Salary Range: $18.00 To $25.00 Hourly

Children's House Support & PE Assistant

Lake Country School

At Lake Country School, everything we do exists to protect and strengthen the relationship between a Guide and a child. The Children's House Support & PE (Physical Education) Assistant role serves that relationship directly: within the Children’s House level each morning and on the field or gym floor each afternoon, this person's steady, attentive presence gives children room to become more independent and more themselves.

If you are someone who finds real satisfaction in unglamorous, repeated work done well, who can hold back rather than step in when a child is struggling with something they could do themselves, and who genuinely enjoys leading active games as much as quiet classroom support, we would love to hear from you.
