Bartram's Garden seeks to hire a HR Director to support our work to position this 50-acre Southwest Philadelphia asset as a dynamic civic commons and river garden.
Bartram’s Garden has undergone tremendous growth in recent years and currently employs 32 year-round staff, 16 seasonal staff, and up to 50 youth interns throughout the year. In 2020 the Board of Directors adopted new vision and mission statements following a 7-month process led by a collaborative committee of board and staff. Since 2021, staff and board have engaged an in a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) assessment and workshop series and our staff DEI working group is currently reviewing a draft organizational Equity Action Plan. Building on the momentum and lessons from these experiences, and with the goal ensuring that we express our values internally as well as externally, Bartram’s Garden is creating the new position of HR Director.
The HR Director will be charged with advocating for employees by ensuring that HR policies and procedures are in place and designed to foster an equitable and welcoming environment for all staff—especially for those of historically marginalized identities. This position will report to the Executive Director (ED) and will be a member of the Senior Staff Team.
