ABOUT YOU

You’re not satisfied with the status quo, you want to do more with your talent, and you want to have an impact on others and be passionate about your work.

ABOUT CAPITALIZE FOR KIDS

The Problem : Wait lists for mental health services are getting longer. New funding into the mental health system is not effectively keeping up with demand.

As a result, we’re left with a challenging question; how do community mental health service providers help more kids with the funding they have?

Our Solution : We provide pro-bono consulting services through our internal team of consultants to improve operational efficiency for community child and youth mental health service providers.

On some projects, we are also supported by top-tier consulting firms including Accenture, Boston Consulting Group, Botsford Associates, Carly Rian Group, McKinsey, MNP, Pemeco Consulting, RBC and Sia Partners.

Our beneficiaries have included Kids Help Phone, Strides Toronto, The George Hull Centre for Children and Families, Everymind, Yorktown Family Services, and many other organizations across Canada.

We work with individual agencies and on system-level initiatives to scale our potential to improve services across the sector.

There is so much demand for our services that we need help taking on more and larger projects. That's where you come in. We're looking for a consultant or senior consultant with experience working with organizations to develop and implement operational improvement solutions, and in our case, you will deploy that expertise for the benefit of child and youth mental health service providers across Canada.

We believe that bringing business discipline and diverse perspectives is foundational to getting the most out of the solutions that we provide and the services we support.

Our Office

Our office is located at 1 St Clair Ave. West, Suite 300 (at Yonge and St. Clair). We work in an open concept office that is ideal for team collaboration and camaraderie.

We operate at our physical location on a hybrid basis.

A Day in the Life

It’s cliché, but incredibly true no two days are alike. By the nature of the work we do, our days vary dramatically depending on the projects we’re working on and where in the process we are.

Project planning, process mapping, facilitating workshops, developing work product, conducting business intelligence and analytics, and implementing projects across advisory and technical engagements could be the order of the day.

You are always at the ready to analyze data, processes, and technologies, contributing to understanding current state and tackling critical problems for both internal business functions and external beneficiary projects.

Your expertise will be used to research and make recommendations about processes, training, equipment, and technology to improve operations.

Create automated data reports to inform our business, including documentation, toolkits, and create FAQ guides where appropriate.

Some weeks we’ll be heavily focused on identifying capacity opportunities with a beneficiary in their office, while other weeks we’ll be working closely with a pro bono consulting partner designing solutions.

Other days are spent with our headphones plugged in, cramming through data analysis and sector research. If you’re someone who loves variability in your work and enjoys solving tough problems, then Capitalize for Kids is the perfect fit.

Thank you for your interest in Capitalize for Kids! We look forward to reviewing your application.
