During your interview we will go into detail about what assignments are available at these sites. T he more sites and assignment types you are open to working, the more your earning potential is .

• Work 2–5 days per week (Monday- Friday). 
• Schedule/Hours Available

To keep students safe , you’ll need to:

• Pass a background check

  • 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.
