An incumbent typically serves as the only HR representative at an assigned entity and, based on size and/or unique location needs, functions with relative autonomy in determining priorities/deadlines in the absence of site-based HR management.

Depending on assignment, duties also include providing administrative support of a confidential nature to include preparation of documents/reports, reception/phones, mail distribution, supply/inventory maintenance, equipment ordering/repair, and assistance with new hire orientation and recruitment efforts. Given the unique nature of the position, a calm demeanor, diplomacy and resourcefulness are required and an incumbent must be comfortable functioning independently and responding to unexpected circumstances. Key contacts and work assignments involve preserving the confidential nature of sensitive information and also require significant tact/diplomacy in maintaining positive internal/external relationships and responding appropriately to new/changing situations. Work requires knowledge of HR standards, procedures and multiple contracts/agreements sufficient to recognize/apply the most appropriate course of action from among several possible alternatives and to exercise sound judgment in providing guidance and interpreting/explaining complex HR practices/requirements to managers, employees and/or the general public. **Qualifications** + High School Diploma + 1 to 3 Years Of Experience (depending on degree) **Pay Range** $24.96 - $34.31 /hour We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
