About MAiDHouseMAiDHouse is the operating name of Assisted‑Dying Resource Centres Canada (ARCC), a national registered charity. We provide guidance, education, support and access to space for individuals eligible for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) and those who walk alongside them filling the gap between healthcare and death care with knowledge, coordination, community, and dignity. We believe dying on your own terms should be accessible to everyone. All MAiDHouse services are offered at no charge, grounded in compassion and care.Community Care Coordinator – Role OverviewThe Community Care Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the delivery of MAiDHouse Toronto's on-site services. This role is built around a continuum of support from the moment someone first contacts MAiDHouse (whether through self‑referral or through an assessor or provider) through the day of provision and into the follow‑up care and resources offered in the days and weeks that follow. This continuum is grounded in guidance, education, and compassionate support, not clinical care.MAiDHouse Toronto is staffed by two Community Care Coordinators, each engaged at 50% scope, working in equal collaboration on an alternating weekly rotation. The two roles are equal in standing and responsibility; neither holds seniorityor supervisory authority over the other. Bothreport directly to the Executive Director. This is a service coordination and relationship management position. The successful candidate will be highly organized, emotionally intelligent, adaptable, and passionate about ensuring equitable access to dignified end‑of‑life care.What we're looking for:Emotional maturity and groundedness - supporting people through deeply significant momentsFlexibility and adaptability - responding to the unpredictable nature of end‑of‑life careStrong boundaries and self‑awareness - knowing where you end and others beginCommunity‑building skills - nurturing relationships with providers, volunteers, and stakeholdersAttention to detail - maintaining meticulous documentation and following established systemsCalm presence - managing emotionally heightened situations with grace and professionalismHow This Role WorksThe two Community Care Coordinators alternate single‑week or two‑week rotations (structure confirmed with the Coordinator pair), Wednesday to Wednesday, so that each Contractor's rotation week includes the full weekend within it. During the rotation week, the Contractor is the primary on‑site service provider for all MAiD provisions, including those that fall on weekends. Weekend responsibility does not transfer between rotations. During non‑rotation weeks, the Contractor is available for clarification, consultation, and emergency backup coverage as needed. A standing Wednesday handoff check‑in between the two Coordinators supports continuity at each rotation change. MAiD provisions are typically arranged 48–72 hours in advance. The Contractor must be available to respond within that timeframe during their rotation week. The schedule may include early mornings, late afternoons, and weekends during rotation weeks. While each Coordinator is engaged at a 50% scope, the model is built for real life. The default is an equal rotation, but there is flexibility for the split to shift temporarily to 60/40 or 70/30 – to accommodate approved leave or changing operational needs. Any such adjustment is made collaboratively between the two Coordinators and with Executive Director approval. Base compensation reflects the contracted scope and does not change for minor coverage adjustments; extended coverageis addressed as set out in the contract. Time off is discussed collaboratively between the two Coordinators first, then submitted for Executive Director approval with a confirmed coverage plan. Neither Coordinator is obligated to cover the other's leave, and all arrangements are entered into voluntarily.Primary ResponsibilitiesService CoordinationCoordinate with MAiD providers, individuals, families, volunteers, designated funeral homes, home and community care services, and nursing agenciesProvide on‑site support and facilitation on the day of provisionComplete all required documentation, including booking paperwork, inquiry tracking, service data, and database recordsEnsure the space is prepared, welcoming, and meets all needsManage and administer all aspects of accessing the space, providing guidance and support, including grief and bereavement resourcesOffer follow‑up support and connect individuals and families with appropriate resources in the days and weeks following a provision, as neededContribute to operational procedures as requested, policy development rests with the Executive DirectorApply change, risk,
