Are you passionate about helping young adults find their footing in the "real world"? We are looking for a high-energy, empathetic, and organized para educator, with experience in job coaching and community-based skills instruction, to join our team.

In this role, you aren't just "assisting in a classroom." You are a bridge between school and independence. You will work directly with students with diverse disabilities�mentoring them at job sites, teaching essential life skills, and helping them transition from the structured school environment to meaningful adult lives.

Key Responsibilities

• On-Site Job Coaching: Travel with students to community work sites to provide 1:1 or small-group vocational training.
• Skills Instruction: Teach "soft skills" (professionalism, communication, punctuality) and "hard skills" (specific job tasks) tailored to each student's goals.
• Independence Building: Assist students in mastering public transportation, personal budgeting, and community navigation.
• Data & Documentation: Keep clear, concise records of student progress toward their Individualized Education Program (IEP) transition goals.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the Transition Teacher, local businesses, and families to ensure students have the support they need to succeed.

Qualifications

• Education: High School Diploma or GED required (Associate's degree or Para-pro certification preferred).
• Experience: Previous experience working with individuals with disabilities (specifically autism, intellectual disabilities, or developmental delays) is a major plus.
• Mobility: Must have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record (you may be required to transport students in a district owned vehicle or meet them at community sites).
• Mindset: You are patient, adaptable, and a "proactive problem solver" who can think on your feet when a student faces a challenge in the community.

Why Join Us?

• Meaningful Impact: You get to see the direct result of your work as students land their first jobs and gain independence.
• Supportive Environment: Work within a dedicated team of educators and therapists who share your mission.
• Benefits: Competitive school district benefits package including health, dental, and retirement plans.
