Human Resources Generalist

About the Role

People are at the heart of everything we do at MJ Care, and our HR Generalist plays an important role in helping them thrive.

We’re looking for a people-focused, solutions-oriented HR professional who enjoys wearing multiple hats, building trusted relationships, and making HR work better for everyone. From attracting talented professionals to supporting leaders and strengthening our workplace culture, you’ll help create a positive, consistent employee experience from hire to retirement.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact across a diverse workforce while bringing fresh ideas to our HR practices, processes, and programs.

What You’ll Do

• Attract great people. Partner with leaders to recruit, hire, and retain talented professionals, including specialized therapy and education providers. Develop creative approaches to reach candidates in competitive talent markets.
• Be a trusted resource. Support employees and managers with workplace questions, employee relations, performance management, and day-to-day HR guidance.
• Make the employee experience better. Help employees get off to a great start, navigate important career milestones, and feel supported and connected throughout their time at MJ Care.
• Keep HR running smoothly. Coordinate benefits, leave administration, employee records, HR systems, policies, and employment practices while maintaining compliance with applicable employment laws.
• Build stronger leaders and teams. Coach managers, support employee development, and help foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and respect.
• Turn ideas into improvements. Use employee feedback, workforce data, and practical problem-solving to streamline processes, strengthen retention, and make informed recommendations to leadership.

What Makes This Role Unique

This is more than a paperwork-and-policies HR position. You’ll have the opportunity to influence both the employee experience and the way HR operates at MJ Care.

You’ll work closely with organizational leadership, support a workforce that includes specialized clinical and educational professionals, and help balance the people side of the business with its operational needs.

If you enjoy variety, building relationships, solving problems, and making things better rather than simply maintaining the status quo, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make your mark.

What You’ll Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 3+ years of progressive HR experience, with exposure to several core HR functions such as recruitment, employee relations, benefits, performance management, and compliance.
• Working knowledge of federal and Wisconsin employment laws and HR best practices.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, sound judgment, and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion.
• An organized, proactive approach and the ability to balance competing priorities while following through on commitments.
• Comfort using HR systems, Microsoft Office, and technology to manage information and improve processes.
• A collaborative, service-oriented mindset and a willingness to tackle both everyday HR needs and bigger-picture improvements.

Bonus points for: HR certification (SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR), experience supporting healthcare or education professionals, specialized recruiting experience, and a knack for HR analytics or process improvement.

How You’ll Make an Impact

You’ll know you’re making a difference when we’re attracting and retaining great people, helping employees and leaders navigate challenges effectively, creating smoother HR processes, and building a workplace where people feel supported and equipped to do their best work.
