Paraprofessional
About The Position
Paraprofessionals work with students in our small scale classrooms on our residential campus and at our community Education Center. They walk alongside the children in our care as they receive treatment, education and work towards goals specific to their needs. All the children in our care have experienced serious trauma. Because of that, they have some intense behavioral issues. They come to us for the therapeutic treatment plans our teams create and carry out. Paraprofessionals work in the classrooms assisting Teachers, carrying out lessons and supporting students in the education environment. They participate in a variety of outdoor activities with the kids. Basketball, volleyball, hiking, fishing and rollerblading to name a few! Other activities could include movies, games, drawing and other hobbies the kids are interested in. Paraprofessionals are role models for children and are able to meet them where they are at in their phase of treatment. They build quality relationships and set healthy boundaries using a Trauma Informed Care approach. Our team of Paraprofessionals are critical to the successful treatment process for these children.
