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.

Medical, with dental, vision, and life available.

Paid sick leave per California and San Francisco requirements.
