Children's Health Foundation raises and grants funds
in support of Children's Hospital at London Health
Sciences Centre, Thames Valley Children's Centre and
Children's Health Research Institute.
What makes our business click: Our team works
hand-in-hand with donors, volunteers and healthcare
staff to strengthen and transform paediatric healthcare
in our region. We believe that every child deserves
to have their medical and rehabilitative needs met
with the best possible care and discover what they're
uniquely capable of achieving. We get to see the
impact of our work daily.
Why our organization is a great place to work: The
word " great " makes up our core values at CHF. Each
day we share gratitude for our colleagues, donors and
volunteers. We respect each other's skills, differences,
and expertise. To ensure excellence in our organization
we encourage professional development. We authentically
care for one another, hold each other accountable,
share in celebrations and stand by one another for our
human moments. And most of all, we trust one another
to always do our best.
Here's something we do a little differently:
Nonprofit organizations often experience high turnover.
To recognize loyal and hardworking staff, after every
five years worked at CHF each employee is granted a
four-week paid sabbatical to use as they please. We
have talented individuals we want to keep happy and
healthy, and this helps not only refresh the team but
also rewards them for dedicated service to the cause.
What our employees are saying: " CHF staff treat each
other as people first and employees second. We know
that doing our best for kids and families means taking
care of one another as well. We all fumble at times, but
we thrive on working through these difficulties together.
It's the way we pick each other back up that makes the
difference here. " - Lauren McAlea-Phillips, Storytelling
