Our purpose is to protect the public by promoting safe nursing practice. Just like nurses who uphold CNO’s standards every day, CNO staff are also accountable. Every day CNO staff initiate, innovate and lead new programs to strengthen patient safety in our health care system.

Working at CNO

Our more than 300 staff come from different professional backgrounds including nursing, law, policy development, finance, human resources, communications, information technology, customer service, administration and facilities. Everyone at CNO brings something unique to our work and our culture. It’s what makes us successful and working at CNO so rewarding.

We are focused on achieving our purpose and are united by our core values: Innovation, Integrity, Collaboration and Wellbeing. We understand that individual success is as diverse as the people who work at CNO and our inclusive and welcoming environment supports everyone’s desire to be successful at work and in life.

Location

Our office is located at 101 Davenport Road in Toronto, a short walk from the Yorkville shopping district and the Bay Street subway station.

We acknowledge that this land is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples.

Work Environment 

We offer staff the flexibility to work onsite and virtually through teleworking. Skylights fill CNO’s newly redesigned building with natural light and staff can work in any of the individual or collaborative workspaces throughout the building. Our barrier-free building includes comfort features such as ergonomically designed workstations, bike parking, individual lockers, shower facilities, filtered water stations and a spiritual observance room. Our staff Café is a favourite space for staff to connect, celebrate milestones and enjoy fun events hosted by the Social Committee.
