Baycrest is a globally recognized leader in the field of aging, offering a unique and rewarding opportunity to be part of an organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of older adults. As a comprehensive academic health sciences centre, Baycrest provides a full spectrum of care, including independent living, long-term care, specialized hospital services, and innovative research. The campus is a dynamic and supportive environment where every team member contributes to transforming the way they care for older adults and advancing groundbreaking research in brain health.

This is a rare chance to shape the employee experience at one of Canada's most respected health and research organizations. As Baycrest continues to lead innovation in aging and brain health, the Director of Employee Relations will play a critical role in building a workplace culture where people thrive.

With a proven track record in unionized environments, you bring the ability to balance compliance with creativity – resolving challenges while building trust and engagement. You're not just an expert in legislation and policy; you're a coach, a culture builder, and a change agent who inspires confidence at every level. Your communication skills allow you to navigate sensitive issues with clarity and integrity, and your collaborative mindset ensures that leaders feel supported and empowered. If you are passionate about shaping a workplace where people feel valued and safe, and you want to influence the future of care in a globally recognized organization, this role offers the platform to make a lasting impact.
