We’re seeking Instructional Paraprofessionals to join our team and Make a Difference!
The Phoenix Center’s purpose is to provide a well-integrated, educational and therapeutic program focusing on the development of the whole child and their family. Our team is made up of highly motivated and goal-oriented individuals who work together towards this common goal.
Our staff creates customized and individualized programs for our students and the reason The Phoenix Center exists is to care for, educate and empower our students so that they may develop skills which will maximize their adaptation to adulthood. To that end, we regularly look for engaging, energetic, dynamic and skilled people to join our team!
As the Instructional Paraprofessional, you will assist the Special Education Teacher with the planning, implementation, and evaluation of individualized skill acquisition and behavior treatment programs.
In this role, you will also participate in the facilitation of educational programs with the students, both in and out of the school building, and assure student safety at all times.

This philosophy focuses on four principles – choose your attitude, make someone’s day, be present and play. Strengthening trust, teamwork and engagement is so important in building staff culture. Practicing this philosophy helps TPC foster a work environment in which everyone chooses to bring energy, passion and a positive attitude to work. As a result, 38% of staff have been with us for 10+ years.
