As the Executive Administrative Assistant, you will be closely connected to senior and executive leadership, acting as a key enabler of strategic priorities that directly impact healthcare delivery across the system. You will work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment —coordinating complex schedules, supporting high-level meetings, and ensuring the seamless flow of information across internal teams, government partners, healthcare agencies, and external stakeholders. Your work will help keep critical initiatives on track and ensure that decisions are supported by timely, accurate, and well-prepared information. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute meaningfully behind the scenes of healthcare leadership.

If you thrive in a role where organization, coordination, and proactive problem-solving make a real difference, this is an opportunity to be at the centre of meaningful work that supports better outcomes for patients and communities.

Additional responsibilities include processing expenses and invoices and providing administrative support for human resources activities such as recruitment coordination, onboarding, documentation, and records management. The position regularly handles confidential and sensitive information and requires sound judgment, discretion, and strong organizational skills to support the priorities of the CNO and the broader portfolio.
