Additional Information

The individual will need to be at the school locations throughout the valley. The locations change daily / weekly but the individual is just responsible to get to and from the school location each day. It is not a traveling position in between multiple schools each day (if this happens, the contractor is eligible for mileage reimbursement). It breaks down to a normal commute since some schools will be close to the persons home and some will be further away, but it averages out.

They are working Swing Shifts - 4 - 10 hour days, one team is M-Th and the other is T-Fr. This can vary and the person needs to be 100 % flexible. We have had people say they are good with this and after a few months they are no longer into it and end up leaving. This is a hot topic right now. Sell the 4 10 hour shift schedule.
