About the Role
Social Workers at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School serve as the primary leaders of mental health services for TEP students and families, design and implement (proactive and preventative) Social Work programs that promote social and emotional health, and respond to day-to-day student issues and unanticipated crises. Each Social Worker at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School focuses their efforts on the students, families, and teachers of one specific cohort.
In this role, you will serve as the Social Worker for one TEP cohort, then will move up with this cohort of students throughout their time at TEP until they graduate 8th grade This is an amazing opportunity for an experienced and creative social work clinician who thrives in an autonomous environment, is passionate about social justice and child/family work, and is seeking to form long-lasting relationships with students and families as they navigate the road from 5th grade through adolescence.
Middle School Social Workers will work in a state-of-the-art learning environment carefully designed, built, and crafted to spark joy and instill a love of learning for TEP students.
