Job description

Gaggle is seeking Independent Contractors for temporary, non-renewing contract positions reviewing student activity for potentially concerning activity. This contract work allows you the flexibility to work within the constraints of your own schedule.

The Gaggle Safety Management department offers a 24x7 service that is used to identify and uncover drug use, bullying, threats of school violence, teen depression, suicidal intentions, and abusive domestic situations of students in grades K-12. As an Independent Contractor, you would be supporting Gaggle's work in making a positive impact to the lives of K-12 students.

Responsibilities:

  • Review and analyze student activity to identify potentially inappropriate usage including words, phrases, statements, and images within email, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and more

  • Process content correctly and efficiently as defined by metrics provided by Gaggle and regularly visible to Independent Contractors

  • Escalate questionable findings to Gaggle Safety Representatives

  • Communicate and collaborate via chat with a nationwide team

  • Additional tasks as assigned

Requirements:

  • Experience in education, crisis management, safety content review, child advocacy, or a related field

  • Interest and enthusiasm for reading, as the position requires focused attention to reading content of varying lengths

  • Ability to delineate between potentially harmful student matters and harmless situations

  • Ability to exhibit tolerance of and respect for others opinions

  • Ability to work independently; experience working as an Independent Contractor preferred

  • Access to high-speed internet (satellite is not acceptable)

  • Access to a computer, chromebook, or laptop (tablets/phones are not acceptable)

Additional Considerations:

  • This is a 24/7/365 team. The majority of work available will be between 7am and 4pm central Monday through Friday with a lesser, but consistent, need for work outside of those hours. 

  • The non-renewing, Independent Contractor assignment is not guaranteed for any length of time, workloads and hours will vary

  • This Independent Contractor role is not an employee role, and is not eligible for benefits or overtime pay

  • Contracts can be terminated at any time

  • There is potential for contract renewal depending on workflow and personal ability to fulfill responsibilities outlined above

  • May be eligible for additional contract opportunities after reaching 30 hours

  • This contract requires you be able to view content of a sensitive nature, including exposure to graphic content that may contain nudity

  • Because Gaggle strives to enter into contract agreements with Independent Contractors who contribute to Gaggle's mission of student safety, annual criminal background checks are required for all prospective Independent Contractors - this screening includes, but is not limited to, both a National Criminal and National Sex Offender Registry check
