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: BrightBee is looking to hire a PE Coach. This role will primarily be responsible for leading a class of K-8 students during Physical Education activities within our network of partnered schools and nonprofits. This position will be an instructional leader for students to promote health, exercise, and sportsmanship while engaging in athletic activities and other wellness and sports-related curriculum. The PE Coach should have the physical ability to play a participant role with the students and have outstanding leadership skills that will foster a positive and inclusive environment. This role will be held primarily outdoors and may be responsible to oversee up to 30 students at a time. Additionally, this role may be requested to monitor recess and other outdoor activities assigned by the school or site partner.

 

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.  At times our contractors may be offered full time employment opportunities from the school and nonprofit partners they have served.
