Their mission is to fill vacancies thoughtfully by ensuring the right match between educators and school needs, promoting quality learning experiences for students. By providing consistent support for educators both inside and outside the classroom, Scoot emphasizes a nurturing and positive educational setting for all parties involved. The company offers flexible and varied opportunities such as substitute teaching, paraprofessional aid, behavior interventionists, bilingual support, and roles in after-school programs or early childhood centers, depending on location and certifications.

The role discussed here pertains to working as a paraprofessional assistant, specifically focusing on students with special education needs. These positions are engaging and impactful, requiring individuals to work in small groups or one-on-one situations. This hands-on role includes working closely with children who may have diverse or complex needs, fostering a safe, supportive, and productive learning environment. Paraprofessional assistants often provide crucial support to resource teachers in implementing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), helping to customize education approaches to fit specific student requirements. Additional responsibilities involve assisting students with personal care needs such as toileting, feeding, and behavior management under various circumstances.

Scoot provides more than just job placements; they offer comprehensive support to their educators, including access to a personal Education Consultant. This consultant will match candidates to assignments aligned with their skills, experiences, and interests while providing 1:1 check-ins to address feedback, career guidance, training opportunities, and any concerns educators might have. Many of these consultants bring with them teaching backgrounds and practical insights, ensuring that candidates are well-prepared and supported throughout their assignments.

Compensation for this role ranges from $20 to $23 per hour depending on certification, school, assignment type, and length of placement, with long-term placements typically offering higher pay. Employees enjoy paid training hours and professional development opportunities tailored to state-specific requirements. The company adopts a W-2 employment model to simplify the tax process for educators, offers direct deposit weekly paychecks, reimburses for background check expenses, provides 401k enrollment options post eligibility, and runs a referral program rewarding both the referrer and referee after completion of ten work shifts.

Working with Scoot Education means joining an organization committed to equal opportunity employment practices, valuing diverse backgrounds and upholding inclusivity in all hiring processes. It encourages passionate individuals who demonstrate empathy, resilience, and an eagerness to contribute to educational success through meaningful, hands-on work with students. If you have prior experience in special education, ABA therapy, or have assisted students requiring personal 1:1 care or managing challenging behavior situations, this opportunity allows you to leverage those skills while growing professionally.

This role is ideal for both full-time and part-time professionals seeking temporary or ongoing assignments within educational settings in Napa and potentially other regions. The work environment is dynamic, involving various physical demands such as sitting, standing, walking, and safe lifting, emphasizing a commitment to student wellbeing and instructional support.
