Behavioral Aide, PreK–2

• Be One Child's Steady Person: 1:1
• Behavioral Aide, K–2
• The Schoolhouse | South Burlington, VT | Full-time, In person | $23–$28 per hour

• The job in a nutshell
• One of our K–2 students needs a dedicated adult at their side all day, and we'd love that adult to
• be you. You'll help this child feel secure, get through the hard moments, and take on a little more
• on their own each week. You'll work from a plan built with the teacher, specialists, and family, so
• you won't be figuring it out alone.

• What your days look like:
• ● Follow the student's behavior and learning plan, and tell the team what's working and
• what isn't.
• ● Coach calming, communication, and coping skills in the moment, wherever they come
• up: classroom, playground, lunch line, hallway.
• ● Step back as soon as the student is ready, so they get the credit for doing it themselves.
• ● Help with personal care and physical needs when the student requires it.
• ● Check in often with the teacher and family so everyone is working from the same page.
• ● Be there for lunch, recess, and transitions, alongside the student's classmates.

• Who we hope to meet:
• ● You stay calm when things get loud, and you're still warm on a hard day.
• ● You like young kids and can be playful, firm, and fair, sometimes all in one minute.
• ● You're curious about new strategies and happy to be coached.
• ● You can handle the physical side of the work, including lifting when a student needs
• support.
• ● You see families as partners.
• ● Experience with behavior support, special education, or early education is great. Good
• judgment and a good heart matter more.
