What You’ll Do

Want a job where you actually make a difference?

As a BrightBee Instructional assistant, you’ll support students in local schools —supporting their educational goals as directed by each school site. The more sites and assignment types you are open to working, the more your earning potential is. BrightBee recruits candidates (that's you!) to support local schools and nonprofits. You will use our BrightBee app to claim assignments at schools/non-profits in your area and get paid a week later. Our goal is simple: help schools succeed and give workers the tools they need to grow in their careers.

Consistent Work at Uncommon Schools!

• 5 days per week
• Full school day shifts (7a-4p)
• School site/address: 6565 Flatlands Ave, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11236 (this is where we expect the most immediate need)

What You’ll Be Doing in Brooklyn Hive

What is a "Hive?"

A hive is a geographical region of multiple school districts and sites that you (as a Bee) will be able to claim assignments at. These assignments could be as short as a single day or as long as multiple week/months. You should be willing/able to commute to various school sites in the Brooklyn area to be considered.

What you will need:

• HS diploma
• Bi-lingual in Spanish

Before You Start

To keep students safe, as an independent contractor, you’ll need to:

• undergo a background check
• Follow safety and reporting guidelines

PLEASE NOTE: Costs associated with the clearance process are the sole responsibility of the candidate, as this engagement is for an independent contractor role rather than a traditional employment position. Requirements vary by state but may include the cost of a background check, obtaining a copy of any college transcript you have, and the cost of completing Mandated Reporter training. The average cost of completing clearance in New York for student support is around $140.
