Dean Jobs in Delta, BC

destinationone Consulting is proud to partner with the  City of Surrey  in the search for a Health Care Administrator - a collaborative, solutions-focused leader who will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare across one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities.

As a globally recognized leader in building vibrant, sustainable communities through innovation and technology, the City of Surrey is home to a diverse population of more than 600,000 residents. With this growth comes the responsibility to ensure every resident has equitable access to high-quality healthcare. This new leadership role has been created to close service gaps, strengthen partnerships, and deliver tangible results for Surrey’s residents.

The successful candidate will be a builder and convener—a widely respected leader, whether a senior clinician, health-system administrator, or experienced health-sector executive—trusted across the system and skilled at bringing people together. Reporting directly to the City Manager, the Health Care Administrator will serve as Surrey’s primary municipal lead for healthcare planning, earning credibility and trust from day one.

The Ideal Candidate

The City of Surrey is seeking a respected leader with :

• A collaborative, solutions-oriented leadership style – someone who highlights Surrey’s successes while constructively advancing improvements, celebrating what’s working and pushing for more without grandstanding or adversarial posturing.
• Proven delivery – a demonstrated track record of expanding access to primary care (e.g., clinics, attachment initiatives, novel care models), managing complex multi-stakeholder projects under tight timelines, and turning policy into on-the-ground services.
• Deep knowledge of British Columbia’s health system – including Fraser Health operations, provincial roles, funding and contracting pathways – alongside strong existing relationships across the sector.
• Political acuity and communication strength – the ability to brief elected officials, engage media with measured, evidence-based language, and provide clear, trusted public communication.
• Commitment to equity and cultural safety – with experience working respectfully alongside Indigenous partners and diverse communities.
• High integrity, discretion, and a non-partisan approach – ensuring trust and credibility from day one.

Scope

Are you looking to join an award-winning employer with a commitment to organizational growth and development? In response to the deepening health care crisis in Surrey, the City of Surrey is seeking a Health Care Administrator to directly confront health-care inequities and advocate for meaningful, measurable change.

Reporting directly to the City Manager, the Health Care Administrator will serve as the primary municipal lead for addressing health-care service gaps in Surrey. This role will involve cross-sector collaboration, in-depth policy research, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning.
