Do you have a passion for making a difference?

At Cardinal Creek Residence, we are passionate about Making EVERY Moment Matter. We are seeking a Director of Care – Admin who shares our values — someone with a strong moral compass, commitment to teamwork, and a drive to deliver excellence in resident care.

Making Every Moment Matter is about improving the little things that make life enjoyable — providing comfort, creating connections, and making every resident feel valued, safe, and supported.

At Cardinal Creek Residence, residents come before anything else. Guided by our PEOPLE philosophy — Participation ~ Excellence ~ Openness ~ Performance ~ Longevity ~ Efficient Use of Resources — we foster a culture where care is person-centred, staff feel empowered, and every voice matters.

  • Develop and monitor resident-focused programs, policies, and procedures.
  • Lead quality improvement initiatives to enhance resident care and safety.
  • Manage nursing budgets, supply ordering, and monthly variance reporting.
  • Investigate complaints, conduct inspections, and implement corrective actions as required.
  • Ensure clinical programs (falls prevention, pain management, palliative care, etc.) are in place and evaluated regularly.
  • Support and coach team members, fostering professional growth, accountability, and a positive workplace culture.
  • Build strong communication channels across teams, residents, and families.
  • Inspire a culture of person-centred care and continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

  • Registered Nurse in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario, or eligible under Bill 60 provisions.
  • At least 1 year of RN experience in the long-term care sector.
  • Minimum of 3 years in a managerial or supervisory healthcare role, or equivalent LTC nursing leadership experience.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of nursing practices, long-term care legislation, and resident rights.
  • Strong leadership, collaboration, and conflict-resolution skills.
  • Experience with budgeting, staff performance, and risk management.
  • Ability to provide compassionate, person-centred care and to support residents with responsive behaviours.
  • Proof of current vaccines, TB testing, and Vulnerable Sector Check.
  • French or Italian language skills are considered assets depending on location.

Why Join Us?

  • A values-driven, supportive culture where residents and staff come first.
  • Opportunities for leadership development, mentorship, and growth.
  • The chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of residents, families, and your team.
