The Organization: Shalom Manor & Gardens is a faith-based, non-profit organization that is home to 144 residents living in long-term care (Shalom Manor) and 36 assisted living suites (Shalom Gardens). Our vision is to provide a Christ-centered journey in a loving community.

Shalom Manor was founded in the 1970s and has faithfully served seniors within the Dutch Reformed Christian community since. Recognizing the need for expanded services in the province, we are currently building a second site in Hamilton, Ontario – Faithstone Manor & Gardens – with an expected opening in Spring/Summer 2027.

The Opportunity: At our Home, nursing care is about more than meeting clinical standards – it is about honouring the dignity, worth, and individuality of every resident entrusted to our care. This is an opportunity to influence the future of care in a faith-based community where service, compassion, stewardship, and respect guide our work.

Reporting to the Administrator and working closely with an experienced leadership team, you will lead a nursing department of more than 200 team members, supported by the Associate Director of Resident Care. This position requires full-time hours, plus rotational on-call requirements.

• Ensure nursing services meet legislative and regulatory requirements, support quality improvement initiatives, manage core regulatory programs, and promote accurate clinical and interRAI LTCF documentation.
• Lead and support strategic and organizational goals.
• Contribute to and lead strategic and operational planning, department goal setting, resource stewardship, and the implementation of new programs and services that enhance resident outcomes.
• Strengthen communication and engagement.
• Foster effective communication with staff, residents, families, physicians, committees, and community partners, creating a collaborative and solution-focused care environment
