Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Senior Living Career?

Charter Senior Living of West Bend is looking for an experienced Lead Medication Technician / Lead Med Tech who is ready to take on additional leadership responsibility while remaining hands‑on with resident care.

This role is ideal for an experienced Med Tech who other team members naturally turn to for guidance—someone who knows how to organize a shift, support and train associates, maintain medication and documentation standards, and make sure resident needs are followed through from start to finish.

You’ll still provide direct resident and medication support, but you’ll also serve as a leader and resource for caregivers and Med Techs during your assigned shift.

If you’re dependable, confident, organized, and ready to grow your leadership experience, we’d love to meet you.

What Makes This a Lead Role?

As a Lead Med Tech, you’ll help set the standard for the shift.

You’ll be expected to:

• Serve as the lead staff member for the shift when assigned
• Help organize and prioritize the shift's workload
• Assign or coordinate responsibilities among caregivers and Med Techs
• Provide direction and support to associates throughout the shift
• Monitor completion of resident care, documentation, and scheduled responsibilities
• Help keep the team organized when priorities change
• Communicate resident‑care or staffing concerns to the appropriate community leader
• Help maintain a positive, accountable, and resident‑focused team environment
• Lead by example in professionalism, reliability, and resident care

This position provides shift‑level leadership and support while working in partnership with the community’s nursing and leadership team.

Training & Team Development

We want our Lead Med Tech to help make the entire team stronger.

You’ll:

• Help orient and train new caregivers and Medication Technicians
• Serve as a resource for associates who have questions during the shift
• Model proper medication‑administration practices
• Reinforce resident‑care standards and individualized care plans
• Model appropriate infection‑control practices
• Reinforce accurate and timely documentation
• Help new associates understand community expectations and routines
• Identify potential performance, medication, documentation, or resident‑care concerns
• Promptly communicate concerns to the appropriate leader
• Help reinforce community policies and applicable CBRF requirements

Resident Care & Medication Responsibilities

You’ll also continue to provide the hands‑on care our residents depend on, including:

• Administer medications and treatments according to physician orders and community policies
• Maintain accurate Medication Administration Records and required documentation
• Follow medication‑management and medication‑safety procedures
• Monitor residents and report changes in condition
• Assist residents with activities of daily living as needed
• Support individualized resident care plans
• Communicate relevant resident information during shift transitions
• Follow infection‑control and safety practices
• Promote resident dignity, independence, comfort, and quality of life
• Build meaningful relationships with residents and families
• Work collaboratively with nursing, caregiving, and community leadership

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Current applicable Wisconsin CBRF certifications
• Previous Medication Technician/Medication Aide experience
• Experience providing direct care to seniors
• Strong knowledge of medication administration and documentation
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to medication safety
• Dependable attendance and follow‑through
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally
• Ability to organize and prioritize responsibilities during a busy shift
• Confidence providing direction and support to peers
• Ability to recognize concerns and appropriately elevate them to leadership
• Compassionate, resident‑centered approach to care

Preferred

• Previous Assisted Living, Memory Care, or senior living experience
• Previous Lead Med Tech, Lead Caregiver, Shift Lead, or similar experience
• Experience training or orienting new employees
• Experience coordinating shift responsibilities or providing direction to other associates

You’ll Be a Great Fit If...

You’re the person on the shift who:

• Other associates already come to when they have questions
• Notices when something hasn’t been completed and follows through
• Can organize priorities without becoming overwhelmed
• Leads by example instead of simply telling others what to do
• Is confident enough to provide direction while still being a team player
• Takes medication accuracy and documentation seriously
• Communicates concerns instead of allowing problems to continue
• Enjoys teaching and helping newer associates become successful
• Can maintain accountability without creating unnecessary conflict
• Is willing to jump in and help wherever the team needs support
• Understands that being a Lead means taking additional ownership of the shift

Compensation

$21.00–$23.00/hour
