• Supervise small groups during trips, ensuring safe departure and return to BAMM.

• Ensure the learning environment is clean, safe and materials are available and provided to participants.

• Create a safe, bully-free environment for all participants.

• Maintain accurate student attendance records and submit them daily to Community School Director or designated record area.

• Attend mandatory staff meetings and professional development training.

• Use positive classroom management techniques and celebrate student progress and success.

• Complete other administrative tasks as required.

Job Qualifications

What You'll Bring :

• Experience working with middle school students and families in a school setting.

• High school diploma or equivalent is required, with some college education in a related field being a bonus.

• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities combined with practical decision-making and problem-solving skills.

• Bilingual in English and Spanish would be an advantage.

• Afternoon and evening availability, with some Saturdays.

• Exceptional attention to detail, particularly with administrative tasks, including proficient use of Microsoft Suite for thorough and meticulous documentation, upholding professional boundaries, and maintaining confidentiality.
