HR Generalist

Description

Our residents count on our employees, and our employees count on HR — we’re looking for someone who takes that responsibility to heart. If you thrive in a role where every day is full, purposeful, and people-centered, this might be your next great fit.

We’re a small, high-trust HR team supporting 500 employees who care for 700 residents across 10 senior living communities throughout the State of Maine. Our mission is simple and powerful: to make each day the best day possible for the residents we serve, while bringing peace of mind to the people who love them. This role plays a direct part in supporting the people who bring that mission to life.

We’re looking for an HR Generalist who brings energy, ownership, and genuine care to their work — someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, notices the details others miss, and takes full responsibility for the work they lead while still being ready to support the team when needed.

What You’ll Own

• Candidate sourcing, outreach, and communication — reviewing applications, connecting with candidates, gathering needed information, and ensuring they feel supported throughout the hiring process
• Application flow management — sending completed applications to hiring leaders through the ATS and keeping the process moving
• Hiring process support — partnering with leaders during interview selection, scheduling, and communication
• Wage offer coordination — reviewing wage bands, developing pay rate recommendations, and responding to wage offer requests
• Offer extension & pre-boarding — extending offers, sending required documents, and following up to ensure timely completion
• Onboarding coordination — preparing new hire files, tracking completion of onboarding tasks, and ensuring a smooth transition into orientation
• Bi-weekly orientation facilitation — co-leading new hire orientation to create a welcoming, mission-aligned experience
• Employee relations & HR operations — supporting employees and leaders while maintaining accurate records, and assisting with day-to-day HR needs
• Leave administration — managing leave requests with accuracy, compliance, and compassionate communication
• You’ll partner closely with another HR Generalist who leads reporting and analytics — together, you’ll keep our HR engine running strong.
