Human Resources Manager at LifeCare Connect Nigeria Limited

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: Human Resources Manager

Location:  Uyo, Akwa Ibom
Employment Type: Full-time (Permanent)
Department: Human Resources
Reports to: Business Development Team (Top Management)
Target start date: 4 January 2027

Job Description

• Own recruitment across Nigeria and, as the Group grows, across Africa — building the full personnel-lifecycle system that takes LifeCare Connect from a documented organization into a staffed, operating one.

Role Overview

• LifeCare Connect is opening its founding operations base in Uyo and building out the launch team that takes the Group from a documented, ISO 9001-aligned organization into a staffed, operating one.
• The HR Manager owns that build — running recruitment across Nigeria and, as the Group’s Africa footprint grows, across other African markets, while taking ownership of the full personnel-lifecycle system the Group has already put in place.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end recruitment for the Uyo launch team and all subsequent hiring across Nigeria and other African markets, from job design through offer and onboarding.
• Screen, interview and progress candidates against approved job descriptions, and build the interview and evaluation discipline the Group’s HR-SOP series requires.
• Own execution of the personnel-lifecycle SOP series: competence and training records, probation management, performance appraisal, and statutory/regulatory compliance tracking.
• Approve personnel-records access tiers and own the scheduling of the HR audit programme.
• Own HR nonconformity and corrective action handling, and provide HR’s input to the Group’s Company-Wide Management Review each cycle.
• Own exit and offboarding documentation control, coordinating system-access revocation with IT within the Group’s one-working-day standard.
• Design and maintain the Group’s job descriptions, org structure and staffing plans with the Business Development Team.
• Build out HR policy, employee-handbook and statutory-compliance documentation (pension, NHF, NSITF, PAYE) as offices come online.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration or a related field.
• CIPM membership, or actively pursuing certification.
• Minimum 5 years’ HR generalist or HR management experience, ideally including multi-country or Africa-wide recruitment.
• Demonstrated experience building HR systems and processes from the ground up.
• Strong working knowledge of Nigerian labor law and statutory compliance obligations.
• Experience within an ISO 9001 quality management system is an advantage.
• High discretion and integrity in handling confidential personnel information.

What we offer

• The opportunity to build the Group’s HR function and Africa recruitment capability from its foundations.
• A defined, ISO 9001-aligned operating environment rather than an undocumented start-up scramble.
• Direct visibility into, and influence over, how the Group’s five platforms grow and staff.
• A collaborative, founding-team culture based at the new Uyo office.
