Director of Community Services

Director of Community Services

An exciting career opportunity for a confident, collaborative senior manager who can build effective, positive partnerships and direct human, financial and physical resources to ensure the delivery of quality, accessible community services to all those that call Peterborough home.

Located in the heart of Ontario’s scenic Kawarthas region, an area known for its exceptional quality of life and access to a wide array of amenities, the City of Peterborough is committed to ensuring that all its residents – 82,000 and growing strong – have equal access to the City’s goods, services and facilities. The City promotes a safe, healthy workplace, and its employees strive for excellence every day in providing the very best service possible.

This senior role at the helm of Peterborough’s Community Services Department calls for a highly skilled leader with proven success in managing performance and delivering results. As one of only six senior managers for the City, you will not only be able to direct your own Department, but also possess a corporate view of matters and be able to balance your own Departments priorities with the greater Corporate good. Peterborough are seeking a manager who is committed to quality customer service and comfortable working in a complex, changing environment with multiple stakeholders.

Reporting directly to the Chief Administrative Officer, and indirectly to City Council, you’ll lead the planning, implementation and evaluation of all activities related to the Community Services Department, a sizable portfolio that includes five divisions (and 15 related facilities) – Arenas; Arts, Culture and Heritage; Recreation; Social Services; and Sustainability – along with serving as Corporate Liaison with the Peterborough Public Library. As a member of the Administrative Staff Committee, you will represent the City at all times, including through membership of outside groups/organizations.

As Director of Community Services, you’ll be the most senior manager in the Department and, as such, will advise City Council and administration on the planning, establishment, implementation, funding and evaluation of policies, programs, procedures, projects, special events and by-laws relating to Community Services, including any legislation, programs or funding opportunities potentially affecting the Department. Division managers within the Department will look to you for expertise, guidance and direction relating to policy decisions, procedures, general operations, and the management of personnel, facilities, buildings, equipment and financial resources, including the proper maintenance of all equipment, buildings and facilities allocated to the Department.

The successful candidate for this key role will bring no fewer than 10 years of senior management experience in a related field, preferably in a municipal environment, backed by a university degree or equivalent. A master’s degree or a certificate in Municipal Management, such as the AMCTO Certified Municipal Officer (CMO) designation, would be considered an asset.

You combine direct facility management experience with a track record of capably managing and leading people and programs, identifying and achieving corporate policies and objectives, managing and evaluating programs and projects, developing a budget, managing finances, and measuring performance, and show a sound understanding of applicable legislation and policies. These include the Municipal Act, the Heritage Act, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, the Occupational Health and Safety Act, human services legislation and, ideally, the City of Peterborough’s plans, policies and by-laws.

Flexible, tactful, and able to deal effectively with senior management and represent the City at various committee, board and intergovernmental functions, you possess strong analytical, presentation, communication and administration skills, and experience in creative problem-solving, championing and facilitating change, and building confidence among peers, City Council, and the community. As the exceptional leader this position demands, you’ll have a clear sense of purpose and be self-motivated, positive, confident and approachable, respectful of diverse opinions and perspectives, and willing to share information with others and solicit input in order to achieve common goals and objectives.

To be considered for this exciting leadership role, please forward your resume, in PDF form, to Phelpsgroup at PeterboroughDCS@phelpsgroup.ca by April 6, 2018.

Initially reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian National Exhibition Association, the Executive Director will be a critical member of our senior management team.

About the Canadian National Exhibition Association

The Canadian National Exhibition

The CNE, or The EX as it is also known, is Canada’s largest fair and the fifth largest fair in North America. Taking place over the 18 days leading up to and including Labour Day Monday, the CNE offers a wide variety of interactive entertainment experiences.

A cherished tradition for the people of Toronto and surrounding communities, the CNE attracts approximately 1.5 million visitors annually. The fair generates an annual economic impact of approximately $93.1 million for the Greater Toronto Area and $128.3 million for the province of Ontario.

The CNE is held at Exhibition Place, a 192-acre site along Toronto’s waterfront on the shores of Lake Ontario and just west of downtown Toronto.

The Canadian National Exhibition Association is the provincially incorporated agricultural society that organizes the annual CNE in Toronto. Operating since 1879, the CNEA encourages and promotes agriculture, horticulture, the arts and manufacturing. A corporation without share capital, the CNEA became independent from the City of Toronto and the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place on April 1, 2013.

Reconciliation

The CNEA has a renewed commitment to Indigenous Peoples and to fostering reconciliation. In 2017, the CNE was officially opened by an Indigenous leader for the first time in its history: Chief R. Stacey Laforme of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.

Exhibition Place is located on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. In recognition of this and the CNE’s historic role in the community, the CNEA works collaboratively with Indigenous community partners on the development of programs.

Accessibility and Inclusivity

The CNEA is dedicated to ensuring that all guests and members of the organization are treated fairly and equitably. Over the past year, the CNEA has worked diligently with the CNE Advisory Council on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities to improve accessibility and inclusivity at the CNE at all levels, from employment through to admissions and customer service.

In the fall of 2017, the CNEA received the Champion’s League Award from the Ontario Disability Employment Network for its leadership role in promoting the inclusion of people who have a disability in the workplace.
