Summary: We are seeking an independent consultant to handle proofreading jobs on an “as needed” contract basis in an effort to ensure we produce high quality, error-free publications for customers within our senior living and multifamily divisions.

Description: The independent consultant must be a spelling and grammar expert who is reliable, detail-oriented, and able to provide remote proofreading services in a timely manner with no supervision. The consultant will be responsible for reading publications on a job-by-job basis, identifying and correcting spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, and identifying unclear content for resolution to help ensure we produce error-free publications for our customers.

The independent consultant with whom we contract must provide and use his or her own office space, computer, equipment, Microsoft-based operating systems, and Internet tools. Because independent consultants work for themselves and other clients, we ask that each consultant’s overall workload be flexible enough to allow the consultant to commit to a minimum of 100 jobs per month before the consultant agrees to contract with us. We anticipate we will need assistance with approximately 500 jobs per month.

Industry: This position is part of our Senior Living/Multifamily division, which is dedicated to serving the needs of America’s fast-growing senior population and increasingly vibrant multifamily population. Our Senior Living/Multifamily division provides comprehensive, individualized solutions that help on-site personnel ensure each individual’s safety, comfort, health and access to the rich social and intellectual engagement every resident, family member and prospect deserves.
