*La version Francais suit* POSTING: DIRECTOR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS Ottawa Salus Ottawa Salus has been an unwavering champion for people living with mental illness for over 45 years. We offer a first step in the recovery process – a stable home environment – including a transitional rehabilitation program, shared homes and independent living.&nbsp; We provide mental health programs and services customized to meet each client’s unique needs on their journey to well-being and independence. The work of Salus is overseen by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors which provides governance leadership to our President and Chief Executive Officer and their team.&nbsp; When Directors retire after serving their terms, Salus seeks new directors to fill those vacancies on the Board, individuals committed to our vision for addressing Ottawa’s housing and homelessness challenges. Recently, Salus has updated its governance structure, Bylaw, policies and accountability standards, and approved a new Strategic Plan.&nbsp; We aim to increase the diversity of our Board and we encourage candidates from all equity-deserving groups and younger demographics to apply. This posting has been published on a broad range of recruitment platforms with the goal of reaching diverse candidates. About Ottawa Salus Our vision is stable housing for everyone. Our mission is to “create opportunities for adults with mental health, substance use health and addictions challenges to live independently by improving access to housing and a community of integrated support services”. Annually for over 45 years, Ottawa Salus has provided housing and support services to more than 1000 adults in our community who are living with serious mental health, substance use health and addictions challenges. Salus’ core conviction is that a home is the first step to a healthful and successful life. In addition to living with serious mental health, substance use health and addictions challenges, many of our clients have been reliant on the shelter system, have a history of chronic homelessness, or are at risk of becoming homeless. While Salus owns and operates 14 accommodation buildings across the city, Salus is much more than a landlord providing affordable housing. Our exceptional model of care is fundamental to making housing a reality for so many people because of the mental health, substance use health and addiction support services provided by Salus’ highly qualified and caring staff. Services offered by Salus include case management, community development services, recreation therapy and occupational therapy. Position Description Salus’ Board of Directors is a governance board currently fixed at 13 Directors representing a diversity of skills and backgrounds. &nbsp;Directors are nominated and elected to the Board on the basis of their skills, experience, interest, personal integrity, and commitment to respect and further the philosophy, mission and values of Salus.

Salus est convaincu qu’un foyer est la première étape d’une vie saine et réussie. En plus de vivre avec de graves problèmes de santé mentale, de toxicomanie et de dépendance, beaucoup de nos clients ont été dépendants du système des refuges, ont un passé de sans-abri chronique ou risquent de devenir sans-abri.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bien que Salus possède et exploite 14 immeubles d’hébergement dans la ville, l’organisme est bien plus qu’un propriétaire fournissant des logements abordables. Notre modèle de soins exceptionnel est efficace pour faire du logement une réalité pour tant de personnes, grâce aux services de soutien en matière de santé mentale, de toxicomanie&nbsp;&nbsp;et de santé fournis par le personnel hautement qualifié et attentionné de Salus.
