About the role
Join CHEO’s Expanding Pediatric Perfusion Services Team
CHEO is actively building its cardiovascular team and welcoming expressions of interest from certified perfusionists at all stages of their careers — including soon-to-be graduates and experienced professionals. As our programs grow, we are committed to investing in the future of pediatric heart care.
Since 1974, CHEO has been a leader in pediatric health — delivering specialized care to children, youth, and families across eastern Ontario, western Quebec, and parts of Canada’s North. Each year, we serve over half a million patients, providing care that is evidence-informed, compassionate, and grounded in deep community commitment.
As part of Ontario’s two-site pediatric cardiovascular surgery program (in partnership with SickKids Hospital in Toronto), CHEO plays a critical role in ensuring children across the province have timely access to complex cardiac care, close to home. Our perfusionists are essential members of this team, supporting surgeries and life-sustaining interventions including cardiopulmonary bypass and ECMO.
We are looking to connect with candidates who are:
- Certified by the Canadian Society of Clinical Perfusion and/or the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion
- Graduates of an accredited Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology program
- Skilled in or eager to develop experience in pediatric perfusion
- Committed to collaborative practice and clinical excellence
Successful candidates may be eligible for a retention premium, on-call premium, and a 23% market premium applied to the base hourly rate ($52.15–$64.50).
Submit your resume to speak with a Talent Acquisition Specialist about current and future opportunities! This is not a posting for a single vacancy — we are growing our team and looking to build a talent pool of exceptional professionals who are ready to contribute to a high-performing, deeply respected pediatric program. If you’re passionate about patient care, motivated by teamwork, and interested in joining a pediatric centre that has twice been recognized by Forbes as one of Canada’s best healthcare employers — we invite you to connect with us.
