About Chai Lifeline Canada

For over 18 years, Chai Lifeline Canada has provided services and programs to children and families living with chronic or life-threatening pediatric illness. At Chai Lifeline Canada, you'll be part of a team dedicated to living our core values — leading with integrity and mutual respect for one another. We bring care beyond our roles, with empathy, dedication, and humility.

The Opportunity

Chai Lifeline Canada is looking for a dedicated and dynamic Human Resources Manager to help our organization run smoothly while fostering a positive, supportive workplace. This is not a back-office administrative role — it's an opportunity for a genuine people leader to shape the culture, growth, and wellbeing of a mission-driven team.

The Human Resources Manager will oversee HR functions across the organization, working closely with leadership and staff to maintain a culture aligned with Chai Lifeline Canada's core values, ensure compliance with HR policy, and support employee growth and wellbeing. We're looking for someone who brings real leadership presence to the role: solid, positive, and people-first, with the strategic instincts to help guide the organization forward.

Who We're Looking For

Beyond HR expertise, the right candidate is leader material. We're seeking a solid, positive, people-first professional who will have a lasting, positive impact on our organization. Specifically, you are:

• A natural leader — you inspire trust and confidence among staff and leadership alike, and step up to guide others with confidence and calm.
• Flexible and adaptable — equally comfortable setting strategy and rolling up your sleeves for hands-on, day-to-day HR work in a fast-moving environment.
• A true people person — approachable, empathetic, and an excellent listener who builds authentic, trust-based relationships across every level of the organization.
• A strategic thinker — able to see the big picture, anticipate organizational needs, and align HR initiatives with Chai Lifeline Canada's mission and goals.
• Positive and solutions-oriented — you bring energy, optimism, and resilience to the workplace, and turn challenges into opportunities.
• Values-driven — you lead with integrity, humility, and genuine care, modeling Chai Lifeline Canada's core values in everything you do.
• A relationship builder — someone whose presence strengthens morale, culture, and connection across the entire team.

What You'll Do

Leadership & Strategy

• Work with the leadership team to ensure consistent, fair performance management practices.
• Build strategies for employee growth and organizational development.
• Manage project timelines and deliverables.

Recruitment & People

• Collaborate with department directors on recruitment — job postings, candidate interviews, and selection.
• Serve as a trusted resource for staff on HR matters, including policies, benefits, and conflict resolution.
• Organize staff engagement initiatives, team-building activities, and recognition programs that build morale and retention.
• Oversee employee development plans and training programs that promote skill-building and career growth.
• Support managers in conducting performance reviews and addressing performance-related issues.

Compliance & Administration

• Communicate staff needs, policy updates, and organizational changes as required.
• Ensure compliance with federal and provincial labour laws, workplace health and safety regulations, and other applicable standards.
• Oversee the implementation of HR policies and procedures, including payroll, onboarding and offboarding.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date employee records.
• Assist in creating and maintaining job descriptions for all roles within the organization.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field.
• CHRP or CHRL designation considered an asset.
• Five (5) years' experience in an HR Manager role.
• Strong understanding of Canadian employment law and HR best practices.
• Proven ability to lead, influence, and build relationships at every level of an organization.
• Ability to identify, prioritize, and manage competing needs while maintaining confidentiality.
• Excellent leadership, organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, SharePoint, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Salary: $85k-$100k annualized salary, which will be prorated to reflect the part-time work schedule.
