We're seeking a compassionate, adaptable Special Populations Support Specialist to support students Pre-K through 8th grade with diverse learning, behavioral, communication, and mobility needs.
In this role, you'll partner with special education teachers, classroom teachers, therapists, and school leaders to help students access instruction, build independence, and participate fully in the school day. While you won't serve as the teacher of record or case manager, you'll play an essential role in implementing students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and ensuring they receive the individualized support they need to succeed.
This position serves multiple schools throughout the district, providing support wherever student needs are greatest. If you enjoy variety, collaboration, and meaningful work, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact every day.
You'll work with students across Pre-K through 8th grade in inclusive classrooms, resource settings, and specialized learning environments.
Students have a wide range of educational, developmental, behavioral, communication, and mobility needs. Every assignment is unique, giving you the opportunity to build meaningful relationships while supporting students at different ages and stages of development.
When you join this opportunity through Thrive Education Partners, you'll have a dedicated partner throughout the hiring process and beyond.
We'll help you learn about the district, prepare for interviews, and support your transition into the role. Once you're hired, we'll continue working alongside district leadership to ensure you have the resources, communication, and encouragement needed to be successful.
Throughout your first year, we'll check in regularly, celebrate milestones, help navigate challenges, and remain a trusted resource as you grow in your role. Our goal is not simply to help you find your next position—it's to help you thrive in it.
Some of the most meaningful moments in education happen outside the spotlight—a student communicating a need, mastering a new skill, building confidence, or taking an important step toward greater independence.
As a Special Populations Support Specialist, you'll help create those moments every day. Your flexibility, compassion, and commitment will directly impact students while helping schools provide exceptional support to every learner.
Thrive Education Partners connects exceptional educators with schools and families seeking thoughtful, student-centered professionals.
We believe great education is deeply relational. Our mission is to connect outstanding educators with meaningful opportunities where they can make a lasting impact while feeling supported every step of the way.
