Opportunity now exists for a proven leader to join the CYMHSUC as its new Project Director. The Project Director, reporting strategically to the SCC and operationally to the SCC Executive Lead, is the primary lead on behalf of the SCC to work with the CYMHSUC Steering Committee and resources such as Impact BC. 

The Project Director’s primary objective is to support the pace of innovation and change experienced by physicians and allied colleagues across program areas, regardless of their sponsorship group. 

Further to this, the Project Director leads the development and implementation of mechanisms that build and sustain partnerships across and within the Collaborative; promote relationships for effective interaction; enhance communication; foster team orientation; and enable the management of complex change.

The ideal candidate brings a degree in Business Administration or Public Administration, or a health-related degree, combined with relevant work experience. Alternatively, an equivalent combination of education and experience will be considered. 

He/she must ideally have an understanding of the health care system including knowledge of health regions and acute based services, or a similar complex public engagement environment in social or public services. Additionally, superior planning, organizational, presentation, communication, and interpersonal skills are critical.

This is an incredible opportunity to help pioneer and steward the emerging collaborative service model for child and youth mental health and substance use in BC.
