The role
Health Link Home Health & Hospice has grown steadily across the Bay Area for over 20 years. We're hiring a Director of HR to build and own the function end-to-end across our three branches.
This is a build role, not a caretaker role. You'll design the systems, set the standards, and own the outcomes — with a real seat at the table on how we hire, retain, and develop people.
What you'll own
- Full-cycle recruiting across all three branches: requisitions, sourcing strategy, vendor and job board spend, and interview design
- Employee relations — investigations, corrective action, and separations, documented to a defensible standard
- HR policy, the employee handbook, and consistent application across locations
- Compliance with federal, California, and San Francisco employment law, including wage and hour, leave, accommodation, and pay transparency
- Healthcare-specific compliance: licensure tracking and verification, exclusion screening, background clearances, mandatory training, and personnel records that hold up at survey
- Onboarding, benefits administration, leave and accommodation processes
- Workforce planning, retention strategy, and the HR and recruiting budget
What you'll need
- 5+ years of progressive HR leadership, including ownership of employee relations and compliance
- Direct experience running full-cycle hiring, a recruiting budget, and vendor relationships
- Working knowledge of California and federal employment law
- Demonstrated ability to conduct and document workplace investigations
- Bachelor's degree in HR, business, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- Valid California driver's license and reliable transportation, or another reliable way to travel between branches
Preferred: home health, hospice, or multi-site healthcare experience; familiarity with healthcare employment compliance; SHRM-CP/SCP or PHR/SPHR.
