HR Manager

Human Resources Manager

Bethesda Health Clinic & Hangers of Hope | Tyler, Texas

Lead the people who carry out a ministry

Since 2003, Bethesda Health Clinic has served hard-working East Texas families who can't afford healthcare. Some have no insurance. Others have deductibles that are out of reach for their income.

Bethesda has served more than 20,000 patients and completed more than 265,000 visits. Its care includes primary and specialty medical, pediatrics, dental, and mental health counseling, offered at clinics in Tyler and Lindale.

Bethesda is a 501(c)(3) that accepts no state or federal grants. Donors make the work possible, and so does Hangers of Hope, our thrift-store ministry founded in 2013. Its three Tyler stores turn donated goods into funding for patient care and keep usable items out of landfills.

The work depends on people. Doctors, nurses, front-desk staff, store teams, and volunteers make a ministry run every day. We're looking for a Human Resources Manager to care for those people and help them flourish.

Our mission

To be a Christ-centered ministry that provides affordable, high-quality healthcare for hard-working, underserved East Texas families.

About the role

The HR Manager is a key member of the leadership team. You'll shape a healthy, Christ-centered workplace for clinical, administrative, and retail staff across multiple sites and both entities.

You'll be a trusted advisor to executive leadership and lead the People & Culture team. Together you'll build HR strategies, policies, and programs that help staff feel supported, valued, and equipped for the mission. You'll set the long-range plan, and you'll also see objectives through to completion.

We want a leader who models servant leadership, professionalism, and integrity. You should handle sensitive personnel matters with strict confidentiality and sound judgment.

Why you'll love working here

• Your work has eternal purpose. Every hire, policy, and coaching conversation helps a neighbor get care they couldn't otherwise afford.
• Christ is at the center. Prayer and discipleship are part of daily life here, not an afterthought.
• Our values shape how we treat each other. We recognize each other's gifts, hold one another accountable, step up for teammates with a “What else can I do?” attitude, and enjoy working together.
• You'll help build what's next. Through the Greater Works Campaign, Bethesda is building a new facility to expand care. Growth like this needs a strong people strategy.
• You'll lead a varied organization. You'll support a healthcare ministry and a retail ministry across several East Texas locations, a scope few HR roles offer.
