Human Resources Coordinator

About the role

For more than two decades, Health Link has delivered compassionate home health and hospice care to families across the Bay Area. Our work is personal — we show up for patients during some of the most meaningful chapters of their lives. The people who do that work deserve to feel just as supported as the patients they serve, and that's exactly what this role is about.

Why this role exists

We're looking for an HR Coordinator who will genuinely take ownership of the employee experience at Health Link — someone our staff can turn to and trust, and someone who treats the regulatory rigor of home health as part of how we care for our people.

What you'll own

• Recruiting — writing job posts, screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and making sure every applicant has a respectful, responsive experience whether or not they're hired
• Onboarding and offboarding that actually feels human — new hires welcomed thoughtfully from day one, departing teammates supported through their last day
• Benefits and payroll — enrollments, leaves, retirement, and the inevitable paycheck questions — handled with accuracy, discretion, and follow-through
• Employee support — being the first, friendly stop for questions about policies, benefits, time off, or "I'm not sure who to ask about this"
• Records and HRIS data kept clean, current, confidential, and audit-ready
• Training and compliance coordination, including the certifications specific to home health and hospice
• Performance review cycles — documentation, tracking, and helping managers follow through
• HR reporting and metrics that give leadership a real picture of how our people are doing
• Culture initiatives — recognition, team events, and the small touches that make people feel seen

Who we're looking for

• Knows that thorough documentation and regulatory compliance are how we protect our staff and patients, not obstacles to the "real" work
• Has 1–3+ years of hands-on HR experience (healthcare or home health strongly preferred given the compliance demands of this role)
• Takes initiative — you don't wait for direction to spot what needs doing
• Holds confidentiality as a value, not just a rule
• Notices the details — wrong dates, missing signatures, expired credentials before they become problems
• Can switch gears comfortably between a nurse with a benefits question and a director who needs a comp analysis
• Is fluent in HRIS/payroll platforms, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Office (Paylocity, BambooHR, or similar a plus)
• Understands California labor law and home health regulatory requirements well enough to spot a red flag

What we offer

• $30–$35/hour, depending on experience
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match
• Company-paid life insurance
• Real room to grow — we promote from within when we can
• A team that takes the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously

A note on the on-site requirement

This role is fully in person at our San Francisco office. So much of meaningful HR work — the hallway check-ins, the new-hire welcomes, the closed-door conversations — happens better face-to-face. The role is built around being present with the team you support.
