Residential Advisors

Mount Michael Benedictine School is a Catholic college preparatory residential/day high
school rooted in Benedictine values for young men committed to excellence. Students
develop spiritually, intellectually, and socially through the comprehensive curriculum
and communal experience to become future leaders. Mount Michael Benedictine School
is located on 400 acres overlooking the Elkhorn river in northwest Omaha. We are
looking for talented, self-motivated, inspiring persons to serve as Residential Advisors for
the male dorms.

Residential Advisors work collaboratively to monitor and support the residential dorms.
Residential Advisors are expected to utilize their independent judgment when making
decisions related to the supervision of residential students and are expected to be
prepared to make critical, sometimes life impacting decisions as the first responder for
students’ needs in non-office hours, including nights and weekends. Residential Advisors
will oversee and interact dynamically with students on the floor; suggest, create and
participate in activities; communicate with school personnel as needed; make decisions
related to discipline and safety issues and administer medications in addition to other
duties.

Compensation for this position is $15.25 per hour for hours worked up to 40 hours per
work week and time and one-half that rate for hours worked over 40 in the work week.
The Residential Advisor and Mount Michael will work together to determine a
reasonable approximation of hours worked per week and the Residential Advisor will
receive straight-time and overtime pay each week based on that reasonable
approximation. This allows Residential Advisors the advantage of knowing the amount
of each paycheck. If those hours deviate significantly in any week, the Residential
Advisor will be paid for the additional hours at the regular rate or overtime rate,
whichever is applicable. Residential Advisors also receive a room with private
bathroom, free community laundry, parking, utilities, cable and internet access. Even
though this position is a nine-month position and pay is limited to that nine months, the
room with a private bathroom, free community laundry, parking, utilities, cable and
internet access are available for 12 months provided the Residential Advisor has agreed
to return to work as a Residential Advisor during the next school term. While this is
designated as a nine-month position, please note that employment is at-will so the

relationship at any time for any lawful reason or no reason, even during the nine-month
period.
