Job DescriptionJob Description

Education Specialist - Boelkins Program

What you’ll do

Working in one of our residential homes alongside our experienced care team, you’ll implement individual treatment and education plans tailored to meet the needs of boys and girls aged 10-16 in our program. You’ll mentor, join in recreational activities, provide support within a classroom setting, and create a warm, loving home for teens who need a refuge.

Compensation + Collaboration

We’re starting team members between $19-$23 per hour with a generous benefits package. You’ll join a passionate, purposeful, and collaborative team who is committed to doing what it takes to give youth a brighter future.

Let’s be honest…

We won’t sugarcoat this. Some days are going to be tough. Those in our care have been abused and neglected, have histories of mental health challenges, and some are involved in the juvenile justice system. Their trauma is real. They’re short on trust and sometimes quick to anger. They’re not used to caring adults who show up day after day.

But you will. You were built for this.

HOURS OF WORK: Monday- Friday, 7am to 3pm.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Assist clients in coming prepared and on time for school.
  • Support and encourage students to positively participate and complete all school tasks.
  • Assist students in the classroom with academic areas, in conjunction with the teacher.
  • Respond to and address student behavioral issues as they arise.
  • Consistently meet with the teacher(s) before and after school. Provide the communication link between school personnel and the program staff on a daily basis.
  • Document pertinent observations on student’s behavior and successes during school; track re-groups and suspensions.
  • Be available to assist other YTS staff in event of shortage and/or crisis.
  • Check school sheets for assignments and leave information for YTS to monitor completion.
  • Report on education issues at team meetings, providing advocacy and support.
  • May be asked to assist with development and execution of special education programs.
  • Assist with milieu coverage, as needed, including before and after school.
  • Respond to other classroom duties as designated by the teacher.
  • Monitor classroom, enabling teacher to make school contacts and/or do lesson plans (up to 3 hours per week).
  • Correct designated papers when asked.
  • Teach electives as needed and use out of school time for preparation.
  • Attends necessary team meetings for education and residential.
  • Responsible for timely Quality Assurance compliance as related to employee’s roles and functions.
  • Other duties as assigned

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Meets all qualifications as described in the Youth Treatment Specialist job description.
  • Bachelors required in one of the following disciplines: Social Work, Psychology, Guidance and Counseling, Consumer or Community Services, Criminal Justice, Family Ecology, Sociology, Human Services or Education.
  • Prior experience working with youth in a classroom setting preferred.
  • Subscription to the Statement of Faith of Wedgwood Christian Services and agreement with the goal, purpose and objectives of the agency.
