Job Description

The Vermont Department of Human Resources seeks an HR generalist to join a vibrant team supporting the Agency of Transportation, the Agency of Education, and the Department of Labor. The ideal candidate will work effectively with all levels of employees and management, organize, and prioritize work effectively and adapt to changing demands in a fast-paced environment. Duties will include varying degrees of work in hiring and onboarding, position management, records management, medical leave and accommodation requests, performance management, supervisory coaching, and labor relations. Well-developed interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills are required and familiarity with working in a union environment a plus.

 
Excellent organizational skills are necessary to coordinate and process a large volume of work. The successful candidates must also demonstrate their ability to evaluate, interpret, and provide guidance on human resources-related policy or procedure. Ability to work independently, deliver accurate and timely work, and have an aptitude and interest to learn are all key to success in this position.

The Department is currently supporting a hybrid telework environment. Requests to telework up to two days per week will be considered, and in person work will be required.

Duties are performed largely in a standard office setting, but some travel may be required for which private means of transportation should be available. Some work outside of regular work schedule may be required. Strong differences of opinion may be encountered in dealing with employee grievances, union representatives, or members of management.
