Human Resources Specialist

$27.08 - 36.30 per hour (DOQ)

This is a non-exempt, unrepresented, full-time position.

The Sacramento Public Library is looking for a Human Resources Specialist to join our Human Resources Department. If you are a person of integrity, collaborative in nature, customer service oriented, analytical and tech savvy, have experience working with a variety of HR systems and enjoy a fast paced and challenging work environment this may be the perfect fit.

First Review of Applicants:  Thursday, September 30, 2020

THE POSITION

The Director is a regular full-time, administrative, exempt and at-will position. Under general administrative direction, plans, directs, and manages the activities, staffing, resources and operations of the City’s Human Resources Department; acts as a member of the City Manager’s management team; and provides highly-responsible and complex administrative support to the City Manager.

The ideal candidate is a strong relationship-builder with a hands-on mindset; approachable, responsive and influential.  Currently the City is in a temporary hiring freeze due to the pandemic and the Director is also required to fulfill numerous analyst responsibilities in the interim.  The City provides exposure to most facets of HR opportunities and challenges for the Director and seeks a team-player who lives an open-door policy, defend positions of positive change and is not afraid to deliver critical feedback. 

This is an excellent opportunity for a new or seasoned leader to realize their desired potential and advance progressive initiatives.  Each department head has their own contract with the City, including HR Director.

THE DEPARTMENT

The Human Resources Department operates with three full-time staff members (including the Director, an HR Analyst and HR Technician) with an annual budget of approximately $700K.  There is an active contract in place with Stan State’s MPA graduate program for interns to assist with research and special projects as well as provide exposure to the public sector in developing future HR leaders.  HR in Ceres is full-service including all of Risk Management. The Department may work an alternate work schedule providing for maximum work/life balance to offset the current demand of the positions.  The Department recently implemented a robust citywide, paperless and continuous performance evaluation system.

Education and Experience Guidelines - Any combination of education and experience that would likely provide the required knowledge and abilities is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the knowledge and abilities would be:

Education/Training:

A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university with major course work in human resources management, business administration, public administration, or related field.
