What You Do: As a sub-contractor you will be accompanying clients, one-on-one, on community outings (grocery store, bank, mental health appointments etc.). These outings are to be completed with your personal vehicle (car insurance is required) and your mileage will be reimbursed* Some trips may be completed on public transportation and if that is the case you will be responsible for bus fare. For those trips you will still be reimbursed for mileage to and from your residence which will offset the bus fare expense. We recommend getting an Orca Card if you do not already have one in order to limit the personal cost to you of each trip. Prior to starting any chaperone trips, you will be required to participate in a paid one, to two, hour training provided by the DOC for each client you chaperone. Wildfire will also train you on the systems and processes we use to document each trip.

We are here to help clients better themselves in order to be productive members of the community. - Patience The background check process can take a 1 to 2 weeks to complete, but once approved things can progress quickly from there. Patience is also required with the clients as they work through their program and become acclimated to being in the community again. - Adaptability This business is ever-changing and ever-growing so being flexible to change is an important attribute for any of our sub-contractors. What We Offer: Compensation- Hourly Rate of $16/hr for first 90 days during onboarding. After the first 90 days the rate can be renegotiated. Mileage reimbursement rate (currently $0.56/mile) This rate changes every year based on the IRS Federal Mileage Rate.
