Job Description

Most corporations lack a social purpose that would make their work meaningful.  So when you find an organization that combines purpose with the level of impact and commitment to improving lives that’s something special. We’re Lumenus Community Services () .  In April 2020, Adventure Place, The Etobicoke Children’s Centre, Griffin Centre, and Skylark Children Youth & Families amalgamated to form Lumenus Community Services.  Our vision is to provide excellent, accessible, and integrated mental health, developmental and community services, where every client has the opportunity to be seen, heard and be well. If you are looking for an opportunity to develop professionally, work with interesting and sophisticated technologies, and be part of an excellent team doing meaningful work, we want to hear from you. Manager, Information & Communication Technology (ICT) As our new Manager ICT, you’ll report to the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) and will be responsible for the organization’s ICT infrastructure, application and cloud service design, implementation and operation.  This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to and implement a multi-year strategic plan that will bring four former organizations into one new ICT structure. You’ll supervise a third-party consultant and a team of approximately 5 direct reports to implement and oversee our helpdesk, monitor our main applications and operating systems, manage cybersecurity along with perimeter security and design, and implement a disaster recovery plan that is tested monthly. Specifically, you will :

• Contribute to, execute, and adapt a multi-year plan, and strategies, policies, and processes for modern and sustainable infrastructure and support services
• Set and align vision, direction, and service standards with that of the organization and its needs, including security, privacy, disaster recovery, business continuity, web development, and cloud-based solutions

• Facilitate collaborative technology integration into service environments to improve outcomes

• Promote a high-performance culture that leverages your team’s individual capabilities and strengths, while empowering them and holding them accountable As our new manager, you will help us execute our strategic ICT plans, so that we can continue to provide leading, high quality services to our clients.  You will be responsible for more than just managing systems and applications - you will be connecting people with technology that enables them to work well.  You will help people adopt new technologies and embrace the organizational transformation they bring forward. While your technical expertise will be the foundation of success in this role, what will set you apart is your passion for new and innovative technologies, combined with your ability to be a true agent and champion of change.  You’ll not only inspire people to get on board with the new systems and tools, but through education and engagement, enable staff to enhance and understand their value. Working @ Lumenus Community Services This is a full-time, permanent position, located in North York, near Finch & Dufferin. You’ll work Monday – Friday, 9 - 5 with occasional on-call responsibilities.  During the pandemic, most of your work will be done remotely, with office work and travel to our multiple locations across the GTA gradually introduced into your schedule.  In addition to a starting salary commensurate with experience, you’ll receive a compensation package that includes full benefits, a defined contribution plan (after 1 year of service) and 4 weeks’ vacation to start.
