Job description

At Brooklyn Lab, every scholar is known by name — and every team member plays a real role in making that possible. We’re looking for a detail‑oriented, mission‑driven Special Education Assistant to support our Director of Special Services and help ensure our students with IEPs and 504 plans get exactly what they’re owed.

This is a high‑impact administrative role at one of the country’s top schools for academic growth — where scholars gain two to three years of learning on average. You’ll manage compliance systems, coordinate with teachers and families, and keep our special education department running smoothly.

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s Degree preferred
• At least 2 years of experience working with Special Education populations at the K‑12 level or, at least 1‑3 years of experience providing administrative support in schools
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office (especially Excel)
• Solutions‑oriented, determined, skilled leader with a strong track record of results
• A demonstrable commitment to pursuing equity and inclusion for all students
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to interact effectively with all levels of the organization
• Exceptional strategic, analytical, and critical thinking skills

If you’re solutions‑oriented, care deeply about students with disabilities, and want to work somewhere your contributions are felt every day, we’d love to hear from you.
