How Schlegel Villages supports our Team Members:

• Significant opportunities for growth and development: Our leaders come from within;
• Ongoing team member appreciation incentives and generous rewards and recognition;
• Extended health benefits and retirement savings;
• Individualized assistance for team member education and development;

• Financial Hardship Support Program: Wilfred Schlegel Hope Fund;
• A unique family culture: Every person in every village is a branch of our family tree.

As our new Assistant Director of Nursing Care, you will:

Support and embrace our resident-centred social culture and be proud to deliver the highest quality of clinical care to our residents. Our Assistant Directors of Nursing Care work as key members of our leadership team to support our self-directed nursing and clinical team members in bringing to life clinical programs and quality outcomes that focus on flexible living and quality of life.

They support the clinical and nursing team in HR-related functions, track and analyze trends, drive quality assurance initiatives, and participate in village-wide committees and working groups.

Our Assistant Directors of Nursing Care support our neighbourhood multidisciplinary teams in understanding residents’ individual needs, provide clinical leadership and guidance, and advocate for residents to actively participate in decisions about their care. They provide training and education to the clinical team and manage inventory and supplies.

Fostering exemplary relationships with residents, their families, and the village team to deliver holistic care and provide specialized clinical services and expertise is essential.

As a new Assistant Director of Nursing Care, you should:

• Possess a current registration as a Registered Nurse (RN) with the College of Nurses of Ontario.
• Hold current Heart Save Level of CPR.
• Have three (3) years of experience leading and directing departments in a healthcare setting.
• Be excited by our objectives, our village philosophy, and the family values that shape all aspects of life in a Schlegel Village.
• Display a caring and respectful attitude toward residents, families, and team members.
• Understand the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the role.

It would be an asset, but not required, if our new Assistant Director of Nursing team member has:

• Experience working in a long-term care or retirement home setting.
• RNAO / RPNAO membership.
• MDS credential (optional, dependent on village size).
• An awareness and understanding of infection control practices, workplace hazardous materials and chemicals (WHMIS), and all relevant health and safety procedures.
• Skill in operating common hand and power tools.

We are redefining elder care through innovation, village design, and culture change. The key to our success and our residents’ satisfaction is YOU and our teams.

We aim to provide all community members, including team members, with a life-enriching experience. We are family-owned and operated, committed to our mission: “to provide holistic health care in a home environment, within an internal neighbourhood design that promotes a caring community with emphasis on optimal health and life purpose for each resident.”

We’d love to talk to you about what makes us different.
