Human Resources Business Partner
Senior Star | You Belong Here
At Senior Star, we believe our greatest strength is our people. We're not just filling a role-we're looking for someone who is passionate about creating an exceptional associate experience and helping our teams deliver on our promise of Legendary Hospitality, Teamwork, and Leadership every day.
If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, leads with empathy, and loves being the go-to resource for people, this could be your next step.
What You'll Do (Your Impact)
As our Human Resources Business Partner for Elmore Place, you'll be the heartbeat of the associate experience at the community level-supporting leaders, empowering teams, and ensuring every associate feels seen, supported, and set up for success.
You will:
  • Be the trusted partner
    Serve as the first point of contact for associates and leaders, offering guidance on HR policies, benefits, and workplace questions.
  • Champion a positive culture
    Help foster an inclusive, engaging environment where associates feel valued and connected to Senior Star's mission.
  • Support hiring and onboarding excellence
    Coordinate interviews, prepare offer letters, ensure pre-employment requirements are completed, and create a smooth Day One experience.
  • Drive consistency and compliance
    Maintain accurate records, support audits, and ensure all HR processes align with company standards and legal requirements.
  • Be a steady voice in employee relations
    Provide fair, thoughtful guidance on workplace concerns while maintaining confidentiality and professionalism.
  • Own the details that matter
    Manage HR systems (Dayforce, Relias), track training completion, and ensure every associate file is complete and audit-ready.
  • Enhance the associate journey
    Support engagement initiatives, surveys, recognition programs, and culture-building efforts across the community.

What You Bring
We're looking for someone who blends professionalism with heart:
  • 3+ years of HR experience, with a strong focus on employee relations
  • Strong organizational and communication skills - there is a strong administrative component to this role.
  • Ability to handle sensitive situations with discretion and sound judgment
  • A natural ability to build relationships and navigate conversations with confidence
  • Experience with HR systems (Dayforce or similar a plus)
  • Bachelor's degree or HR certification (preferred, not required)

Why Join Senior Star?
Because here, You Belong.
  • You'll play a key role in shaping the associate experience
  • You'll work alongside leaders who value people first
  • You'll be part of a culture that celebrates teamwork, growth, and purpose
  • You'll make a meaningful impact every day-on associates and residents alike

If you're ready to bring your HR expertise to a team that values both results and relationships, we'd love to meet you.
