Talent and Workforce Manager

If you read one paragraph, read this one.

Husky Senior Care/Longhouse helps older adults stay safely in household environments with caregivers who treat them like family (Husky in their own homes and Longhouse in our small facilities). Behind every well\-staffed shift is somebody who built the team, vetted the talent, and made sure the right caregiver showed up. We’re hiring that person. If you light up at the idea of building a caregiver workforce that runs ahead of demand — not behind it — keep reading.

The Role

As Talent \& Workforce Manager, you own the engine that makes everything else at Husky/Longhouse possible: the people who deliver care, and the systems that get them to the right shift. You’ll lead caregiver recruiting, onboarding, retention, and HR compliance. You’ll also supervise our staffing team — a Virtual Assistant and our overnight and weekend coordinators — making sure scheduling runs cleanly without it consuming your day. You report directly to the Owner.

This is not a maintenance job. It’s a builder’s job. We’re looking for someone who is willing to inherit what works, fix what doesn’t, and design what we don’t have yet.

What You’ll Own

* Caregiver pipeline. Sourcing, screening, hiring, and onboarding caregivers who meet our standard.

* Caregiver retention. Building the early\-tenure experience that keeps the right caregivers with us.

* HR \& compliance. Keeping our people files audit\-ready, our claims handled, and our practices aligned with Washington law.

* Staffing leadership. Supervising three coordinators who run day\-to\-day scheduling — holding them to fill rate, accuracy, and response\-time standards.

* Workforce insight. A weekly KPI dashboard that tells the Owner what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do about it.

What Success Looks Like in 12 Months

• Caregiver supply consistently runs ahead of demand.
• Fill rate at or above 98%, with missed shifts trending down.
• 90\-day caregiver retention measurably improved.
• Zero compliance findings on personnel files.
• Three direct reports who are demonstrably better at their jobs than the day you started.

Who You Are

• You’ve done HR, recruiting, or staffing leadership for at least three years — and you’ve managed people for at least one of those.
• You move fast without losing accuracy. You finish things.
• You’ve handled enough compliance and documentation to know it’s a discipline, not a chore.
• You’re a builder by temperament. When something’s broken, you don’t just report it — you fix it or design something better.
• You like people. You especially like the kind of people who show up to take care of someone else’s grandmother.
• Your written English is sharp. Your verbal English is warm.

Bonus Points (Not Required)

• Home care, home health, hospice, or assisted living experience.
• Working knowledge of WAC 246\-335 / 388\-78A.
• Experience supervising remote or overseas team members.
• Experience with Wellsky or a similar scheduling system.
• SHRM\-CP, SHRM\-SCP, PHR, or SPHR. (If you don’t have it, we’ll support you in earning one within your first 18 months.)

Compensation \& Schedule

• Salaried, full\-time, with a performance bonus tied to the results above.
• Monday–Friday in\-office at our Kirkland location.
• Shared on\-call rotation for true emergencies — we don’t expect any one person to be available 24/7 alone.
• Health benefits, 401(k), paid time off, and ongoing professional development support.

How to Apply

Send your resume and a short note (a few sentences is fine) telling us about a workforce or staffing problem you solved that you’re proud of. Tell us what was broken, what you did, and what changed. That’s the work.
