    Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of students with diverse learning needs? Amergis Educational Staffing is teaming up with schools across Bristol County to offer a unique pathway for individuals with a bachelor’s degree and classroom experience to step into a teaching role under a waiver—an ideal opportunity for those working toward licensure in special education.

    What You’ll Do:

    As a Special Education Teaching Associate, you’ll play a vital role in supporting students with individualized learning plans. You’ll lead instruction, implement behavior strategies, and collaborate with educators to foster inclusive and engaging classroom environments.

    Your responsibilities will include:

    + Providing instruction in one-on-one, small group, and whole-class settings

    + Developing and executing IEP goals

    + Leading and mentoring paraprofessionals

    + Tracking and documenting student progress and behavior

    + Supporting daily classroom routines and transitions

    + Partnering with teachers and specialists to meet student needs

    Who You Are:

    + Experienced in working with students facing emotional, behavioral, or learning challenges

    + Proficient in behavior management and de-escalation techniques

    + Comfortable writing IEP goals and monitoring progress

    + Calm, adaptable, and collaborative

    + Dedicated to inclusive education and student success

    Qualifications:

    + Bachelor’s Degree (required)

    + High School Diploma or equivalent (minimum requirement)

    + CPR certification, TB test, and health clearance (as applicable)

    + Must meet all federal, state, and local employment requirements

    Why This Role Stands Out:

    + Step into a teaching role with mentorship and support

    + Make a meaningful impact in students’ lives every day

    + Enjoy a consistent weekday schedule

    + Grow professionally in a nurturing school environment
