Behavioral Aide, K–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. Why the Schoolhouse The Schoolhouse is a progressive independent school with a focus on nature-based education and innovative learning. Children spend real time outdoors, and teachers are encouraged to try new ideas.

You'll be treated as a real member of the team, with regular check-ins and room to grow. Pay and perks ● Pay: $23–$28 per hour ● Generous paid time off ● Free telehealth ● Dental and vision coverage ● Retirement plan and professional development
