Job description

SCHOOL YEAR 2025-2026

The Mary Francis Bachmann School

What if we approached learning and teaching differently? What if school years didn’t feel like an exhausting sprint to the finish but rather a refreshing walk where the journey is as important as the destination?

At the CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health, we’re reimagining what education looks and feels like from the student, the family and the teacher’s perspective. Now is the time to consider joining our team and dream along with us. We’re looking for talented, creative, energetic and imaginative educators to travel with us on our journey of discovery and invention for the 2025 -2026 School Year!

If you believe there’s more to education than standardized test scores;

if you believe that as educators we’re called to care for and nurture the minds, bodies and spirits of the students in our care;

if you believe education has the ability to unleash the inner power in all of us (especially children), a role at the Mary Francis Bachmann School may be a perfect fit for you.

Currently CHI St. Joseph Children’s Health is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Elementary (Lower) School Teacher at the Mary Francis Bachmann School for the 2025 -2026 School Year.

These unique teaching opportunities will join the faculty officially opening the Mary Francis Bachmann School with the start of the 25-26 school year at our location in Manheim Township, Lancaster County. The positions are fulltime, year-round roles with goal start dates in August 2025.
