Regional Director of Human Resources

At the core of our organization is a commitment to integrity, accountability, operational excellence, and people-first leadership. As we continue to grow across the Northeast, we are seeking an experienced and high-impact Regional Director of Human Resources to support and elevate HR operations across multiple skilled nursing and long-term care facilities throughout Massachusetts.

This is not an entry-level HR role. We are seeking a strategic operator who understands the pace, complexity, and regulatory environment of post-acute healthcare — someone who can lead from the front, build strong facility partnerships, and drive consistency across recruitment, retention, employee relations, compliance, and culture.

The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced multi-site healthcare environments and understands how strong HR leadership directly impacts staffing stability, employee engagement, regulatory success, and overall operational performance.
