Better lives through great sleepOur Mission- We help people thrive
through great sleepWe’ve found the Stakeholders who benefit most
from us, excel at what they do, and work most effectively with the
team share these values and beliefs:Being Your Best SelfThe Dream
Team strives to be the best version of themselves. Being your best
self brings significance to their life and to those around them. Be
significant! They grow every dayThe Dream Team grows every day. We
are committed to improving our health and our patient’s health. We
all learn something new every day. We are a better version of
ourselves this week than last week. They own their actionsWe work
together so we each own the problem, act on the problem, so the
problem does not own us. Our patients tend to meet us when they are
having health issues. They may feel out of control and/or
overwhelmed due to not knowing what the problem is. The saying of
‘the greatest fear is the fear of the unknown’ is a true concern.
They are Committed to movement in a purposeful directionThis is the
definition of Conation. The team says “Just Do It”. Our team
greatly desire to achieve their Ideal Lifestyle; where they have
the time, money and significance they desire. This includes
accomplishment of both their articulated and unarticulated health
and life goals. They’re eager to achieve those goals, understanding
that it requires a thoughtful investment of time, collaboration,
and capital. They Do More Than Expected.The Dream Team does more
than expected of them. They don’t stop at only their narrow job
description. They always help others including Dream Team members
and patients. LoveLove always seeks the long-term best interest of
the one being loved. The Dream Team expresses love daily. We have
the definition prominently posted so all can see in the office. We
desire to focus on those things in life that are most important to
them, such as family, health, spirituality, and an active
lifestyle. Love always works in the long term to be your best self.
The team works as a catalyst. WWJDThe Dream Team is a group of
like-minded motivated adults working together. They use common
values in the decision-making process. At DSC we think What Would
Jesus Do (WWJD) in this situation? We also use our decision matrix
and ask the following: Is it good for the Company? 2) Is it good
for the Team? 3) Is it good for the Patients? and 4) Is it good for
the Vendors? When we run our problem/dilemma through this thought
process, we come up with the best solution.They are committed to
excellence, but excellence is a moving target. Our team desires
excellence in their lives. Life changes rapidly and they will
adapt.They Understand and Appreciate TimeThis is the great
equalizer. Everyone has the same number of hours available per
week. You get what you intend, not what you hope for.Take the
agreed upon plan and ‘just do it’. If you hope it will change
without taking action, it won’t change.Who are you?If you are
looking for a box within which you will find a clear list of tasks
to perform while you are “at work”, please do not apply – we don’t
see life that way. If you enjoy meaningful work, that focuses on
RESULTS not activity, then we might be a good fit. This is a
position for someone who wants to make meaning, not just money, and
have an ongoing impact in the lives of the people they encounter.
This person doesn’t have a need to draw attention to themselves,
but they probably will, simply because they enjoy being so
outgoing. They can’t help themselves; they are always paying
attention to the needs of others. They look around a filled room,
see the one person who is new, and walk right over to engage them,
make them feel comfortable, and introduce them to others.They are
infectiously positive, which is very different than getting excited
about shiny objects or chasing squirrels. They are not easily
distracted by a constant stream of “new things”, but are very
focused on seeing what they can do to help people get from where
they are, to where they want to be. Sincerity is their hallmark,
and it comes out in a sincere interest in others, not in mushy
emotionalism (although being emotional about seeing others is fine
– a hug is a great thing). We truly believe in the following by Zig
Ziglar – “If you help enough other people get to their goals, you
will get to yours.”The person for this position lives and thinks in
a world of abundance (how can I help make you successful), not in a
world of scarcity (there is only so much to go around, so I better
get mine before I help you get yours.) You might be a good fit
if:1) You are looking for a company where you will make a
significant impact for a very long time as an important and equal
team member, not as a simple “worker”.2) You are highly proactive
and highly detail oriented, 3) You like a fluid, expanding
organization that is small, but growing rapidly 4) You enjoy
meaningful work, a focus on RESULTS, detailed administrative work
