We currently operate in Colorado, Montana, and New Mexico, with plans to expand into Illinois, Michigan, and Massachusetts in 2026.

Our organization supports approximately 350 caregivers and 25 internal team members, all working together to deliver high-quality, person-centered care across multiple states.

Position Overview

This is a dedicated HR role focused on supporting our internal team and caregiver workforce in a fast-growing, multi-state home care environment.

You will handle full-spectrum HR functions from recruitment and onboarding to benefits, employee relations, policy development, and workforce support — while helping build scalable people processes that drive retention, satisfaction, and talent attraction in the competitive caregiver market.

Preferred Experience

· Experience with AxisCare or similar home care EMR / EVV platforms.

· Familiarity with consumer-directed or self-directed Medicaid programs, fiscal intermediary requirements, and caregiver compliance elements (such as background checks, training documentation, supervisory visit records, caregiver qualifications, and EVV systems).

· Prior work in home care, healthcare services, Medicaid-funded programs, or other regulated healthcare environments (e.g., behavioral health, hospice, home health, or long-term care).

· Understanding of multi-state HR considerations and/or exposure to state audits, licensing, or Medicaid program rules in caregiving contexts.

Qualifications

· 2–6 years of HR experience (healthcare, home care, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered).

· Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a growing multi-state organization.

· Proficiency with Microsoft Office and comfort learning new systems quickly (HRIS, payroll, or industry-specific platforms).

· Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Healthcare Administration, or related field preferred (equivalent experience considered).
