What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness.

Today, we are an alliance of hundreds of local affiliates, state organizations and a national office who work in communities across the United States to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need. NAMI advocates for all who are affected by mental illness, both the individuals and the people in their lives. In particular, we work to address disparities and injustices and to promote dignity and inclusion for all people with mental illness and their families. In addition to being advocates, we educate, we listen, and we lead as evidenced by our public awareness campaigns, the range of numerous programs we provide, and our strong public policy.

We currently have an opening for a Human Resources Generalist. The HR Generalist will provide confidential administrative support to the CHRO and the Human Resources Department and support various organization-wide projects as assigned. The ideal candidate will be detail oriented and have excellent communication skills, the ability to manage multiple tasks, the initiative to improve processes, and the flexibility to adapt when opportunities arise and/or priorities shift.

This full-time position will work a hybrid-based schedule, on average 2 days a week in-person at our office in Arlington, VA and 3 days a week remotely from home.
