Human Resources Director

Dillon, Montana
$100K–$140K Depending on Experience | Full Time | On-site | Interim Opportunity with Potential Long-Term Placement

This opportunity is being supported by Rural Staffing Services in partnership with Barrett Hospital & Health Care.

We believe rural healthcare hiring should be transparent, thoughtful, and built on real connection.

That means:

You see the hospital, role, and community up front
You have a real conversation with us, not just submit a resume
Your experience and leadership story are shared directly with decision makers

Rural Staffing Services serves as the first step in this process.

This is a relationship-first hiring experience where your story matters, not just your resume.

This is how hiring should feel in rural healthcare.

This is an opportunity to help shape the culture, stability, and future of a nationally recognized rural hospital.

We are supporting Barrett Hospital & Health Care in seeking a Human Resources Director to lead people strategy, workforce development, and organizational culture across the hospital.

This role is unique in that it can begin as an interim engagement with the opportunity to transition into a long-term leadership position.

This opportunity is ideal for a leader who:

• is ready to make an immediate impact
• values flexibility and the ability to explore long-term fit
• understands that in rural healthcare, people are everything
• wants to help build strong teams and healthy workplace culture
• believes leadership should still feel human

The right leader will bring both strategic vision and a hands-on approach to supporting teams, guiding leadership, and strengthening organizational culture.

In a setting like this, your leadership is visible, your voice matters, and your impact reaches across the entire organization.

Before applying, we encourage you (and your family, if applicable) to explore the hospital, community, and surrounding area and truly imagine what life could look like here.

• Blue ribbon fly fishing just minutes from town
• Snow-covered mountain views that somehow never get old
• Coffee shops where people still sit and actually talk to each other
• Backroads, hiking trails, camping trips, and wide-open Montana skies
• Peaceful mornings without major city traffic or nonstop noise
• A community where people still wave from passing trucks
• Friday night lights, local rodeos, and town events that bring people together
• At least one local who believes they alone know the best fishing hole on the Beaverhead River
• A Patagonia outlet in town because apparently Dillon is just cool like that

Dillon sits in Southwest Montana near some of the best outdoor recreation in the country and offers the kind of slower, grounded lifestyle many healthcare leaders quietly hope to find someday.

This is the kind of place where people stay because life outside of work feels good too.

And honestly? Rural communities like this need strong healthcare leaders willing to show up, care deeply, and help rural healthcare continue to thrive.

Rural Staffing Services works directly with healthcare leadership teams to help ensure thoughtful alignment between candidates, communities, and long-term fit.

We want to understand your story, leadership style, goals, and what matters most to you before formally introducing candidates to the organization.
