Videoconference Hosts
Hiring remote hosts for classes beginning Fall 2023
One Spirit has openings for paid remote-work Videoconference Hosts. Our Hosts facilitate teaching and learning in One Spirit’s unique offerings in a way that allows technology to fade into the background of the experience, so that teachers and learners can focus on the content and class activities.
Location & Schedule
Work from Home: All sessions are held by videoconference and require working remotely.
All Roles are part-time: Classes meet weekday evenings and weekend days. Team members are matched to programs, classes, and events based on their skills, interest, and availability.
Key Accountabilities
Host the technical end of courses and events using Zoom in alignment with One Spirit's best practices.
Collaborate with faculty and other hosts to plan for successful events.

Monitor the videoconference text chat, audio, and video for quality and clarity.

Skills
Technology: Our hosts have various levels of technical skill, but all enjoy an above-average technical orientation: they are rarely, if ever, frustrated by their phones or computers.
Communication: Outstanding spoken and written verbal skills and typing at least 30 words per minute.
Curiosity & Learning: Hosts consider the experiences of teachers and learners, improvise ways to improve our offerings, and share new knowledge with each other.
