  • Prior experience working in schools and/or urban communities is preferred but not required;
  • Relentless commitment to mission of educating urban students. Belief in and alignment with Uncommon's core beliefs and educational philosophy is non-negotiable.

Benefits:

  • Generous paid time off inclusive of sick time and school breaks (spring, winter, and summer) + additional sustainability half days throughout the school year
  • Extensive, best-in-class training and development
  • Choice of 3 comprehensive health insurance plans
  • Pre-tax flexible spending and health saving accounts
