Support Teacher

Primrose School • Chelmsford, MA

34d • $19 - $21 • Onsite

About The Position

If you are looking for a dynamic school role where no two days are exactly the same, this could be a great fit. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with children, values teamwork, and wants to be an essential part of the daily life of the school. At Primrose, this is not a traditional assistant role with a classroom hierarchy. This is a school-based support teaching position that moves where needed, helps classrooms stay strong, and provides reliable coverage across the building. Over time, this role may become more consistently connected to one classroom based on school needs and fit. How this role works As a Support Teacher, you will work across multiple classrooms as needed during the school day. You may help with transitions, classroom coverage, daily routines, child supervision, and maintaining a calm, organized environment for children and faculty. This role is important to the consistency and stability of the entire school. This role is a strong fit for someone who is flexible, dependable, and comfortable working with a variety of age groups, teaching teams, and classroom needs. It is also a strong entry point for someone who wants hands-on experience in early childhood education while developing broad school-based experience. If you are someone who likes variety, works well with others, and wants a role where your presence makes a real difference every day, we would love to talk with you. Primrose School is an equal opportunity employer. All are welcome and celebrated here. 401(k) results vary based on market conditions, participation, and other factors. Please consult a financial advisor.
