Full time
St. Joseph’s at Fleming is a Catholic, faith-based home, dedicated to serving persons of all faiths in long-term care. The organization was formed in 2004, as the result of a partnership between Marycrest Home for the Aged, Anson House, and Fleming College. Marycrest Home for the Aged and Anson House had a long and respected tradition in the community, boasting over 235 years of combined experience in providing quality long-term care in Peterborough and the surrounding region. When a 1998 assessment determined that the old buildings would have to be rebuilt, Marycrest Home for the Aged and Anson House made the historic decision to amalgamate and invite Fleming College into a new and unique partnership.
Today, the tradition and goals of the Sisters of St. Joseph remain strong. St. Joseph’s at Fleming has expanded its learning partnerships and educational opportunities while remaining true to its long and distinguished histories with a solemn commitment to residents and their families.
The organization is now at a critical juncture and has a unique opportunity to revitalize and build overall governance and strategic capacity which will lead it into the future. This revitalization includes the recruitment of a new Board of Directors and a new President & Chief Executive Officer.
