Human Resources Assistant, Entry Level

Other Jobs To Apply

As a Human Resources Advisor at Bristol Hospice, you’re the calm in the middle of a busy, meaningful storm. You’re the first voice someone hears when they need help, clarity, or connection. With every inquiry you answer, every document you process, every new hire you onboard, every file you audit—you help ensure that our employees can stay focused on what matters most: providing extraordinary care to patients and families.

Some moments of your day will be predictable—processing onboarding steps, conducting background checks, or updating employee files.

Other moments? Not so much. You might be juggling questions from two different time zones, troubleshooting an employee profile, and double‑checking compliance documentation—all before lunch.

You don’t just follow processes.
You steward them.
You bring structure, accuracy, and compassion to an environment where thousands of employees depend on your expertise.

Bristol Hospice is a nationwide industry leader committed to providing a family-centered approach in the delivery of hospice services throughout our communities.
