Who We Are: BrightBee is an educational technology startup revolutionizing how K-12 schools recruit and engage with support staff. Our mission is to create a future where schools thrive and workers have the support they need to prosper and grow.  We believe in unlocking the potential of every school team member, no matter where they started their career journey. 

The Opportunity: As a part of BrightBee, you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of roles such as supporting roles in educational classrooms, helping out from the front office to the lunchroom, and keeping students safe and engaged throughout the school day. These roles could be anything from serving as a teacher’s assistant, working as a paraprofessional, reinforcing positive behavior intervention, assisting the office, lunchroom or playground, or providing extra care during after school programs. 

How BrightBee Works: You’ll be an essential part of our dynamic workforce as an independent contractor, ready to respond and commute to on-site work opportunities at nearby K-12 schools and nonprofits via the BrightBee app. You’ll be able to pick which work assignments match your experience, preferences, and schedule and will never have to take on an assignment that you don’t feel is a fit for you.
