Remote Contractor information

What is the difference between Remote Contractor vs Remote Freelancer?

AspectRemote ContractorRemote Freelancer
CredentialsOften requires specific certifications or industry experienceMay have varied credentials, often self-taught or with informal skills
Work EnvironmentTypically works for a single employer or client on a contractual basisWorks independently on multiple projects for different clients
Employer UsageCommonly hired through agencies or direct contracts for ongoing workHired directly by clients for short-term or one-off projects
Search & Comparison IntentOften compared for long-term project work or contractual rolesCompared for flexible, project-based work opportunities

Remote Contractors usually work for a single employer under a formal contract, often requiring specific credentials. Freelancers work independently across multiple clients, offering flexibility but less long-term stability. Both roles are popular in remote work, but they differ in work structure and employer relationships.

What is a remote contractor?

Remote contractors are independent professionals or freelancers who work for companies or clients from a location outside of the traditional office setting, often from their own home or a co-working space. They are typically hired for specific projects or tasks and are not considered employees, which means they manage their own taxes, benefits, and work schedule. Remote contractors use digital communication tools to collaborate with teams and deliver results across a variety of industries, such as IT, marketing, writing, and design. This arrangement provides flexibility for both the contractor and the hiring company.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote contractor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Contractor, strong time management, self-motivation, and relevant domain expertise are essential, often supported by proven experience or industry-specific credentials. Familiarity with collaboration tools like Slack, Zoom, and project management platforms such as Asana or Trello is typically required. Excellent written communication, adaptability, and problem-solving skills help remote contractors stand out in virtual environments. These skills and qualities ensure productivity, reliability, and effective collaboration when working independently from various locations.

How does communication typically work for remote contractors collaborating with distributed teams?

Remote contractors usually communicate with their teams via digital platforms such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom. It is common to participate in regular virtual meetings, submit progress updates, and coordinate tasks through project management tools. Since contractors often work across time zones, clear and timely communication is essential to stay aligned with team goals and project deadlines. Being proactive in sharing your availability and progress helps ensure smooth collaboration and fosters trust within the team.

Kansas- SHARED LIVING CONTRACTOR

CLASS LTD

Columbus, KS • Remote

$47K - $69K/hr

Full-time, Part-time

Re-posted 5 days ago

Job description

A rewarding work from home position providing companionship, friendship, and support to individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

You can make a fulfilling difference in someone’s life by bringing them into your home and assisting with independent living skills and daily activities.

Shared Living is a Residential Service that CLASS provides to Intellectually/Developmentally Disabled adults who are on the IDD waiver. CLASS will match up an individual (the client) with a Shared Living Contractor (SLC—you) whose interests are similar. The client would live in your home and pay toward rent/utilities/food/etc. You would provide Residential Services and help the client with training, assistance, or supervision in areas such as:

Bathing/Dressing

Personal Grooming

Oral Care

Household Chores/Home Maintenance

Meal Plan/Prep/Clean Up

Shopping

Communication/Telephone

Laundry

Use of Appliances

Social amp; Adaptive Skills

Safety Training

Budgeting/Bill Pay/Money Management

Medication Assistance

Community Inclusion/Participation

Rights amp; Responsibilities

Medical Appointments/1st Aid/Basic Healthcare

Exercise/PT/Range of Motion

Recreation/Leisure Activities

Behavior Modification Strategies

Hobbies

Personal Goals

To apply, you must reside in the state of Kansas and attend an Orientation meeting to explain what Shared Living is, the process to become a SLC, the roles and responsibilities, and review of required documentation. After Orientation, you will complete an application and a Personal Preferences Agreement so CLASS can match you with a compatible client. However, this is not a first come, first served process, as CLASS wants to ensure the best possible fit for you, your family, and the individual served!

Requirements:

Everyone over the age of 18 who lives in the SLC home must pass the required background checks listed below:

Adult Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation Central Registry

Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry

KDADS/KBI/Health Occupations Credentialing (HOC)/Criminal Record Check

KDHE/KDADS/Kansas Nurse Aide Registry

Motor Vehicle Records

U.S. Department of Health amp; Human Services, Office of the Inspector General, List of

Excluded Individuals/Entities

SLCs must also complete and pass the following training requirements and recertification every year.

Abuse/Neglect/Exploitation

Rights and Responsibilities

First Aid/CPR

Fire Safety, Blood Borne Pathogens

Medication Administration Supervision/Refresher

Emergency Preparedness

Service Log Documentation (One-time training)

HIPAA Training (One-time training)

Any other Client Related Trainings as determined by the Person-Centered Support Planning Team

MANDT

Universal Enhancements (One-time training)

Person Centered Thinking (One-time training)

Training is provided by CLASS at no cost to SLCs.

Shared Living Contractors will also have at least (1) individual to be on their Backup Plan. Backup Contractors must complete background checks, training, and recertifications. BCs must be available to effectively provide residential services for the client in case of an emergency, or other short-term care situations (e.g. vacation). CLASS LTD will work with the SLC to establish a Backup Plan.

Not ready to commit to becoming a Shared Living Contractor? Become a Backup Contractor instead!

CLASS serves individuals in Southeast Kansas in the four counties of Crawford, Cherokee, Labette, and Montgomery. Contractors and Backup Contractors must reside in the state of Kansas in one of the four counties listed.

Salary varies depending on the level of care and support the individual needs. A typical range of salary is TBD.

Please contact Abby Moerer Director of Shared Living at 620-429-1212 ext # 144 or abby.moerer@classltd.org for more information.
