POSITION SUMMARY
We are looking for an individual with compassion and empathy, who have high levels of organization. Our Part-Time Family Services Coordinators work within the family experience, providing frontline support all the way from the initial hospital referral, supporting the family experience during their stay, and helping families prepare to return home. Located inside the LHSC Children's Hospital, the Ronald McDonald Family Room provides support and reprieve to families of children staying at the hospital, from coffee and snacks to a quiet place to wait for updates, or take a much needed nap.
