About the Role
Do you believe health equity is a right, not a privilege? Are you passionate about leading with purpose, championing systemic change, and building healthier, more just communities?
At CCHC we don’t just deliver care, we work alongside the community to transform the conditions that shape health. As a non-profit multiservice Community Health Centre, serving more than 21,000 individuals each year, we are deeply committed to supporting those most affected by inequities: isolated senior population, the LGBTQ+ community, Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities, francophone, those affected by mental illness and addictions, people who experience homeless, individuals and families on low income, and newcomers to Canada.
We are seeking a bold, collaborative and values-driven leader to join our Senior Management Team as Director, Integrated Health Services.
Why This Role Matters
As Director, Integrated Health Services, you will be both a strategic visionary and operational leader, guiding a team that delivers high quality, client-centred primary health care through the clinic and outreach services. More than that, you will:
• Shape the future of primary care at CCHC and across our catchment area of Centretown, the Glebe and Old Ottawa South
• Build on CCHC’s reputation as a leader in the provision of trans health services, and in mental health, substance use, and addiction care
• Build on CCHC’s reputation as a trusted advocate and innovator in community-based care
• Build and nurture partnerships with hospitals, community agencies, academics and researchers, policy makers and peer CHCs to advance equity-driven policies and services
• Continue to advance the CHC model as a cornerstone of Ontario’s health system.
Your Impact
• Lead with purpose: Inspire and support an interprofessional team of physicians, nurse practitioners, and diverse allied health professionals.
• Advance equity: Ensure services are designed and delivered with and for communities facing systemic barriers.
• Influence systems: Represent CCHC and the CEO at decision-making tables, championing equity-driven policies and expanding services for priority populations.
• Shape the future: Drive innovation in our integrated health services through program evaluation, continuous improvement, and community collaboration.
Who You Are
• A values-driven leader who believes in justice, equity, and community voice and psychologically safe workplaces.
• A strategic thinker with experience building and leading high-performing teams.
• A relationship-builder who thrives in partnership and cross-sector collaboration and supporting your dedicated teams.
• A change agent excited to strengthen CCHC’s role as a leading voice in health equity.
• A steady and adaptive leader —able to manage complex operational demands without losing sight of long-term strategic goals.
The Opportunity
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the Director, Integrated Health Services directly supervises a team of primary care providers (nurses and physicians), and three managers who oversee inter-disciplinary teams. The position oversees both day-to-day operations and long-term systemic change. You will play a central role in shaping organizational strategy, advancing health equity, and ensuring the sustainability and impact of CCHC’s work. This is a chance to transform how health care is delivered and experienced – locally and systemically.
