Job Description
Part-Time College Counselor supporting high school students and their families through the college admissions process. Building 1:1 relationships and providing guidance on college applications.
Responsibilities:
- As a part-time Collegewise counselor, you'll carry a caseload of 12+ students — most of whom are juniors and seniors, though many counselors also work with underclassmen — and guide them through the full arc of the college process.
- You'll build 1:1 relationships, counsel students outside of school hours and in their own time zones, and occasionally work weekends during the busy fall season.
- You'll be supporting both students and the families behind them, and working alongside colleagues who have absolutely no reverence for US News & World Report college rankings.
- Part-time counselors typically spend 10–20 hours per week with students, depending on season and caseload size. Counseling sessions are billed at $75/hour; administrative and non-counseling work is billed at $35/hour.
Requirements:
- You work with students of all ages. Not just seniors. Freshmen and sophomores think differently, need different things, and require a different kind of rapport.
- You understand families, not just students. Working with parents — anxious, skeptical, hard-to-reach ones included — is a core part of this job.
- You're a project manager at heart. You drive the process, track the deadlines, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks — for 12+ students at a time.
- You're comfortable working within evolving systems and learning as you go.
Benefits:
- Sick leave that accrues as you work — you'll earn 1 hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 80 hours, and it rolls over year to year
- 401(k) with company matching — you're eligible once you've completed one year of service and 1,000 hours worked in that same year; for every dollar you contribute (up to 5% of your pay), Collegewise adds 33 cents
- NACAC membership — we'll sponsor your National Association for College Admission Counseling membership upon request
- Professional development — access to Collegewise's internal L&D programming, training resources, and ongoing support
