SUMMARY

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital ("the hospital") has a vision to create the most meaningful and healthy futures for all children, youth and families.

Reporting to the Vice President, Experience, Transformation and Social Accountability (ETSA), the Manager is a collaborative, results oriented, creative and strategic thinker who can work with a wide range of people to support transformative change.

The Manager is committed to creating an inclusive and anti-oppressive environment, and identifying and addressing barriers to allow all hospital community members to thrive and fully participate by bringing their whole selves to work and achieving a sense of belonging.

Building on the hospital's commitment to social and racial justice, the Manager will strengthen and co-create programs and services designed to drive the hospital's annual Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Anti-Racism (IDEAA) work plan, with particular focus on improving the experiences of clients and families, students, volunteers and employees from equity-seeking communities.

In alignment with Holland Bloorview's mission, vision and values, and guided by feedback from both internal and system partners, the Manager will direct implementation of both short and long term programming, including accountabilities for the effective design, implementation and evaluation of the hospital's annual IDEAA work plan.

As part of the key partners the Manager will work with, they will be expected to grow and maintain working relationships with the hospital's community of students and trainees, Youth and Family Leaders (lived experience volunteers), clinicians, non-clinical employees, leadership, and regional health networks.
