On the Association website at www.careproviders.org, there is a place where members can post jobs at no cost, and those looking for work can find those opportunities.  It’s our Job Center, which you can access by clicking on Career Opportunities on the menu on our website.

Once there, you can click “Search Jobs” to see the positions currently posted on our site.  From the list, click on a job title and you will get a description of that job, including requirements, benefits, the facility name and the contact information for answering the job posting.  If you click on Member Postings, you, as a member, can post any openings at your facility.  It’s easy – just like filling out a form – and when you’re done, just click on the submit button and it gets posted.  You can also edit job postings from this page, too.  (Remember, you must have the Job Admin role to post jobs, so if you have not posted one before, please contact Angela at 952-854-2844 or webmaster@careproviders.org to have this role in place.  Once you do, you will be able to post as many jobs as you like!)

There is also a link to Non-Member Postings, where non-members are directed to contact our office, as they have to pay for their jobs to be posted.

What do you do if you don’t need to post a job, but want to order something?  The quickest way to do that is through our eStore, which is also on the menu on our website.  Click Browse Products and you will have three choices.  The first one, Archived Online Education, brings you to a page where you can order access to any webinar you’d like to review or may have missed.  Some of them are free to members; others have a low cost that gives you access to the webinar for 15 days.  This provides ample opportunity to show it to everyone in your facility who needs to review the information.

The second link, CPM Products, takes you to items you can order from us, such as Resident’s Rights Forms, Vulnerable Adults Act brochures, and 2010 Compensation Reports for Nursing Facilities or for Senior Housing.  Click on the item you are interested in, then click Add to Cart under the Member heading, and you will see the item in your shopping cart.  Change the quantity if you need to, then continue shopping or click Checkout Now to finish processing your order.  You may choose to pay by credit card, or as a member you may be invoiced (prospective members must pay before their items are shipped).

The third link, Event Registration, will let you register for any educational seminars or webinars that are currently accepting registrations.  There are none available at this time, but once we advertise others, they will be found here.  (Convention Registration follows a separate process from other registrations.  You may register for the 2010 Care Providers of Minnesota Convention & Exposition by clicking here.)

Other features of our eStore are on the main eStore page.  The Questions section explains why we ask for certain information when you place an order, and states that the shipping cost is included in the price of your product order.  The Help section lets you know who to contact with questions about technical difficulties with the site, or questions about our products or your order.

If the CPM eStore doesn’t have what you need, you can try our Partners section.  Through the AHCA Bookstore, you can order the Long Term Care Survey Binder, the MDS 3.0 RAI Manual, and many other items.  Through NCAL, you can order a Disaster Preparedness Guide for Assisted Living Facilities, Customer Service in Assisted Living:  A Leader’s Guide to Energizing Your Customer Service Team, and many more items.  AHCA and NCAL are our national affiliates, and as a member of Care Providers of Minnesota, you can order from them at member pricing as well.

So whether you need to post a job or order a product, we have something on our website for you – and it’s all either free or at special member pricing.

You can find much more than this on our site – www.careproviders.org – and I’ll point out more for you next month!
