Special Education Para Professional in New Castle, DE

Step into a dynamic school environment as a floater paraprofessional, providing invaluable support across a range of educational settings. This contract opportunity offers consistent full-time hours, with guaranteed weekly minimums during regular school weeks, and the chance to contribute to multiple school sites within a collaborative educational community. Assignments will cover various elementary, middle, and high school locations, ensuring your workdays are filled with variety and meaningful interactions.

What You’ll Need:

• Active Delaware Paraeducator Permit (required at start—permit cannot be pending unless a DEEDS portal screenshot is available)
• Willingness to undergo $85 CBC fingerprinting prior to placement
• Experience or strong interest in providing paraprofessional-level academic and behavioral support to K-12 students
• Flexibility to travel and rotate among designated schools as needed
• Dependable, proactive mindset—eager to accept shifts and uphold scheduled commitments

What You’ll Do:

• Support students and teaching staff in inclusive, resource, and specialty classroom environments
• Adapt to the daily needs at various school sites as assigned (elementary, middle, or high school schedules)
• Assist with academic work, personal care, social skill development, or behavioral interventions as directed by teachers and specialists
• Ensure a safe, welcoming atmosphere for all students, reinforcing positive behaviors and classroom participation
• Effectively communicate with multiple teams and respond promptly to coverage needs

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Guaranteed 30-35 paid hours per week when school is in session—even if a full week’s assignments aren’t available, you’ll still receive pay per the outlined structure
• Set Monday through Friday schedule with consistent daytime hours
• Opportunity to gain experience in various settings and expand your skills within diverse school communities
