As an AHM you will be responsible for the day-to-day running of a residence. This may include: creating staff schedules, bank reconciliations and personal finances. Additionally, this position is responsible for troubleshooting issues as they arise, developing and maintaining positive relationships with your co-workers, and serving as a role model for the individuals and staff in the residence.
