**WHO WE ARE**

Hamilton Duncan is the Fraser Valley’s pre-eminent law firm, boasting a team of more than 35 talented lawyers and 70 excellent support staff. Located in Surrey - one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada - we provide high-end legal services to a wide variety of clients in an assortment of engaging and challenging matters across diverse areas of practice.

We pride ourselves on a commitment to our community and our collegial workplace. We want people who value a culture and management style that fosters collaboration and respect while rewarding individual responsibility, initiative and creativity and providing opportunities for further development.

**WHO WE NEED**

**WHY YOU’LL WANT TO WORK WITH US**

We ask a lot of our people, so we try to give a lot in return. In addition to a competitive salary, we think you’ll love these other benefits of working at Hamilton Duncan:

- **Health and wellness**: Take care of yourself and your family with our comprehensive benefits plan that includes extended medical, dental, vision, critical illness and life insurance coverages, as well as an employee assistance program for those trying times. Sick leave days ensure that you don’t choose between your health and your income.

**WHO YOU ARE**
- **Experience**: At least three years’ experience in a human resources role with comparable responsibilities. Experience in a professional services firm would be considered an asset.
- **Education**: A human resources diploma or degree from an accredited post-secondary institution. A CPHR designation is preferred but not required.
- **Characteristics**: This is a position of significant responsibility, so you should be self-motivated, highly organized, detail oriented and thrive on solving problems both independently and with the team. The role is demanding, meaning that you need to be calm under pressure and eager to take on challenges. You will be the point person for personnel issues, so you should embrace the opportunity to communicate with others and resolve conflicts. You will handle sensitive information regularly, so you should be able to maintain a high level of confidentiality.

- **Records**: Maintaining employee files; maintaining and updating the firm’s HRIS database regarding attendance, vacation, sick leave and personal day accruals.
- **Payroll**:Reviewing and approving payroll in conjunction with the Payroll Clerk.
- **Benefits Administration**: Ensuring that personnel are enrolled in and familiar with the firm’s group benefits program; assisting with benefits-related issues for employees; liaising with our group benefits carrier; oversight of the firm’s self-managed benefits or programs.
- **Employee Engagement and Satisfaction**: Receiving and addressing staff concerns; arranging service awards; coordinating staff gifts; spearheading the firm’s employee recognition programs; participating with the firm’s social committee in the coordination of social events; implementation of other initiatives geared at strengthening the culture and social fabric of the firm.
