Job Type Contract

Step into a rewarding contract opportunity supporting students with visual impairments for the upcoming school year. This position offers a unique hybrid environment—providing vital direct services on-site several days a week while also allowing flexible virtual instruction for the remainder of your hours. Based out of the district’s main office, you’ll collaborate with a team committed to making a meaningful impact across up to 13 schools in the area.

Key Qualifications:

  • Hold a valid Florida Professional Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) license
  • Possess Orientation and Mobility Specialist (OMS) certification
  • Experience with student screenings and assessments, including a strong background in educational testing
  • Comfortable serving K-12 students in both direct and consultative capacities
  • School-based experience strongly preferred but not required

What You’ll Do:

  • Deliver direct instruction and adapted learning to visually impaired students (approximately 15–20 students on your caseload)
  • Provide monthly consultative services to students, teachers, and families
  • Travel between up to 13 school campuses (2–3 per day), with the main office as your home base
  • Develop individualized schedules in collaboration with district staff to best support students’ needs and optimize your commute
  • Conduct vision screenings and assessments to determine appropriate services and supports
  • Maintain compliance with district onboarding and reporting procedures

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Flexible hybrid model combining on-site and virtual service delivery
  • Opportunity to work with a diverse K–12 population and make a district-wide impact
  • Supportive onboarding and credentialing with streamlined district processes
  • Full-time schedule, Monday–Friday, with a dedicated workday from 8:00am to 3:30pm
  • Travel role highly recommended for professionals seeking variety and challenge in their assignments

Your skills are needed in an area and discipline where you can truly make a difference. Engage in meaningful work this school year—apply today to shape the future for students with visual impairments!
