Frequently asked questions
This hybrid position requires multitasking between general building upkeep—like plumbing and carpentry—and safely ferrying residents to appointments or transfers. Flexibility and strong time management enable smooth transitions between physical maintenance tasks and attentive, secure driving responsibilities.
Expertise in basic electrical, plumbing, and carpentry tasks is highly prized, alongside proficiency in operating snow removal and lawn care equipment. Given Vermont’s seasonal weather, adaptability to outdoor upkeep and routine safety checks is essential for maintaining facility standards year-round.
With experience, one might advance into supervisory roles such as Maintenance Technician Supervisor or Equipment Maintenance Manager. Developing a commercial driver’s license (CDL) with endorsements further expands opportunities in transportation logistics within healthcare or eldercare industries.
Employees enjoy perks like a gas allowance, pay in lieu of benefits boosting hourly earnings by 16%, tuition assistance for nursing ambitions, and a 401k plan with employer matching. Such benefits underscore Post Acute Partners’ commitment to supporting staff well-being and professional development.
The environment fosters respect, consistency, and teamwork, emphasizing resident dignity and staff recognition. Regular meetings, reward programs, and a diverse workplace contribute to a supportive atmosphere where employees are encouraged to contribute ideas and take pride in their role.
Candidates need a valid driver’s license, with a CDL and passenger endorsement preferred but not mandatory. Maintaining a clean driving record and familiarity with Vermont’s transportation regulations ensures compliance and safety while transporting residents.
Wages span from $17.40 up to $26.10 per hour, with increments reflecting accrued skills and experience. Additionally, a pay-in-lieu-of-benefits option can increase earnings by approximately 16%, making the overall compensation package competitive for the local market.
Burlington’s aging population drives steady demand for versatile maintenance and transport professionals. While competition exists, candidates with dual skills and flexibility to work varied shifts, including on-call hours, stand out in local hiring pools.
Balancing urgent repair needs with scheduled resident transports requires strong prioritization. Dealing with Vermont’s winter weather, ensuring vehicle safety, and maintaining confidentiality while engaging respectfully with elderly residents are common aspects shaping daily routines.
This role supports both facility operations and resident well-being by ensuring safe environments and reliable transportation. It acts as a vital link between maintenance efficiency and compassionate service, reflecting the company’s values of trust, vision, and consistent care.
