Who Thrives at Bush

You find joy in working with students and alongside a passionate, thoughtful community of educators. You believe deeply that learning is most powerful when it is experiential, and when students learn by doing, exploring, and reflecting, rather than simply being told what to know and remember. You are invested in the growth of children as whole people, supporting their curiosity, sense of purpose, and capacity to contribute meaningfully to their communities, both within and beyond the classroom.

You are a lifelong learner who welcomes both support and challenge, and you are excited by the opportunity to continue developing your craft in a collegial, reflective environment. You are energized by contributing your skills and ideas, making a meaningful impact, and being part of something larger than yourself.

Who We Are

Founded in 1924 and located in Seattle’s Madison Valley neighborhood, The Bush School is an independent school serving students from Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade. Bush offers a rich, intellectually engaging program grounded in experiential learning, designed to spark in students of diverse backgrounds and talents a passion for learning, accomplishment, and contribution to their communities. Our curriculum challenges students to think deeply and creatively, preparing them to thrive in future endeavors while remaining rooted in the school’s longstanding core values.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community in which every individual can say, “I belong.” We seek educators and staff who are passionate about their work, highly skilled in their practice, and who bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences to our community. We believe deeply in the role education and diverse learning environments play in advancing equity, inclusion, and a shared sense of responsibility for one another.

Summary of Position

The Community, Equity, and Inclusion Coordinator (CEI) is a hands‑on implementer who drives execution of the school’s purpose‑driven programming and other CEI‑aligned community initiatives across K–12. This role turns ideas into plans, plans into logistics, and logistics into experiences that run smoothly and feel thoughtful. Working closely with the Director of CEI, the Coordinator manages timelines, details, communications, and follow‑through—so affinity spaces are strengthened year over year and heritage month programming is consistent and well‑supported, and CEI priorities move from planning to sustained, school wide practice.

While other duties may be assigned, a qualified candidate will be able to manage the position’s key responsibilities listed below, with an emphasis on implementation and community practice.

• Own the operational backbone of affinity and alliance spaces: annual calendar, meeting schedules, room requests, supplies, budgets, and shared planning templates.

• Build repeatable systems that make affinity spaces easier to lead (planning timeline, facilitation supports, leader checklists, communications rhythms, simple debrief tools).

• Provide direct planning support to student and adult affinity leaders: help shape ideas into realistic plans, track tasks, and ensure follow‑through.

• Coordinate adult support structures for affinity spaces (advisor onboarding, consistent expectations, and practical guidance for navigating sensitive moments with discretion and care).

• Maintain lightweight tracking on participation and needs so the Director has visibility into what’s working, where groups need support, and what’s emerging.

• Run point on planning and logistics for heritage months and community observances across K–12, in collaboration with CEI Coordinators, students, affinity groups, and divisional partners.

• Develop and manage an annual observances plan that includes key dates, programming arcs, communications…
