This Teaching Assistant position offers a unique opportunity for individuals seeking to make a meaningful impact in education before the next school year begins. Although the current academic year ends in early June, joining the team at this time allows candidates to showcase their skills, gain crucial classroom experience, and build meaningful relationships that can lead to continued employment for the upcoming school year. The role involves providing essential assistance to classroom teachers, especially in special education settings, by supporting lesson preparation, classroom management, and delivering individualized and small group instructional assistance.

The position emphasizes the use of various teaching methods to support students’ educational and developmental goals, including personal care assistance such as hygiene and toileting when required. Candidates interested in this role will benefit from a supportive work culture, competitive pay ranging between $22 and $25 per hour, and a stable weekly paycheck. Working hours are Monday to Friday, typically between 7:30 a.m. and either 3:00 or 4:30 p.m., with no weekend commitments, making it a suitable option for individuals seeking consistent, full-time or part-time employment.

Ideal applicants are those with a high school diploma or equivalent, experience working with special educational needs children, and proficiency in English. Physical readiness to be active throughout the school day and assist students as needed is also essential. Preferred qualifications include school work experience and CPI training, but the role is well suited for those looking to enter or advance in educational support roles.
