Our staff are the heart of that mission, and we take good care of the people who make our work possible.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced HR professional to support our team on a part-time, contracted basis. This is an independent contractor role—not an employed position—ideal for someone who wants meaningful, flexible work with a mission-driven organization.

Reporting directly to the Executive Director, you'll keep our HR practices accurate, compliant, and people-focused.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review the Employee Handbook and all HR policies annually, recommending updates to maintain compliance and alignment with current standards.

  • Manage employee onboarding, ensuring new hires complete required paperwork and start with a clear understanding of their role.

  • Handle termination processes professionally, accurately, and in line with agency policy.

  • Support employee relations, helping resolve workplace conflicts fairly and confidentially.

  • Coordinate annual performance reviews, managing the review process from start to finish and ensuring evaluations are completed consistently and on time across the agency.

  • Administer merit and performance-based pay decisions, supporting the Executive Director in determining bonus eligibility, calculating adjustments, and maintaining accurate compensation records.

  • Process payroll accurately and on time, coordinating with agency finance staff.

  • Administer employee benefits, including insurance and retirement enrollment, changes, and questions.

  • Partner with the Executive Director on personnel matters, reporting, and compliance needs.

Required Qualifications

  • Proven experience in human resources, payroll, and benefits administration.

  • Working knowledge of federal and state employment regulations and compliance standards.

  • Strong understanding of HR policy development and handbook review.

  • Excellent judgment and discretion when handling confidential and sensitive matters.

  • Clear written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • HR experience within a nonprofit or grant-funded organization.

  • HR certification (e.g., SHRM-CP, PHR) or equivalent professional background.

  • Familiarity with multi-site or community-based organizations.

  • Familiar with NC Labor Laws. 

What You'll Get

  • Flexible, part-time contracted hours that fit your schedule.

  • A direct working relationship with agency leadership.

  • The chance to apply your expertise to work that strengthens local communities.

  • Compensation: $20.00-$25.00 per hour, based on experience and scope of work. This is an independent contractor engagement.

POSITION SUMMARY
