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.

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
