Job Description

Job Description

Make a meaningful difference in the lives of elementary students by supporting their educational journey in a dedicated and innovative environment. This contracted position is perfect for a compassionate Special Education Teacher who brings experience and understanding to students with behavioral needs and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Located in Mission Viejo and working within an alternative school setting, you'll be instrumental for students referred for short-term therapeutic placement.

Your role is essential for helping students who require hands-on guidance, behavioral support, and individualized educational strategies. Most students in this classroom are nonverbal and utilize AAC devices, requiring a patient, adaptive approach. You will collaborate closely with a strong staff-to-student ratio, ensuring each child receives the attention and care they need to thrive. Some students may use mechanical restraints (such as helmets or arm restraints), and comfort with toileting and hygiene assistance is necessary.

Desired Experience and Qualifications:

  • Active California Moderate to Severe Special Education Credential (required)
  • Proven ability to support children with autism and behavioral challenges
  • Experience with nonverbal students and familiarity with AAC devices
  • Comfort and discretion in assisting with toileting and hygiene needs
  • Ability to adapt and respond positively in a dynamic, compassionate school setting

Responsibilities:

  • Provide specialized instruction to elementary-aged students in a self-contained classroom
  • Develop and implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)
  • Support communication through AAC devices
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to provide effective behavioral supports
  • Ensure safety and wellbeing, including assisting with hygiene and toileting

Position Details:

  • 6.5 hours per day, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM, with a 30-minute lunch
  • Immediate start through end of the school year

If you’re committed to empowering students with unique needs and thrive in a collaborative, supportive environment, we encourage you to apply now and make a lasting impact!

Compensation for this position ranges from $35.34 to $50.34. This posting is open for 60 days after the posting date.
