Job Description:
Ottawa is built on un-ceded Algonquin Anishinaabe territory. The peoples of the Algonquin Anishinabek Nation have lived on this territory for millennia and we honour them and this land. Their culture and presence have nurtured and continue to nurture this land. CHEO also honours all First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples and their valuable past and present contributions to this land.
CHEO is one of the few stand-alone, global leaders in pediatric health and is home to more than 6,500 staff, clinicians, scientists and researchers, as well as volunteers – all of whom work together to help children and youth achieve their best lives. Within its own walls and through partnerships with community providers, CHEO has transformed from a 20th century acute care hospital into a 21st century integrated child and youth health system.
Ranked in the top 1% of Canadian hospitals for the digitization of its clinical infrastructure, CHEO combines excellence in clinical care, research, and education to advance seamless care that’s provided where, when, and how it is needed. CHEO’s Research Institute is dedicated to world-class clinical, translational, and basic science research covering a wide range of children’s health concerns. CHEO has been named Canada’s best health-care employer by Forbes in 2024, 2025 and 2026 and is ranked second among Canadian hospitals on its list of Canada’s Best Employers for multiple consecutive years. For the 14th consecutive year in a row, the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers has recognized CHEO as a top employer in the National Capital Region. Every year CHEO helps more than 500,000 children and youth from Eastern Ontario, western Quebec, Nunavut and Northern Ontario.
CHEO’s Integrated Treatment Centre will improve care and increase access to services for kids and youth living with complex medical, developmental, behavioural or mental health needs. The new 6-storey building will be located on CHEO’s main campus and will be connected by a link to the main hospital. Building a new integrated treatment centre also provides us with a unique opportunity - to reimagine and innovate how CHEO provides care to children and youth with these complex needs. We are developing a new model of care for these kids, one that will create an integrated, consistent and coordinated approach to care for each individual child and youth. We will continuously evaluate the care we provide and adapt along the way to achieve the outcomes that are most important to families. Clinical research will be woven throughout, so that how we provide this care will be evidence-informed.
