Human Resources Specialist

At Curana Health, our mission is to radically improve the health, happiness, and dignity of seniors nationwide. As a national leader in value-based care, we partner with senior living and skilled nursing communities to enhance outcomes, streamline operations, and create new financial opportunities. Our 1,000+ clinicians serve over 1,500 communities across 33 states, driving rapid growth and setting new standards for high-risk, underserved populations.

To further this incredible mission, we’re reimagining what it means to be a People team—moving beyond traditional HR to become an engine of innovation and impact. Our mandate is clear: we are a product team with an internal customer – we must design intentional, scalable provider experiences and build agile systems that keep pace with and fuel the rapid growth of the organization. 

Imagine being part of a lean, dynamic HR team where your ideas and initiatives directly contribute to meaningful improvements in healthcare, surrounded by a tight-knit crew who genuinely care about each other and are obsessed with caring for one of our most vulnerable populations.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and want your work to matter every single day, you’ll fit right in as an HR Specialist in our People Function. We value hands-on execution, customer-first mindset, strong team collaboration, and systems thinking and process improvement.
