If you are looking for a challenge and seeking to be part of something larger than yourself, this position could be for you.

Position Summary/Description

HSO is developing a new edition of the Organ Donation standards. The new standard will provide guidance to enable the delivery of safe, equitable, and people-centred, comprehensive, and coordinated organ donation services. It will support the needs and preferences of individuals, families, caregivers, and communities, applying to all populations, age groups, and health care settings where organ donation activities occur.

The standard will address the social, ethical and cultural dimensions of organ donation, emphasizing equitable access to services and the promotion of informed consent. It will cover a range of activities including awareness and education, donor identification and referral, clinical management of donors, and recipient allocation processes.

The standard will outline the roles, responsibilities, planning, performance, safety, equity-informed care, and quality improvement initiatives to enhance the organ donation process. It will include measurable, outcomes-based requirements designed to improve organ donation rates, enhance the quality and safety of organ donation services, and ensure alignment with ethical and legal standards.

In your role as a TC member, you will:

• Work with key interest holders and experts from Canada and internationally in the revision or development of HSO standards under the Technical Committee’s purview.
• Bring the perspective of your professional or lived experience.
• Advise and reach consensus on the topics for inclusion and the content of the standards through a series of meetings.
• Maintain effective communication and knowledge transfer amongst Technical Committee members and the HSO staff.
• Provide guidance to HSO staff on standard(s) related interpretation questions and inquiries related to technical content of the standard(s).
• Promote the adoption of standards once published.

Desired experiences and skills

TC members should:

• Have subject matter expertise through professional and/or lived experience.
• Have demonstrated experience working in collaborative settings, and exhibiting the diplomacy, tact, and respect required for group interactions.
• Be able to commit to the time investment and constraints as required for Technical Committee activities.
• Be able to work and collaborate with others in English, as this is the working language of the Technical Committee.

You’ll stand out if you...

• Have previous experience working in a consensus-based team model.
• Have previous experience developing standards or other policy documents.
• Value professional integrity, credibility, and a commitment to ongoing improvement.
• Have strong critical thinking, judgement, and management skills.
• Approach everything with positivity, innovation, and credibility.
