Careers

Midwifery Practice & System Manager

Leadership Role | April 2026

The AOM Benefits Trust (AOMBT) proudly administers a comprehensive benefits program designed specifically for registered midwives in Ontario and other eligible members of the midwifery community. Guided by a Board of ten Trustees and supported by a dedicated team of skilled professionals, AOMBT delivers a program that is equitable, continuously evolving, and competitive within the broader benefits landscape.

Our commitment is to provide a best-in-class member experience — ensuring plan members receive the support they need, when they need it, with care and integrity at the heart of everything we do.

Building AOMBT’s Midwifery Navigation Model

Recruitment of the Midwifery Practice & System Manager is the first step in building AOMBT’s Midwifery Navigation model — grounding programs in real midwifery experience and laying the foundation for a second role: direct Midwife Navigator support, launching in early fall.

This leadership role focuses on upstream system design, advocacy, and program development. Future Navigator roles will provide direct, individualized support to midwives navigating financial, wellness, and disability-related challenges.

Purpose of the Role

The Midwifery Practice & System Manager works upstream across the midwifery sector to strengthen practice capacity, system coordination, and prevention-focused approaches to wellness, disability, and sustainable work health.

The role integrates credible midwifery insight into AOMBT program design and service development, ensuring that financial, wellness, and disability initiatives are grounded in real midwifery practice, lived experience, and system realities.

This role also plays an advocacy function, supporting midwives through system-level engagement on wellness and disability issues, including:

Equitable funding structures
Access to appropriate supports
Advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles across AOMBT initiatives

Advocacy efforts are grounded in lived experience, practice realities, and a commitment to reducing systemic barriers within the broader midwifery and health system context.

The ideal candidate is a proactive self-starter who thrives both independently and collaboratively, and who is energized by dynamic, fast-paced environments focused on meaningful impact.
