About the Role
We are hiring a strategic, people-first HR Leader to spearhead the human resources function at one of India’s most respected multi-specialty hospitals. As the Head of Human Resources, you will be responsible for aligning workforce strategy with clinical excellence, fostering a culture of empathy and performance, and managing a dynamic talent pool across clinical and non-clinical functions.
This role is ideal for an experienced HR professional who thrives in complex, high-stakes healthcare environments and understands the critical intersection between patient care, compliance, and workforce engagement. If you've previously led HR in a top-tier hospital or healthcare institution, and are passionate about building a future-ready healthcare workforce, this is your platform to lead at scale.

Key Responsibilities
HR Strategy & Leadership:
Lead the end-to-end HR function for the hospital unit, including organizational design, talent acquisition, engagement, learning, and policy development.
Workforce Planning:
Collaborate with clinical and operational heads to assess manpower needs, drive headcount planning, and lead structured succession planning for key roles, including critical departments like nursing, paramedics, and cardiology.
Compliance & Risk Mitigation:
Ensure compliance with healthcare-specific labor laws, medico-legal guidelines, statutory obligations, and accreditation standards such as NABH and JCI.
Talent Acquisition & Onboarding:
Oversee recruitment for clinical, paramedical, and administrative teams. Develop sourcing strategies for niche medical talent, and drive fast-track onboarding aligned with hospital SOPs.
Performance & Culture Management:
Design frameworks to measure, recognize, and improve staff performance. Foster a workplace culture grounded in accountability, patient empathy, and operational excellence.
Employee Relations & Engagement:
Implement proactive communication and grievance resolution systems. Build trust-driven engagement programs for diverse teams including doctors, nurses, support staff, and administrators.
Compensation & Benefits:
Develop equitable and competitive compensation strategies tailored to the hospital sector. Ensure periodic benchmarking and internal parity across levels and roles.
Learning & Development:
Lead capability development initiatives, CME programs, leadership workshops, and continuous service improvement for frontline and managerial teams.
Change Management & Transformation:
Drive transformation projects such as HR digitalization, process automation, and integration of tech-enabled employee lifecycle tools.

What We're Looking For
Educational Background:
MBA in HR, MHRM, MSW or equivalent postgraduate degree from a reputed institution.
Experience:
10–22 years of experience in human resource leadership, preferably with at least 5 years in a senior HR role within a tertiary or super-specialty hospital.
Domain Expertise:
Strong command over hospital-specific HR practices including shift planning, critical care staffing, credentialing, clinical onboarding, and labor law audits.
Leadership Qualities:
Strategic thinker with a people-first approach and the ability to influence senior leadership and clinical heads. Proven track record of managing diverse and multidisciplinary teams.
Preferred Exposure:
Hands-on experience with HR operations in NABH/JCI accredited institutions. Familiarity with the unique dynamics of departments such as ICU, OT, Cardiology, and Emergency Medicine is highly preferred.
