## Job description

Health Link Home Health & Hospice

San Francisco, CA (HQ-based, with travel to branches in San Francisco, the East Bay, and the South Bay) | Full-time | Reports to CEO | $140,000–$180,000 per year, DOE, plus a discretionary annual performance bonus]

## 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.

## Benefits

Medical, with dental, vision, and life available.

401(k).

10 days accrued paid vacation.

Paid sick leave per California and San Francisco requirements.

All benefits subject to plan documents.

Health Link Home Health & Hospice is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected by law. Qualified applicants with criminal histories will be considered in accordance with the California Fair Chance Act and the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Regional focus**: Deeply contracted provider networks in Missouri and Illinois allow lower costs for employers without paying for nationwide coverage they don’t need.
- **Local, accessible team**: Small, dedicated staff who can quickly resolve issues across departments – positioned as an extension of the client’s business.
- **Self-funding expertise**: Helps employers of all sizes adopt self-funded plans, which can be exempt from many costly health reform provisions and offer more control over plan design and costs.
