All per-diem employees are eligible for accrued sick time.

Pay

We offer a competitive salary, ranging from $30/hour-$65/hour, depending on the type of work that will be assigned to complete (e.g. "at-home" work versus "away from home" work, such as working directly with educators).

Schedule

Hours: Per Diem consultants are scheduled on an as-needed basis, paid hourly. Schedule is highly dependent on customer demand – professional development is usually scheduled with partners during normal school hours. Our peak times of the year include August through October and then again January and February, although we deliver professional development throughout the school year. Given the as needed and heavily seasonal nature of this role, we do not recommend that you maintain a full-time role that operates during school hours, simultaneous with the Per Diem Educational Consultant role at Curriculum Associates.
