Senior Human Resources Generalist
Temp-to-Hire | Onsite – Buena Park, California
Immediate Need
Pay Rate: $
Linden Oaks is seeking an experienced Senior Human Resources Generalist for an immediate temp-to-hire assignment. This position will provide hands-on HR operational support during a department transition and will work closely with the Vice President of Human Resources.
We are looking for an experienced HR professional who can independently own day-to-day HR processes, not a recruiting-focused Generalist or HR Coordinator. The ideal candidate will be comfortable stepping into an active HR environment, quickly learning existing processes, identifying gaps, and taking responsibility for recurring HR functions with limited day-to-day supervision.
California HR and hands-on payroll experience are critical.
What We Need This Person to Own
The Senior HR Generalist will serve as the primary operational HR resource and will be responsible for areas including:

Working Relationship & Environment
The position will work onsite at Linden Oaks in Buena Park and report to the Vice President of Human Resources, who works remotely and periodically onsite.
Because the VP of HR is remote, this individual must be self-directed and comfortable independently managing established HR processes, communicating issues clearly, and escalating matters requiring leadership decisions.
This position is not intended to serve as the senior HR decision-maker for the organization; however, the Generalist should have sufficient experience and judgment to keep routine HR operations moving without requiring constant direction.
Immediate Transition Priority
Our current HR Director's last day is September 14, 2026. We would strongly prefer to have the selected individual begin before that date to allow for direct knowledge transfer and training on existing processes.
Immediate transition priorities will include:
The strongest candidate will be someone who can walk into an HR department during a transition, review the existing processes and documentation, ask the right questions, and quickly become the reliable owner of HR operations.
We are looking for someone who is experienced, practical, organized, confident and hands-on.
This is intended as a temp-to-hire opportunity, and we are interested in candidates who would consider long-term employment with Linden Oaks if the assignment is a mutual fit.
Please prioritize speed without sacrificing experience. We would like to begin reviewing qualified candidates immediately.
