Job Summary – Educational Support Professional (ESP)

Ready to be the reason a student believes they can succeed?

Our Educational Support Professionals are vital members of a passionate, diverse, and resilient learning community. Working alongside licensed teachers and service providers, you'll help students learn with purpose, build confidence, and strengthen the academic, social, and behavioral skills they need to thrive.

No two days are the same. You might guide a small group, provide one-to-one support, help a student through a tough moment, or celebrate a breakthrough that felt out of reach yesterday. Educational Support Professionals help create inclusive environments where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to think critically, take positive risks, and grow.

If you are compassionate, flexible, and ready to jump in wherever students need you, you'll fit right in!

This role is also a powerful starting point for a career in education. Educational Support Professionals often go on to become licensed teachers, behavior specialists, or service providers. You'll gain experience, professional development, and daily mentorship while making a real impact now.

Join us in helping learners create responsible, innovative paths forward—one moment of support at a time.
