The candidate will lead the co-creation of evaluation studies that will be grounded in Indigenous evaluation principles, and may utilize a combination of evaluation types (i.e. process, outcome, impact), as well as various approaches (i.e. developmental, utilization-focused, and empowerment). The Consultant-Evaluation and Knowledge Synthesis (Indigenous Evaluation) will navigate multiple projects simultaneously and will develop and nurture meaningful relationships with internal partners and programs within CAMH, as well as with external partners within the mental health and addictions system in Ontario, in addition to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities and service providers.

    The Consultant-Evaluation and Knowledge Synthesis (Indigenous Evaluation) will be experienced in community engagement and facilitation, both in person and virtually and will have an understanding of principles and practices of Indigenous engagement along with demonstrated community connections. The successful candidate will have a thorough understanding of the health, mental health and the social service sector, government programs and current legislation that may affect Indigenous peoples. Experience with supporting the development of Indigenous-led evaluation frameworks is a requirement of this position. Report writing skills are required, particularly the ability to communicate complex data in clear language for multiple audiences, including the creation of visual representations. Experience in a number of knowledge mobilization activities such as writing for academic and non-academic audiences, preparing project reports, presentations, and publications for peer-reviewed journals is required.

    The incumbent will have demonstrated success working and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams on team-based projects, supporting regular and strategic communication with a range of partners and stakeholders to enable transparency and trust.

    The successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Possess the ability for self-directed learning/working, as well as collaboration and teamwork and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision;
  • Demonstrate adaptability, flexibility, diplomacy and consideration;
  • Excellent planning and time management skills, with ability to multi-task, produce and coordinate projects to tight deadlines;
  • Strong interpersonal communication skills including experience developing and maintaining partnerships and networks of significant numbers of internal and external partners;
  • Creative problem-solving abilities and organizational skills with the ability to adapt to dynamic project needs;
  • Bilingualism in French/English or an Indigenous language would be an asset. This position may require travel throughout Ontario, including remote First Nations communities.
