Trillium Health Partners, one of Canada’s largest community-based teaching hospitals, is actively recruiting for a Senior Communications Advisor to join the Mississauga Health team in Mississauga, Ontario. This temporary full-time position, expected to last 18 months until April 1, 2025, offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a new kind of health care, focused on the well-being of people and communities. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in supporting strategic initiatives across a diverse portfolio, working closely with various internal and external partners. This includes engaging cross-sectoral stakeholders, enhancing the organizational brand through effective marketing, and ensuring the delivery of strategic goals and priorities that ultimately improve health services and experiences for the community. The role is integral to communicating complex health information clearly and effectively to a broad audience, reflecting the commitment to compassionate, excellent, and courageous care.
As a Senior Communications Advisor, this individual will be responsible for the comprehensive planning, development, and implementation of high-quality internal and external strategic communications programs. A significant part of this role involves synthesizing and sharing crucial information with Mississauga Health leadership, member organizations, and community partners to enhance health outcomes. Key duties include developing proactive and reactive communication strategies, conducting research, writing, and editing diverse materials, and creative conceptualisation for various channels. The advisor will lead the development and oversight of Mississauga Health’s social media strategy, manage content creation across digital platforms, including the website, and provide essential leadership support for communication requests from key planning tables and the Collaboration Council. Furthermore, the role involves developing innovative community engagement approaches, focusing on historically marginalized populations, and managing brand development and marketing strategies to increase awareness and access to health resources. This position requires a strategic thinker with proven experience in issues management and a deep understanding of effective communication in a health care environment.
The ideal candidate for this senior position will possess a university degree in communications, public relations, or journalism, complemented by at least five years of experience in communications and public affairs, specifically in progressively senior roles. Exceptional oral and written communication skills are paramount, including strong writing, editing, and production abilities, with familiarity with Canadian Press Style. Candidates must demonstrate robust interpersonal and consulting skills, excellent customer relations, and client management capabilities, enabling them to work effectively under pressure, meet tight deadlines, and manage competing priorities. Proven experience in navigating complex communications structures and programs at multiple organizational levels is essential, alongside the ability to manage multiple clients. The role demands strong conceptual skills, systems thinking, and the capacity to deal with ambiguity. While not mandatory, knowledge of municipal and provincial governments, including the Ministries of Health and Long-Term Care, and an understanding of the regional health care and social services landscape, would be considered significant assets. Experience working with leadership and executives, particularly within a health care setting, is also highly valued for this strategic role.
