Position Summary:
The Lead Charge Nurse (LCN) is a key member of the leadership team, responsible for supporting the delivery of safe, effective, and resident-focused care within our small, local retirement residence. This role oversees clinical and administrative processes including medication management, care planning, audits, staff supervision, and scheduling, while ensuring the care team remains well-trained, supported, and motivated.

Working closely with the Director of Care, the LCN plays an active leadership role on the floor while also supporting operational and quality initiatives. The successful candidate must be flexible and available for rotating shifts including days, evenings, weekends, and occasional nights as operationally required; however, the primary schedule will consist of full-time day shifts. The position follows a 12-hour shift rotation, working 7 shifts within a two-week period.

Support recruitment, interviewing, onboarding, orientation, and retention of wellness staff including RPNs and PSWs.
Provide leadership, supervision, mentorship, and performance coaching to team members.
Complete performance evaluations, monitor attendance, and support progressive discipline when required.
Ensure policies, procedures, and clinical systems are consistently followed through spot audits and department reviews.
Promote a positive, respectful, and collaborative workplace culture.

3. Training, Development & Team Engagement

Coordinate and track mandatory education and ongoing training requirements.
Provide hands-on clinical support, coaching, and leadership on the floor.
Foster staff engagement, accountability, and professional growth.
Lead by example in delivering compassionate, resident-centered care.
Encourage teamwork, communication, and continuous improvement within the wellness department.

4. Compliance, Safety & Risk Management

Ensure compliance with the Retirement Homes Act, RHRA standards, CNO standards of practice, and internal policies and procedures.
Support ministry inspections, licensing requirements, audits, and corrective action plans.
Promote infection prevention and control measures and workplace health and safety practices.
Participate in emergency preparedness planning and response.
Maintain confidentiality and protect resident privacy in accordance with applicable legislation.

Qualifications:

Current registration as an RN or RPN in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO).
