Congratulations to Tammy Templeton of Tallapoosa County BOE for winning this year’s School Nurse Bag giveaway at the Alabama Association of School Nurses conference! See all you lovely folks again next year and wishing you a restful summer. Our screeners are looking forward to another successful year and serving you and your students.

Vision Research Corporation is currently looking to hire in-school vision screeners in the following areas... Blount, Colbert, Cullman, Franklin, Fayette, Jefferson, Lamar, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Marion, Morgan, Shelby, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston counties.
If you are someone who enjoys working with children, would like to make a little extra Christmas or vacation money, and have your own transportation and car insurance, then you might be who we’re looking for.

This is a part-time seasonal position. Screenings are done only during school hours; no nights or weekends. Most of our screeners work 3-4 days per week. This is a fantastic position for someone retired, or someone needing a little something to keep them busy a few days per week, or a mom whose kids are in school and is looking for something to do until they get out.

If you are or know of someone this position sounds perfect for, give us a call or send us an email. We have a training session coming up in early August with screenings beginning shortly afterwards. Must live within the counties listed in the flyer to be considered. Email Jennifer Jenkins at [email protected] or (205) 942-4050 (if no answer, please leave a voicemail and your call will be return shortly afterwards).
