Teacher's Aide

Description

Do you want rewarding work focused on providing a fun, safe, and positive social-emotional experience for students before and after school? Work alongside other passionate individuals to support and enrich the lives of our school age students.

A Teacher's Aide will work in the program under the guidance and instruction of teachers. Responsibilities include assisting lead staff in maintaining a safe and developmentally appropriate classroom environment, implementing a fun and engaging curriculum, and fostering positive relationships with children, parents, and the school community. Work is primarily performed at YMCA Before and After School programs in Portland. At times, staff may be asked to travel outside of Portland to fill in at other childcare sites within the YMCA Columbia-Willamette Association.

There may be times when staff are asked to attend company events outside of their regular schedule. Staff will be notified ahead of time if and when this happens.
