Company Description

SMP Health – St. Catherine, inspired by the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation, serves those in our care with respect and compassion as we strive to fulfill the healing mission of Jesus. Our non-profit, Catholic faith based organization features two skilled nursing facilities in the Fargo/Moorhead area. Our St. Catherine 'North' campus (Rosewood on Broadway) and our St. Catherine 'South' campus (Villa Maria) both provide long term care, skilled nursing, and rehab services. Both campuses are VA, Medicare, and Medicaid contract facilities.

Role Description

HR Business Partner

Location: Fargo, ND

Schedule: Full-time, Monday through Friday, on-site across both the North and South campuses

Reports to: CEO

Member of: Organizational Leadership Team

About the Role

We are seeking an HR Business Partner to join our team and step into a key HR role as our long-serving HR Director prepares for retirement. The retiring Director will remain full time until the new hire begins and will then shift to part-time support to provide hands-on training and ensure a smooth transition.

This position’s primary focus is recruitment and keeping a strong, steady hiring pipeline in place for both campuses. Because Payroll and Benefits Coordinators handle FMLA, routine HR compliance, benefits administration, onboarding paperwork, and open enrollment, the HR Business Partner can remain focused on attracting and retaining staff, strengthening the candidate and new hire experience, and supporting managers with daily HR needs.

As the HR Business Partner becomes familiar with our staff, systems, and operations, the role will also take on broader HR responsibilities including employee relations support, leadership coaching, and contributing to organizational and workforce planning. This position reports directly to the CEO and serves on the Leadership Team, playing an important role in shaping the employee experience across our organization.

This is a meaningful opportunity for someone who enjoys relationship-building, problem-solving, and helping leaders build strong teams across two skilled nursing campuses with approximately 400 employees.
