**Req ID**: 39890
**Faculty/Division**: UofT Mississauga

**Position Number**: 00043069

**Description**:
**About us**:
U of T Mississauga—the second largest campus of Canada’s top-ranked university and the only research university in Ontario’s booming Peel Region—is one of the world’s great catalysts of humanpotential.

Our employee community hums with the energy of 3,400 faculty, librarians and staff, who power our campus with curiosity, connection and care. We work together to spark life-changing research and innovation, make an indelible mark on the world by building equitable cities and societies, enable healthy lives, create a sustainable future and ignite entrepreneurship. Above all, we prioritize student success, and seek to give our 16,500 students the lift of a lifetime through learning and discovery. We love to open opportunities available nowhere else for our community to achieve their ambitions and make their unique contributions to Canada and the world.

This work all comes together on a spectacularly green campus, alongside the Missinihe-ziibi (Trusting Creek or Credit River), where we seek to honour truth, reciprocity and reconciliation on the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, Seneca and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We’re thrilled to welcome those who want to learn more about us and to be part of what we do.

The Health & Counselling Centre (HCC) is a multi-disciplinary health clinic that provides student-friendly medical care, mental health counselling, and health education and promotion programs and services to a diverse student population of over 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Toronto Mississauga campus. The HCC staff strive to empower students to make healthier, evidence-based choices to support their growth and development, assist students in their pursuit of academic success, and promote adoption of positive coping skills to foster greater resiliency in the pursuit of current and future goals. The HCC staff work closely with other departments across the University with the goal of ensuring students have timely access to quality medical and mental health supports.

Accessibility Services provides academic accommodations and services for students with disabilities and promotes a fully integrated university experience by ensuring that students have the opportunity to access and participate in all areas of student life. In partnership with a variety of Student Affairs and academic departments, Accessibility Services provides comprehensive programming throughout a student’s university career to foster greater resiliency and promote the development of knowledge and skills that are transferable to their future goals.