that you have to manage yourself, working very closely with other
Stakeholders (people who are highly committed) and completely on
your own from the office with no one watching you, and if 5) You
enjoy helping us all figure out how to get thereResponsibilities
Include: 1) Living out our Vision statement – “Better Lives Through
Great Sleep” You don’t just work here, you get out of bed and come
to work because you want to help increase the overall happiness of
our community by providing excellent customer service and care. You
have to take on this vision and make it your own like everyone at
our company. It’s not a nice statement on a wall, but a way we live
at work and at home. If you don’t believe that Better Lives Through
Great Sleep, this is not the place for you.2) Live out our Mission
statement – ““We help people thrive through great sleep” while
building lasting relationships with our customers. We are not just
a one and done company. Building lasting relationships with our
customers is a main priority for us. You will help mentor and
support each of your patients through the diagnosis and treatment
of their sleep disorder. 3) The mindset of an “owner”. This isn’t
just an “office assistant position”. We don’t have “office managers
or “front desk people”. We just have Stakeholders, and no matter
what your role is with us, you’re as much a part of what we do as
anyone else. You need to have that mindset – you are an incredibly
valuable part of our team and our customers will get to know you
and lean on you to help them.4) The mindset of an adult – We’re not
looking for someone who needs to be told what to do, when to show
up, what time recess is, and when they need to go home. We’re
looking for someone who is a self-managed, self-motivated adult who
knows what RESULT we want, and enjoys taking the bull by the horns
to get it done, without being watched, managed or directed We all
work together in community to get things done, and we need someone
who will join us as an equal team member, not as an “underling” or
employee/child.5) Setting the right atmosphere in the room, making
it inviting - THIS IS A CRITICAL PART OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. You
will greet, converse with, educate and communicate with our
customers and assist them during their experiences in our office.
You will also help to make them feel comfortable and notice all the
little things that nobody else would normally notice, that could
possibly make an experience great, or not so great, for all of our
customers.6) Hosting and welcoming people – in general, we want you
to think of yourself as being “the face of Dream Sleep Center” to
our customers and clients. They will never see you as a “room setup
person” or a “refreshments person”, but as the face of our company,
a resource for them, someone they can go to in order to find out
what would best serve them. At many of our customer encounters
there will be people who have never met anyone at our company, and
you’ll play an important part in spotting them, making them feel
welcome, and connecting them to others in the company. We want to
be known for having the most welcoming atmosphere in town, and you
will play a big part in creating and sustaining that atmosphere.7)
Performing a range of simple to sometimes complex office work
(entering customer info, sending/receiving important information,
keeping schedules for appointments, keeping detailed records and
notes, scribing medical documentation during patient visits,
updating, adding/deleting/changing, printing, collating,
assembling, etc.)8) Working with word documents, spreadsheets, eCW
EMR, GoogleDocs, Etc.9) Social Media – understanding how to develop
our presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, Instagram and
other social media.10) Behind the scenes – Maintaining the
cleanliness of the office, calling and arranging appointments,
stocking and ordering supplies, coordinating appointments, keeping
order in the office and in the patient records. There are a lot of
other things you’ll do to help support patients and the other
Stakeholders at Dream Sleep Center. We want you to proactively look
around and see how you can make things better.11) Learn what we do
and make it your own –We don’t want you to just be in the room for
appointments and greet people. You will set up the room and the
atmosphere, but you will enjoy being there because you love helping
people and you find the field fascinating. 12) Hours – 40
hours/week with opportunity for incentives based on performance. We
trust and help each other to get things done. We are all adults and
are responsible for our own work and getting things done. This will
be a Monday-Thursday overnight schedule 8pm-6am.13) Pay – will be
commensurate with the talents, initiative and motivation you bring
to the position. Starting pay is around /- $15-20/hour.14) Acting
as if you own the company – (taking initiative and ownership,
making decisions, thinking ahead and being proactive (we don’t need
