committed to employment equity and encourages applications from all qualified candidates.
