Job description

Dynamic Leader Wanted: Care Manager – Service Expansion in Halifax, Nova Scotia to Drive Growth

You

Are you a dynamic leader eager to spearhead our expansion into Nova Scotia? Do you see yourself as the face of home care in your community – from launching day one to building a trusted local name? If you’re energized by pioneering growth and setting the gold standard for care in Halifax or Toronto, this role was built for you.

We’re seeking someone excited to shape our service model in new markets, cultivate crucial partnerships, and develop a successful team. If you view challenges as opportunities and are prepared to drive our next stage of growth, this role is for you.

This is not a maintenance position; it’s a ground-floor leadership opportunity in a new territory where you will define our approach, build key relationships, and create the service model that will define our future.

Us

We’re Kindred Home Care – a values-driven, fast-scaling company trusted by over 1,000 caregivers and thousands of families across The Maritimes. We’ve earned that trust by being hands-on, responsive, and radically people-first.

Now, we’re bringing that same proven model to new provinces – starting with Toronto and Halifax.

Our team is small, scrappy, and obsessed with impact. No bloated org charts or endless meetings. Just smart, fun, driven people working hard to reach a huge goal: 4 million hours of care by 2030.

This is a rare opportunity to be the first Care Manager to plant Kindred’s flag in a new province. Your fingerprints will be on every success story that follows—from the first hire to the first 100 clients.

What You’ll Do

• Lead market entry: Contribute to our overall growth strategy in [ON/NS], bringing Kindred’s care model to life in new communities.
• Build brand presence: Cultivate and secure relationships with key referral sources, health authorities, and community stakeholders.
• Grow the team: Develop and implement local caregiver recruitment plans; hire and mentor your initial cohort of staff.
• Support first clients: Conduct initial assessments, customize care plans, and ensure rapid onboarding.
• Systems and Processes: Tailoring existing workflows to meet local needs while leveraging support from centralized teams.
• Represent Kindred: Be our voice at regional events, town halls, and foundational community engagements.
• Inspire a culture: Model positivity, resilience, and our core values from day one to build a committed and joyful team.
• Track engagement impact through qualitative and quantitative data to inform service, team, and growth improvements.

What You Bring

• Reside in the HRM and open to regional travel.
• Proven experience launching new ventures or expanding operations in a service-based industry.
• A track record in relationship building, growth strategy, and operational leadership.
• Comfort working in ambiguity and charting your own path—with centralized support.
• Strong decision-making skills, initiative, and a bias toward action.
• 3+ years of leadership experience managing teams or territories.
• The ability to speak additional languages is considered an asset.

Who You Are

• A connector. You engage others with warmth, credibility, and follow-through.
• A builder. You thrive on challenge, solve problems creatively, and love to get things off the ground.
• A leader. You set the tone, hold the bar high, and inspire others to follow your lead.

Why Join Kindred?

Be more than an employee—be a builder. You’ll shape our next chapter as we expand into new markets, with tight-knit support, real ownership, and room to grow. Let’s build something meaningful together.

Apply now and help us make exceptional home care possible—everywhere.
