Providence House is hiring a Human Resources & Compliance Manager to oversee all internal HR operations and workforce-related compliance for our residential substance use disorder treatment program in Arnegard, North Dakota.

This is a fully in-house, onsite role. We are intentionally moving away from third-party HR support and are looking for someone who will own the HR and compliance function, be present in the operation, and work closely with leadership and staff in a regulated treatment environment.

• Work directly with payroll and benefits vendors to ensure accuracy and compliance
• Oversee timekeeping, reporting, audits, and internal reviews

Leadership Support

• Advise executive leadership and supervisors on HR and compliance matters
• Provide guidance on performance management and disciplinary decisions
• Serve as a consistent authority on policy interpretation and enforcement

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field
• 3–5 years of hands-on HR experience
• Strong understanding of employment law and HR compliance
• Experience handling sensitive employee matters independently
• High level of discretion, professionalism, and follow-through
• Ability to work onsite in Arnegard, ND

Preferred Experience

What We’re Looking For

This role requires someone who:

• Is dependable and self-directed
• Is comfortable enforcing policy and holding boundaries
• Documents thoroughly and understands why it matters
• Can make decisions and stand behind them
