SalaryCommunity-Oriented Drivers Wanted! Are you a driver looking for something different? Would you like a more consistent schedule? Would you like to work in an organization where you’re valued for your contribution? Do you have a call to serve the senior community in our region? Read on, PACE North might be just the opportunity for you!
What is PACE North? PACE stands for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly. We are new and unique option for individuals 55 and older who qualify for nursing facility level of care and wish to remain in their homes as they age. What does that mean? We care for the elderly at our day center on Garfield near Hammond during regular business hours and as needed in their home. If you’ve never heard of us before, that’s okay since we’re new to the region. PACE North began serving the 7 county region’s elderly in 2019 and our service model is so popular it’s growing quickly!
Do we have benefits? Yes! Our full-time team members enjoy; regular daytime work schedules, additional pay incentives for work after 5:00p during the week and on weekends, sign-on bonus, plentiful PTO and paid holidays, great insurance benefits with health insurance available immediately upon hire, 401k matching, regular wage reviews, and a development system designed to help you move forward. We also have a great team of professionals who are a joy to work with!
What does a driver at PACE North do? Our drivers are PACE North’s purpose-driven community ambassadors! You perform one of PACE North’s greatest community services, daily participant transportation. You’ll drive one of our buses or vans to pick up and drop off our participants each day. You’ll also drive people to health care appointments and take them to do fun activities, such as shopping, visiting a museum, or fishing! Our driving heroes assist people on and off the vehicle, and even into their homes. You care for the buses, ensuring they are clean, fully fueled, and ready for the next day’s ride. Most importantly, you are the first and last point of contact for our participants each day and have a big impact on the success of their day!
Requirements:What qualifications should you bring to the table? We are looking for that special person whose purpose in life is serving others with a positive approach and enjoys being around people. We’d appreciate at least 6 months working with aging adults and a valid Michigan Chauffeur’s license with a clean driving record. We’d prefer previous driving experience but are glad to train if you’re the right person!
