About Childswork Learning Center
Childswork Learning Center is a fully funded Preschool for All provider serving 3- and 4-year-olds across three campuses in Portland, Oregon: Cherry Blossom, Tabor, and Hosford. As a Preschool for All partner, Childswork is part of Multnomah County's commitment to providing free, culturally responsive, and inclusive early learning to every family who wants it. With a growing team of faculty and administrative staff, Childswork is at an exciting and consequential moment in its development.
Our people make this work possible. When our staff feel supported, heard, and valued, that energy flows directly into the classrooms and into the lives of the children and families we serve. We are building the internal infrastructure to match our ambitions, and the Director of People, Culture and Equity is central to that work.
About You
You lead with empathy and believe every employee deserves to feel valued and heard, and you understand that this shows up in the details, including the accuracy of a paycheck and the clarity of a benefits explanation. You are a skilled listener who follows through, and people trust you because you do what you say you will. You bring warmth, discreetness, and professionalism to every interaction, whether navigating a sensitive conversation or walking someone through an open enrollment decision. You understand that working in an early childhood environment calls for patience, care, and the ability to hold professional boundaries with genuine intention. You are organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple priorities across multiple sites without losing sight of the people behind the paperwork.
You are also approachable and decisive. You know when to be clear, direct, and firm. You are an experienced investigator and employee relations practitioner who can manage a formal grievance process with fairness, consistency, and legal awareness. You are a builder, energized by the opportunity to create systems and infrastructure, not just maintain them. You are a strong coach and thought partner for managers, helping them grow their supervisory skills with practical, grounded guidance. And you are genuinely committed to equity and inclusion, bringing that lens to every aspect of your HR practice, not just the initiatives labeled DEI.
