Instructional Assistant - Special Education at White Mountain Middle School

Special Education Instructional Assistant – White Mountain Middle School (3 Positions)

Join Eagle Point School District 9 – Supporting Students with Heart and Purpose

Eagle Point School District 9 (EPSD9) is seeking a compassionate, flexible, and student-centered Special Education Instructional Assistant to join White Mountain Middle School. This vital classified position supports students with diverse needs, helping them access their education through personalized and structured support, teamwork, and a strong commitment to student growth.

Located in the scenic Rogue Valley of southern Oregon, EPSD9 serves the communities of Eagle Point, White City, and surrounding rural areas. With students across the district, we offer the best of both worlds—tight-knit school communities and access to bigger‑city amenities. Our schools focus on equity, inclusion, and preparing all students for success in life beyond the classroom.

The Special Education Instructional Assistant will work closely with the Special Education Teacher and classroom team to implement individualized supports and services outlined in students' IEPs. This includes providing academic, behavioral, and functional support; assisting with personal care needs; and maintaining accurate documentation and communication with the team. This role requires someone who is responsive, patient, and not afraid to roll with the unpredictable nature of special education.

Assignments are based on student need and may include working one‑on‑one, in small groups, or in inclusive classroom settings. You'll play a key role in helping students with disabilities grow academically, socially, and emotionally—sometimes with paperwork in hand and a walkie‑talkie in your pocket.

EPSD9 is searching for someone who believes all students can learn and thrive—especially with the right support. The ideal candidate will be collaborative, proactive, and confident in working with students who may require physical assistance, behavioral redirection, or personal care.

Qualified applicants will have a high school diploma or equivalent, be able to complete or already hold CPR/First Aid and CPI certifications, and have either two years of college credit, an associate's degree, or the ability to pass the district's assessment in reading, writing, and math.

A valid Oregon driver's license and reliable transportation are also required. Most importantly, this role calls for someone with a deep sense of compassion and ideally, a good sense of humor to go along with it.
