  • 1+ year of experience in education, special education, or human services.
  • An understanding of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) and related topics.
  • Reliable transportation, a valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and a clean driving record (3+ years).

  • Enjoy a flexible, school-day schedule—perfect for work-life balance.
  • Gain hands-on experience in special education and transition services.
  • Work with a supportive, compassionate team who values your voice.
