SIMCOE MUSKOKA DISTRICT HEALTH UNIT

There are amazing co-workers to work with. 
The hours are good and everyone is very supportive if you need help or clarification with anything. 
Make sure you know the rules of the health unit (all the fine print) and make sure you follow it closely as not to get on the wrong side of management. 
Can be fast and slow paced depending on the time of year but there is always work you can find to be done.
This is one of those jobs you get and want to hold onto as its a great one!

An educational and inspirational workplace with new and exciting challenges.  A place where one grows and develops individually by learning new information.  Opportunities to share and learn from co-workers and become an asset to the team.  Management is respectful of the needs of the employee and provides direction and leadership.  The hardest part of the job is meeting all the needs of the client while the most enjoyable part of the job is feeling rewarded by helping direct and guide them to reach their own potential.

Great staff. Met so many wonderful people. The programs are pretty siloed though. More collaboration would be beneficial. Also very us vs them feel from staff vs upper management. Not very open about updates changes. As a contract staff that was stressful. Union makes it very hard to get a permanent position. Interviews are also heavily weighted/scored, so if you have a bad interview, your previous experience doesn’t seem to matter. And if you have low seniority, forget it. Overall though, good place to work. 

Great place to work. Great people. Little room for advancement. Depending on the department they prefer to hire external. A lot of red tape when trying to move forward with projects. 
Encourage partnerships with community partners. Great learning experience when dealing with public and community agencies. 
Although days seem busy and number of projects increases every year, the agency has a very slow pace due to revisions, micromanagement, and multiple approvals before implementing interventions.

Pay is good, but HR and management dysfunctional. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Training of newer employees is poor, sometimes left to staff who are also new, or job insecure, therefore not providing good training. Inconsistent training methods. Busy days, good scope of tasks, great variety of job duties.

Meeting about who is eligible for covid shot that day. Interview them and record all necessary data. Some days check them out after a certain amount of time

Typical day included, document preparation, minute taking, maintaining website for Healthy Schools and Healthy Communities programs. 
The hardest part of the job was managing 3 programs at the same time.
Management support was not great, most support came from co-workers.
The most enjoyable part would definitely be the team of co-workers I worked directly with, very friendly and supportive.

It was certainly an experience as I was employed as Administrative for COVID-19.  The clients would either be upset or appreciative that we were there.  Working from the Orillia Rotary Place I could not have asked for any better Co-coordinators.  I met some new people and we all became friends.  We all looked forward to the morning huddle.  My background was accounting and never knew what a huddle was.

The people are very accommodating.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The irate patients who are very demanding.

Busy as usual but not always only on clinic days mostly.

I have only worked with the SMDHU on a casual basis thus far, but my experience has been an enjoyable one where you look forward to going to work. The public health and wellbeing is truly their primary concern.
