Step into a leadership role where your actions directly support safe, high-quality care in a complex and ever-changing correctional health environment. As an Assistant Health Care Manager, you'll partner closely with the Health Care Manager to coordinate clinic operations, support primary care and psychiatry services, oversee nursing staff, and ensure the timely ordering of medical supplies and medications. You'll also play a key role in advancing the electronic medical record system, liaising with Infection Prevention and Control partners, and supporting occupational health initiatives. In this fast-paced setting, you'll regularly support front-line staff in troubleshooting barriers—often navigating competing priorities between healthcare and institutional operations—while collaborating with key partners such as staff sergeants and operational managers to get results. This role is ideal for a strong, people-centered leader who combines assertiveness with kindness and leads through influence, trust, and collaboration. You'll be responsible for guiding and encouraging your team, while also managing critical HR-related processes such as scheduling and invoicing—making a background in these areas essential. Success requires someone who is highly organized, able to manage multiple priorities, and willing to step in beyond standard hours when needed. A true team player and relationship-builder, you'll foster a respectful and inclusive workplace while driving accountability and performance. For a motivated leader who thrives in a dynamic environment and is committed to supporting both staff and patient outcomes, this role offers a meaningful and rewarding opportunity. Leadership That Makes a Difference At its core, leadership in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) is about creating positive change for people and communities across Ontario. We're looking for leaders who are authentic, accountable, and courageous. People who bring others together, ask bold questions, and lead with purpose.

Manage staffing and key HR-related processes by overseeing scheduling and invoicing, supporting attendance and performance management, and contributing to recruitment and retention efforts while ensuring alignment with collective agreements and ministry expectations.
Collaborate with key operational partners to get results by building strong relationships with staff sergeants, managers, and institutional stakeholders to navigate competing priorities between healthcare and operations and ensure coordinated, effective decision-making.

En tant que chef adjoint des services de soins de santé, vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec le chef des services de soins de santé pour coordonner les opérations relatives aux services cliniques, soutenir les services de soins primaires et de psychiatrie, superviser le personnel infirmier et garantir la commande des fournitures médicales et des médicaments en temps opportun. Vous jouerez également un rôle clé dans l'avancement du système de dossiers médicaux électroniques, en assurant la liaison avec les partenaires de la prévention et du contrôle des infections et en soutenant les initiatives de santé au travail. Dans ce contexte au rythme soutenu, vous soutiendrez régulièrement le personnel de première ligne dans l'élimination des obstacles — souvent en conciliant des priorités concurrentes entre les soins de santé et les activités de l'établissement — tout en collaborant avec des partenaires clés comme les sergents d'état-major et les chefs des opérations pour obtenir des résultats. Ce poste convient parfaitement à une personne qui exerce un leadership fort et centré sur les personnes, qui allie l'assurance et la gentillesse, et qui dirige par l'influence, la confiance et la collaboration. Vous serez chargé de guider et d'encourager votre équipe, tout en gérant des processus essentiels liés aux ressources humaines comme l'établissement d'horaires et la facturation, ce qui rend essentielle une expérience dans ces domaines. Pour réussir dans ce rôle, il faut être très organisé, capable de gérer de multiples priorités simultanément et prêt à intervenir en dehors des heures normales de travail au besoin. Véritable joueur d'équipe et bâtisseur de relations, vous favoriserez un milieu de travail respectueux et inclusif, tout en favorisant la responsabilisation et le rendement.

Collaborer avec les principaux partenaires opérationnels pour obtenir des résultats en établissant des relations solides avec les sergents d'état-major, les chefs et les intervenants de l'établissement afin de concilier des priorités concurrentes entre les soins de santé et les activités et d'assurer une prise de décision coordonnée et efficace.

About security checks: A criminal or other federal offence record does not automatically disqualify you from the position. We consider each situation based on the position's responsibilities. If a check is needed and you've lived outside of Canada in the past 5 years for 6 or more months in a row, or if you are not a Canadian resident, you'll need to provide an out-of-country police clearance certificate from the country you lived in. Employment screening checks are only reviewed and evaluated by the Transition and Security Office, which also maintains them and keeps them strictly confidential.

En tant que chef adjoint des services de soins de santé, vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec le chef des services de soins de santé pour coordonner les opérations relatives aux services cliniques, soutenir les services de soins primaires et de psychiatrie, superviser le personnel infirmier et garantir la commande des fournitures médicales et des médicaments en temps opportun. Vous jouerez également un rôle clé dans l'avancement du système de dossiers médicaux électroniques, en assurant la liaison avec les partenaires de la prévention et du contrôle des infections et en soutenant les initiatives de santé au travail. Dans ce contexte au rythme soutenu, vous soutiendrez régulièrement le personnel de première ligne dans l'élimination des obstacles — souvent en conciliant des priorités concurrentes entre les soins de santé et les activités de l'établissement — tout en collaborant avec des partenaires clés comme les sergents d'état-major et les chefs des opérations pour obtenir des résultats. Ce poste convient parfaitement à une personne qui exerce un leadership fort et centré sur les personnes, qui allie l'assurance et la gentillesse, et qui dirige par l'influence, la confiance et la collaboration. Vous serez chargé de guider et d'encourager votre équipe, tout en gérant des processus essentiels liés aux ressources humaines comme l'établissement d'horaires et la facturation, ce qui rend essentielle une expérience dans ces domaines. Pour réussir dans ce rôle, il faut être très organisé, capable de gérer de multiples priorités simultanément et prêt à intervenir en dehors des heures normales de travail au besoin. Véritable joueur d'équipe et bâtisseur de relations, vous favoriserez un milieu de travail respectueux et inclusif, tout en favorisant la responsabilisation et le rendement.

Au sujet de l'emploi

Collaborer avec les principaux partenaires opérationnels pour obtenir des résultats en établissant des relations solides avec les sergents d'état-major, les chefs et les intervenants de l'établissement afin de concilier des priorités concurrentes entre les soins de santé et les activités et d'assurer une prise de décision coordonnée et efficace.
