As the fastest-growing home health agency in Northern California, 21HHS recently expanded into Marin and Sonoma counties, extending its reach while maintaining a reputation for excellence. Positive reviews across platforms such as Yelp, Google, Glassdoor, and Indeed reflect both the quality of care provided to patients and the outstanding experience of its employees, reinforcing its leadership in the home health industry.

We're looking for a Home Health Administrator who genuinely cares about doing things right: keeping our agency compliant, our patients safe, and our team supported. If you're someone who finds satisfaction in knowing the regulations cold, translating them into real-world practice, and building a culture of accountability, we'd love to meet you.

This is not a remote opportunity. The position requires you to be onsite at one of our local offices (Walnut Creek, San Jose, Burlingame, Sacramento)

The Opportunity

In this role, you'll serve as the dedicated HRBP for our corporate support team as well as clinicians across San Francisco, San Mateo, Marin, and Sonoma Counties. You'll provide direct support to HR leadership, drive employee relations strategy, deliver executive-level coaching, and lead proactive problem-solving initiatives-building the relationships and systems that keep our workforce productive, accountable, and aligned with 21HHS policies and best practices.

This is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced HR professional who thrives on partnering with senior leaders, getting ahead of complex issues, guiding supervisors through high-stakes people decisions, and fostering a culture where employees feel heard and supported.
