Pay:
$180.00
/ each full-day program delivered, + a bonus for each class booked. You will be
an independent contractor, so an entrepreneurial mindset is the best fit for
this role. Admin and outreach time is not paid; however you are free to book as
many sessions a week as you are able to deliver (you will also have some help
with outreach from the FTA team). All scripts and resources are at your
fingertips in our Drive, so you will not have to invent your own outreach
process. All travel and technology/communications expenses can be claimed on
income tax. All program expenses (e.g. for laminating, or for your own
class-set of scissors) are reimbursable to FTA.
