Instructional Aide Substitute opportunities offer a rewarding way to support students in school environments, making a difference through one-on-one and small group assistance. As an integral part of the educational team, you will work per diem—providing coverage during absences and peak needs, with the flexibility to choose assignments that fit your schedule.
In this role, you’ll support students academically, behaviorally, and socially in classroom settings. Your primary responsibilities include:
- Providing dedicated 1:1 or small-group support guided by teachers and staff
- Assisting with daily classroom routines, transitions, and active participation
- Implementing behavior support strategies and following IEPs as required
- Supporting students’ mobility, supervision, and personal care needs
- Maintaining a safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment
To be eligible, you’ll need to meet these school compliance requirements:
- High school diploma or GED
- Minimum age of 18
- Ability to complete a TB test (per district requirements)
- Capacity to stand, walk, and assist with lifting when necessary
- Up-to-date clearances or willingness to obtain them prior to starting
Preferred experience includes time spent in schools, special education, behavioral health, or childcare. Familiarity with supporting students with special needs, autism, or behavioral challenges is especially valuable. Experience with CPI, PMT, or RBT is a plus, but not required. A patient, reliable, and collaborative approach is essential.
Enjoy weekly pay and the freedom to choose flexible assignments that work for you. Access immediate support through an in-app chat and discover opportunities for growth within school-based settings. Help shape student experiences and contribute to positive outcomes in California’s public schools.
