Paraprofessional

Want a job where you actually make a difference?

At BrightBee, we're tackling the K-12 staffing crisis by connecting schools with the support staff they need to thrive.  Our independent contractors, called Bees, choose assignments that fit their skills and schedules.  Opportunities range from single day assignments to those that last several weeks.

Right now we're in need of Bees to support in paraprofessional roles across San Francisco - supporting KIPP Public Schools, YMCA San Francisco, and After School Enrichment Program (ASEP).

Schedule:

• Work a minimum of 2 days/week - shifts available Monday-Friday (1-6pm)
• Great as a side hustle or consistent weekly income

If you want flexible work AND meaningful impact—this is it.

🎯 What You’ll Be Doing

• Support students with learning and after school classroom activities
• Help manage behavior using positive reinforcement
• Assist during afterschool activities
• Work closely with teachers and school staff

🚀 Who This Is Perfect For

• You enjoy working with kids or teens
• You’re patient, reliable, and positive
• You want to build experience in education or behavior support
• You’re looking for flexible and/or consistent work (several of our single day assignments convert to long-term opportunities)

✅ Basic Requirements

• Minimum of 48 college credits or a 460 score on the ETS ParaPro Exam
• Experience working as a paraprofessional
• RBT experience a plus  
• Bilingual (Spanish)

🔐 Before You Start

To keep students safe, you’ll need to:

• Pass a background check
• Follow safety and reporting guidelines
• Complete required school clearances which you are responsible for paying.
  • 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 California is around $130.

👉 Don’t stress—we guide you through every step.
