Organizational Development Consultant

In April 2024, the Boards of St. Mary’s General and Grand River Hospitals both independently voted in favor of a voluntary merger of the Hospitals to form a new hospital organization. This evolution of our partnership will occur alongside our joint redevelopment work, as we strive to build a new acute care campus in the community. We welcome talent to both St. Mary’s General Hospital and Grand River Hospital that are ready to be part of an exciting, generational change for hospital care in Waterloo Region.

We are Building the Future of Care Together (BFCT) by developing a shared vision for the future of health care and new hospital infrastructure to care for more patients in our community closer to home for decades to come. Working towards a shared vision, Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital will join together as a merged hospital. All sites will be governed by the new, single organization following the planned merger of Grand River Hospital and St. Mary’s General Hospital in 2025.

We currently have a full-time opportunity available for an Organizational Development Consultant in the Learning & Organizational Development team.
