Job Description

Zen Educate is a leading education staffing company dedicated to supporting schools by connecting them with highly skilled education professionals. Our mission is to simplify the hiring process for educators while fostering better educational outcomes for students. We specialize in providing qualified para educators who are passionate about making a meaningful impact in classrooms, particularly in supporting students with special needs. At Zen Educate, we believe that every student deserves a supportive and welcoming learning environment, and our team plays a critical role in ensuring this vision is realized across the schools we serve.

We are actively recruiting for Para Educators for the 2026/2027 academic year, providing opportunities to start fresh with the new school year. These roles are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, encouraging applicants to apply early to secure their positions before school starts. Whether you are seeking full-time or part-time work, this role offers a rewarding way to contribute to student success while working within a collaborative educational community.

As a Para Educator with Zen Educate, you will assist classroom teachers in creating an efficient and supportive learning environment. Your responsibilities will include working closely with individual students and small groups to reinforce instructional material, aiding with classroom communications, and ensuring the classroom remains conducive to learning and safety. You will be expected to employ various learning methods to enhance student experiences and provide personal care support such as hygiene assistance and toileting when necessary. This position requires physical activity, including moving around the classroom and assisting students physically when required.

The position offers a competitive hourly wage ranging from $22 to $25, paid weekly. Work schedules are Monday to Friday within school hours, typically between 7:30 am and 3:00/4:30 pm, with no weekend work required. Ideal candidates will have experience working with children with special educational needs and providing personal care. Applicants must have professional proficiency in English and valid US work authorization, as Zen Educate does not provide employment visa sponsorship or relocation assistance at this time.

This opportunity is perfect for individuals passionate about education and eager to make a positive difference in the lives of students. Zen Educate supports our team members by offering paid sick leave, weekly pay, and access to a 401K retirement plan, subject to eligibility. Join our team and start your journey in education with a company committed to your success and growth in the educational field.
