Special Education Paraprofessional – Deaf Blind Intervener | ISD 728 Elementary
$22.08+ per hour | 10-month schedule | Starts school year
Make a real difference in one student's world, every single day.
ISD 728 is looking for a patient, compassionate paraprofessional to work one-on-one with a deafblind elementary student. As an intervener, you'll be this student's bridge to the world around them, supporting communication, mobility, and access to everything the school day offers.
What you'll do:
- Support one student individually with communication, sensory access, and mobility
- Help deliver instruction based on the student's IEP, guided by special education teachers
- Use sign language and visual supports to connect the student to lessons and activities
- Assist with daily living needs like feeding and personal care
- Track progress and celebrate wins as part of a collaborative team
What you need:
- High school diploma or GED
- Minnesota paraprofessional requirements (Associate's degree, 60 college credits, or passing Para Pro score)
- Patience, empathy, and a positive attitude
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds
We'll train you. No intervener experience? We offer a paid six-weekend Deaf Blind Intervener training program. Sign language skills or experience with special needs students are a plus, not a requirement.
This is meaningful work with a supportive team of teachers, therapists, and staff who collaborate closely. If you're looking for a role where your care and consistency truly matter, we'd love to meet you.
Apply today and start the school year with purpose.
