Masters Academy International

Masters Academy International (MAI) is New England’s only school that intentionally integrates pro-level coaching and top-tier academics to prepare future leaders, excelling in sport, scholarship, and life. At MAI, athletics are not an extracurricular add-on; they are a core pillar of student identity and future opportunity.

Our student athletes pursue ambitious goals and train with purpose. The athletic program at MAI is designed to develop exceptional competitors while also cultivating the character, habits, and mindset required for long-term success. We believe in doing things the right way: with excellence, integrity, and care for the whole student.

You are an exceptional communicator who can speak with credibility and confidence across a wide range of stakeholders—from anxious parents and dormitory staff to local emergency services.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Nursing or related field preferred.
• Experience: Previous experience in school nursing, pediatrics, or adolescent healthcare strongly preferred.
• Credentials: Registered Nurse (RN) license in the state of Massachusetts (or eligibility for licensure).
• Expertise: Demonstrated success in clinical assessment and decision-making
• Knowledge: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; Ability to respond calmly in emergency situations; Strong organizational and record-keeping abilities; Compassionate approach when working with adolescents from diverse backgrounds.

Compensation And Benefits

The salary for this role is $70,000. Benefits for eligible roles include medical, life insurance, a 401(k) savings plan, and more.

Please note that the schedule for this role is Monday through Friday will be 10:30am-6:30pm.

Additional benefits include Faculty and Staff tuition discount for any student(s) enrolled at MAI (up to 50% discount and financial aid consideration); you will also have access to Perkbox, an awesome discount platform!
