Paraeducator - Structured Learning (MHS)

Do you want to make a difference in the life of a student? Our school is seeking caring, consistent, adults to join our paraeducator team. Paraeducators work closely with teachers to provide extra support to students.

Paras working in Structured Learning (SL) classrooms will assist students who need intensive support and predictable, consistent routines throughout the school day. Many of these students are on the autism spectrum. The educational focus is on language, communication and social skills along with self-help, sensory integration and academic skills. Some form of toileting is very common for all ages. All health and safety precautions are followed.
