Responsibilities

This role requires very short notice adjustments to the working week and the primary duty is to cover key workers’ (Milieu Counselors) leave, vacation, and sickness, by taking on their role accountabilities.
Good communication is essential to the role and on-call employees must respond to work requests as outlined in this document.
On-Call MC’s are expected to work 30 hours per month. If there is a temporary situation that arises that might not allow you to work the 30 hours, you are required to communicate that situation to your supervisor and it must be documented and approved [i.e. you have a vacation planned and will not be available for the month of April, or a school project/FINAL exams in May and will only be available to work 1 shift]
As an on-call MC, you must ensure you are available to be contacted. On-call MC’s must return calls within 1 hour of receiving a call/text/email or voicemail (on days that you have confirmed availability). That does not mean you must be available to come in for a shift within 30 minutes, but it does mean that you must respond to the supervisor reaching out.
On-call MC’s are required to be accessible if it is necessary for you to be called in for a shift. If, during the on-call period, unforeseen circumstances arise whereby you cannot be reached or are no longer able to respond, you must notify your supervisor immediately. In that case, you would be removed from on-call availability status for the remainder of that day.
On-Call MC’s must complete trainings each year, including the SAGE, State Licensing, Joint Commission and Morrison required trainings.
CPR certification must be kept active (there are options for completing CPR on weekends or weekdays, depending on your schedule)
CPR & Mandt are in-person trainings, medication shadowing must be completed in person, most other trainings can be completed virtually
As an On-Call MC you may change your availability by contacting your supervisor. This communication is expected to occur at least two weeks prior to a scheduled shift.
