The Coordinator will be asked by staff if they are able to cover staffing shifts from time to time. For this reason, the Coordinator should be trained in my daily and community activities such as but not limited to: Housekeeping and cleaning, meal prep. and cooking, personal care, grocery shopping, providing transportation and all transfers in and out of the wheelchair. The rule we follow is that if any staff member agrees to a shift, it is their responsibility to get it covered if they can no longer cover the shift.
The Coordinator will be expected to give a month’s notice if they plan to leave the position, as they are expected to help find and train the person who will be taking their position.
As a Coordinator, part of your job is to work together as a team and help each other out. Remember to be respectful whether communicating in person, over the phone, and/or texting.
