Concerts in Care Ontario – RFP HR / Succession Planning

Summary

Concerts in Care Ontario has a complement of 4 people – Executive Director (employee), Music Coordinator (contract), Artistic Advisor (Contract) and Bookkeeper (contract). Mainly two of us run over 400 professional concerts per year for seniors in various care and living facilities across Ontario.

Demand is present and growing for far more than 500 concerts per year in the GTA, Ottawa, Sudbury, Windsor, Hamilton, and London, plus touring and video concerts.

We need an assessment of our current HR complement, capacity, and future projections, together with HR Facilitator for three 2-hour strategic discussions with our Board committee and staff re structure, responsibilities, timing, recruitment, onboarding, and recommended transition, as well as draft job descriptions.

Concerts in Care Ontario presents professional musical programming that brings joy, relief, and beauty to a range of seniors’ care communities across Ontario. Our concerts provide a focal point for building bridges between elders, caregivers and family while engaging powerful emotions which activate memory and improve mood for seniors who may be isolated and withdrawn.

We curate concerts performed exclusively by top-calibre professional musicians. Managers know that our turnkey service is as excellent as the music.

We serve long-term & memory care, assisted & independent living, and palliative care facilities, and seniors living at home who are members of Seniors’ Active Living Centres (SALCs). In March 2023, we launched a series with Homes First where homeless seniors comprise 50% of the population, and we conducted our first three tours to underserved centres, including our first exchanges with indigenous communities.

We now deliver across five channels: In person, both inside and outdoors; live interactive Zoom concerts, free virtual recorded concerts, and touring.
