Maxwell Management Group Ltd. is proud to partner with Shalom Manor & Gardens in the search for a
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to join their team.
Lead with Faith. Serve with Vision. Build a Legacy. Fulfill a Purpose.
Shalom Manor & Gardens, a Christian non-profit organization, is seeking a visionary CEO to guide the organization through an exciting period of growth and change. Rooted in servant leadership, this leader will inspire teams, nurture a strong faith-centred culture, and steward the organization through one of the most significant chapters in its history.
With a history of growth at the Grimsby campus and the opening of a new campus of care in Hamilton in 2027, named Faithstone Manor & Gardens, the CEO will help shape a future defined by compassion, excellence, and meaningful service for generations to come.
Founded in the 1970s, Shalom Manor and Gardens has faithfully served seniors within the Reformed Christian community, offering long-term care, assisted retirement living, and a culture of compassion that reflects Christ’s love. With more than 300 staff and over 90 volunteers – and a team that will soon double- Shalom Manor and Gardens is preparing for expansion while remaining true to its founding purpose.
The Opportunity:
As CEO, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across two campuses, ensuring Shalom Manor and Gardens continues to deliver high-quality, person-centred care aligned with resident directed living and grounded in Christian values.
You will:
- Oversee construction, staffing, and the successful launch of the new Hamilton site.
- Champion a culture of servant leadership and model decision making throughout the organization with Christian values within a highly government-regulated environment.
- Work closely with the Board on strategic planning, policy development, and governance.
- Strengthen relationships with donors, church networks, government, and healthcare partners.
- Ensure long-term financial sustainability, overseeing an operating budget projected to grow from $14.5M to over $30M.
- Ensure residents and families consistently experience dignity, respect, and a strong sense of belonging in a Christian home.
Who You Are:
You are a committed Christian leader with a deep sense of calling to serve seniors. You bring:
- 5+ years of senior leadership experience, preferably in healthcare, long-term care or related regulated environments, with demonstrated success in multi-site operations, capital development, and change leadership.
- A degree in Health or Business Administration or a related field; a Master’s degree is an asset.
- Long-Term Care Administrators’ Certification (or eligibility/willingness to obtain in Ontario).
- Proven ability to build strong, collaborative teams, manage labour relations and work effectively within unionized environments.
- A leadership style marked by humility, resilience, discernment, and the ability to make timely informed decisions.
- A personal commitment to the Christian faith, with the ability to integrate those values into organizational culture, leadership practices, decision-making and strategic direction.
Why Lead at Shalom Manor & Gardens?
- Shape the future of a respected Christian organization entering a bold new chapter.
- Lead a passionate team, supported by an engaged Board and strong community partners.
- Play a central role in one of the largest Christian long-term care expansions in Ontario.
