Communications Coordinator

Description:

At CHEO, our vision is the best life for every child and youth. Ensuring that information is shared in a timely fashion – when, where and how families need it – matters to us, and it matters to the children, youth and families we serve.

As the Communications Coordinator you will engage with families to hear and incorporate their voice as we strive to meet their health care needs. You will do so through a number of communication initiatives, including but not limited to: supporting the rollout of CHEO’s social media plans across multiple channels, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and LinkedIn; creating compelling content for the corporate website and responding to public enquiries; and contributing to family newsletters.

On a project by project basis, assigned by the Chief Communications Officer, the coordinator will also support CHEO staff by responding to the communications needs of the children, youth and families we serve.

The ideal candidate is good at, and energized by, working on a wide range of diverse projects; an effective multi-tasker; strong project manager; highly creative thinker; superior writer; and motivated to make a positive, measurable impact.
