As an Assistant Health Care Manager, you'll help lead a multidisciplinary team in a dynamic correctional health environment that combines healthcare leadership, operational oversight, and clinical decision-making. This role is ideally suited to a Registered Nurse with strong acute care and leadership experience who is comfortable making sound decisions in complex and evolving situations. With expanding responsibilities in labour relations, staffing, budgeting, and HR functions, you'll help guide a healthcare team through significant change while ensuring the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care. Working in a correctional health setting requires adaptability, clinical judgment, and the ability to respond confidently to diverse patient needs where no two situations are ever quite the same. This is an excellent opportunity for a people-centered leader who thrives in a supportive, mentoring capacity while remaining confident in making independent operational and clinical decisions. You'll provide day-to-day managerial guidance, foster an inclusive and respectful workplace, and support a team delivering care to a patient population with varying levels of medical complexity. Strong organizational skills, sound clinical judgment, proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications, and a collaborative leadership style will help you excel as you coordinate operations, manage staffing resources, and contribute to a high-performing healthcare team. Leadership That Makes a Difference At its core, leadership in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) is about creating positive change for people and communities across Ontario. We're looking for leaders who are authentic, accountable, and courageous. People who bring others together, ask bold questions, and lead with purpose. About the job We believe great leadership starts with high standards and strong support. In the OPS, that means showing up with authenticity, acting with integrity, and having the courage to do what's right, even when it's hard. As a leader, you'll shape a team culture that sparks innovation, supports collaboration, and champions inclusion. You'll help build a workplace that is diverse, anti-racist, and accessible, where everyone feels safe, respected, and able to thrive. You won't be doing it alone. We invest in our leaders through mentorship, learning opportunities, and cross-ministry networks that help you grow your impact and connect with peers across the organization. Leadership is about impact, and in this role, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful one. You will: •Lead daily health service operations by coordinating nursing, medical, and allied health activities while supporting clinical decision-making and ensuring high-quality patient care within a secure correctional environment. •Support clinical leadership and patient care delivery by providing guidance on complex patient situations, assessing risks, and helping staff respond effectively to changing healthcare needs. •Provide supportive, people centered leadership through mentoring, coaching, and ensuring staff feel capable, equipped, and confident in their roles. •Manage HR, labour relations, staffing, and workforce planning functions including scheduling, performance management, attendance support, training needs, and adherence to collective agreements. •Oversee quality and safety standards by monitoring trends, evaluating service delivery, and ensuring compliance with legislation, policies, and professional practice requirements. •Coordinate financial, operational, and clinical resources including budgeting activities, pharmacy operations, diagnostic providers, professional fee-for-service contracts, and staffing resources to support effective healthcare delivery. •Maintain secure and efficient operations by ensuring proper handling of medications, records, equipment, and participating in risk management and problem solving activities. Your ability to align your team's efforts with broader organizational goals will be key to your success, and to the success of the people we serve.
