CES is a mission-driven nonprofit providing quality education to at-risk youth enrolled in CHC programs. We are hiring Special Education Teachers for youth up to age 22 to join a supportive, structured environment where educators can focus entirely on what matters - student growth. If you’re licensed in Moderate Disabilities (5-12) or are working toward certification, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for educators who are patient, adaptable, and deeply committed to making a difference. With class sizes of seven or fewer students, dedicated behavioral support staff, and a flexible curriculum, you will have real tools to make a lasting difference - without the burden of after-hours demands.

• Small class sizes - 7 students maximum, with dedicated behavioral staff support on-site.
• Strong work-life balance - little to no after-hours work, with built-in prep time every day.
• Phone-free classrooms - fewer distractions, higher engagement for all.
• Professional development - hands-on training, clear licensure pathways, and in-house advancement support.
• MTRS-eligible positions - qualifying roles for the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System.
• Optional summer program - additional paid opportunity available, fully optional.

• Licensed in Moderate Disabilities (5-12) or actively working toward certification experience, or strong interest in supporting at-risk youth in alternative settings.
• Patient, adaptable, and trauma-informed approach to instruction.
• Collaborative mindset - comfortable working alongside behavioral and clinical staff.
• Commitment to equitable, student-centered education.
• CES is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds, experiences, and identities to apply.

• Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited College or University.
