The Client Monitor journals each visit and provides a report, in person, to an officer of AdvoGuard once every two weeks.

Compensation: The pay is $9 - $11 per hour, commensurate with the applicant’s background and training. The rewards of contributing tangibly to someone’s life and well-being are immeasurable.

Anyone interested in any of these fields as a career or avocation will gain invaluable hands-on experience as a Client Monitor.
