About the role
About the Client
Our client is a management support company serving skilled nursing and senior living facilities across the US. They help these facilities operate more efficiently while maintaining high standards of compassionate patient care. With a focus on operational excellence and clinical quality, they support facility teams so those teams can focus on what matters most: their residents.
Why does this role exist?
Accurate, on-time payroll isn't just an operational task in healthcare settings — it's a matter of trust, compliance, and staff retention in an industry where getting it wrong has real consequences. This role exists because our client needs a highly accurate and discreet payroll specialist who can own the full US payroll and HR support process in Paylocity, with minimal oversight. They're looking for someone who treats payroll data with the same care and confidentiality the facilities they support treat their patients — someone who can be trusted to run payroll independently while keeping every detail airtight.

You should apply if...
You're the type of person who finds satisfaction in getting the details exactly right — not because someone's checking your work, but because you take pride in it.
You understand that payroll touches people's livelihoods, so you treat every number and every piece of employee information with real care and confidentiality.
You're comfortable taking ownership of a process end-to-end, flagging issues before they escalate, and communicating professionally even when the conversation is sensitive.
You don't need hand-holding once you know what "done well" looks like — you just need clear expectations and the trust to run with them.
