We are committed to championing accessibility, diversity, equal opportunity and maintaining a barrier-free selection process for job applicants.

All new employees shall be fully vaccinated against COVID 19-prior to their start date.
For clarity, fully vaccinated means that 14 days have elapsed after completion of your vaccine series (i.e. full two doses). The Hospital’s Occupational Health team will require evidence of full vaccination prior to an employee’s start date. If not fully vaccinated, the Hospital’s Occupational Health team can assist successful applicants with setting up the necessary appointments to become fully vaccinated, but any start date may be delayed to the date on which a successful applicant becomes fully vaccinated. The hospital’s requirement that successful applicants be fully vaccinated is subject to any accommodation obligations it may have under the Human Rights Code. Employees shall also be required to obtain boosters or other vaccinations related to COVID-19, as deemed necessary by the Hospital, and any failure to do so will be considered wilful misconduct and/or disobedience and will result in the termination of the Employee’s employment without notice or pay in lieu thereof.
