Workplace Inclusion
At SickKids, we care deeply about creating a workplace that is fair and inclusive for everyone. When you work here, we want you to thrive as your authentic self – bringing the unique ideas, skills, perspectives and lived experiences that make you you.
SickKids is committed to championing equity, diversity and inclusion in all that we do, fostering an intentionally inclusive and culturally safe environment that reflects the diversity of the patients, families and communities we serve. We encourage applications from members of equity priority groups including Indigenous persons, Black and racialized persons, persons with disability, and persons who identify as women and/or as 2SLGBTQIA+.
Guided by the SickKids Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, every day we strive to be an organization where everyone has an equal opportunity to grow, develop and succeed, at all levels. An inclusive SickKids where every patient, caregiver, employee, colleague, learner, volunteer and member of the public can feel acknowledged, valued and respected.
Self-Identification for prospective external candidates
We invite applicants to participate in the Self-Identification survey to help us design data-driven measures to make recruitment equitable and inclusive.
Accessibility & Accommodation
We aim to create a barrier-free environment and to provide accommodations to support candidates, employees and volunteers with equitable and accessible services, programs and facilities.
If you require accommodation during the application process, please reach out to our aSKHR team. SickKids can provide access and inclusion supports to eligible candidates to support their full engagement during the interview and selection process as well as to ensure candidates are able to perform their duties once successfully hired.
If you are invited for an interview and require accommodation, please let us know in advance of the interview. Information received related to access, inclusion or accommodation will be addressed confidentially.
Recognizing and celebrating differences
At the heart of SickKids is the people who work to carry out its mission every day. We recognize that a diversity of perspectives, lived experiences, and identities enriches our organization.
By recognizing and celebrating differences, we foster inclusion and belonging for all members of the SickKids community.
As an employer, we are working to ensure equitable access to job and volunteer opportunities through our recruitment and talent advisory processes and supporting leaders to prioritize inclusivity in every talent search.
EDI best practices are embedded throughout the recruitment and hiring process at SickKids, known as the Inclusive Recruitment Pathway, including:
- Expanding recruitment areas and job boards to broaden reach for prospective employees and volunteers;
- Designing more inclusive job and volunteer postings and recruitment experiences that focus on essential requirements, competencies and nice-to-haves to improve expanded access to opportunities;
- Providing ongoing training opportunities and resources on best practices for hiring managers to enable more inclusive recruitment and hiring; and
- Ensuring awareness of and access to accessibility and accommodation supports. For more information, visit our accessibility page.
