Apartment in Exchange for Work!
In exchange for an apartment with all utilities paid and a $25 stipend for cable television, a couple or an individual will perform various evening, weekend and some holiday duties in a residential senior apartment complex on a beautiful campus in West Bloomfield.
You will be "on-duty" for one week in the evenings and on the weekend and you will be relieved of your responsibilities for the following week. Thus, you are only on-call 26 weeks a year, plus some holidays.
Duties include, but are not limited to: Calling public safety personnel for emergency situations; going on regular rounds to ensure the building is secure; completing daily logs and reports; performing minor maintenance tasks such as unclogging toilets and delivering space heaters; answering the phone and dealing respectfully and appropriately with a senior population; responding to and investigating fire alarms and emergency pull cords, sometimes in the middle of the night.
The position is ideal for two people but we would accept a qualified single applicant. Well-qualified applicants will be tactful under pressure, compassionate and level-headed. You should be able to deal with an extremely stressful situation that may occur without warning, for instance, a false fire alarm at 3 AM. You will also be calling family members of residents at extreme hours, and must be able to communicate effectively, directly, clearly and sympathetically.
No medical training whatsoever is required for this position-this is not a medically-oriented facility. You will be required, at company expense, to receive AED training.
Some occasional pay is available.
