Employment
Behavioral Aide (K-2)
Be One Child's Steady Person: 1:1
The job in a nutshell:
One of our K–2 students needs a dedicated adult at their side all day, and we'd love that adult to be you. You'll help this child feel secure, get through the hard moments, and take on a little more on their own each week. You'll work from a plan built with the teacher, specialists, and family, so you won't be figuring it out alone.
What your days look like:
● Follow the student's behavior and learning plan, and tell the team what's working and what isn't.
● Coach calming, communication, and coping skills in the moment, wherever they come up: classroom, playground, lunch line, hallway.
● Step back as soon as the student is ready, so they get the credit for doing it themselves.
● Help with personal care and physical needs when the student requires it.
● Check in often with the teacher and family so everyone is working from the same page.
● Be there for lunch, recess, and transitions, alongside the student's classmates.
Who we hope to meet:
● You stay calm when things get loud, and you're still warm on a hard day.
● You like young kids and can be playful, firm, and fair, sometimes all in one minute.
● You're curious about new strategies and happy to be coached.
● You can handle the physical side of the work, including lifting when a student needs support.
● You see families as partners.
● Experience with behavior support, special education, or early education is great. Good judgment and a good heart matter more.
