Make a Real Difference in a Student's Life

Flint Public Schools is hiring Paraprofessionals to work directly alongside teachers, supporting students who need extra encouragement, structure, and belief in what they can achieve. If you're looking for work that actually matters where you can watch a student grow in real time and know you played a part in it - this is that role.

You'll be a steady, familiar presence in the classroom: someone students can count on, and someone teachers can lean on. It's hands-on, relationship-driven work with a direct line to impact - no guessing whether what you do matters.

What You'll Do

• Work directly with classroom teachers to support instruction for individuals and small groups
• Help implement lesson plans, learning activities, and behavior support strategies
• Provide one-on-one support to students with diverse learning needs, including IEP-supported students
• Monitor and document student progress, and communicate observations to the classroom teacher
• Assist with classroom management, transitions, and day-to-day operations
• Foster a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment for every student

What You'll Need

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree (60+ college credits, official transcripts required per school-district guidelines) or a valid Michigan Paraprofessional Certification
• A genuine passion for working with children and supporting their academic and social-emotional growth
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• School-based or classroom experience preferred, but not required
• Patience, reliability, and a team-first mindset

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Competitive hourly pay, with additional health & wellness stipends
• 401(k) retirement savings plan
• Access to free CEUs, approved webinars, and professional development resources
• Referral bonuses for bringing great people onto the team
• Responsive, supportive clinical and school leadership
• A genuine opportunity to make a measurable difference in students' lives every day

About the Role
