Job description

At LearnWell, we are committed to changing the lives of the 10 million students in the U.S. who are dealing with behavioral health issues. For more than 26 years, we have provided on-site educational services in hospitals, helping these school‑age patients continue their education during treatment and reintegrate successfully into the classroom. With a network of over 200 educators, we strive to make a positive impact for generations to come.

Currently, we are seeking a passionate and creative teacher to join our teams in Western, MA and throughout the New England area, providing coverage as needed for the school year in Springfield, Holyoke, and the Bay State area. This unique position will involve floating between fast‑paced behavioral health facilities, providing coverage as needed for our teams.

Our teachers provide academic support to child and adolescent school‑age patients in a small classroom setting as they receive treatment. In this role, you will deliver daily lesson plans, provide individualized assistance to students, and regularly communicate about student progress as needed. Additionally, you will monitor and adjust teaching strategies to ensure student success and maintain accurate attendance and session reports. Most of our class sizes range from 8 to 15 school‑age patients at any one time.

Position entails a 40‑hour a week commitment, Monday‑Friday. We offer a very generous package of paid time off including vacation time, sick time, federal holidays, and paid school breaks. We also provide healthcare benefits that include medical, dental, and vision. Additional benefits include paid family leave options, 401(k), employer‑sponsored life insurance policies, and annual grants for tuition reimbursement.
