CAREERS

NeuroCatalyst Academy is seeking a passionate and dedicated Teacher’s Assistant to join our Discover & Grow Summer Camp team. This four-day camp, running from June 30 to July 3, 2025, at Harris Elementary in Mesa, AZ, is designed specifically for neurodivergent children, especially those with ADHD and autism, with a strong focus on cultural inclusivity for Black and Brown youth. The Teacher’s Assistant will work alongside the lead teacher to support hands-on learning activities, sensory play, social skills development, and creative exploration. This role requires a positive, patient, and adaptable attitude, as you will be helping children navigate daily transitions, build friendships, and stay engaged in a safe and affirming space.

The position pays $15 per hour for 16 total hours ($240 for the week), with required availability each day from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Applicants must have an active and valid Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card and be fully available for all four camp days, with no schedule conflicts or planned absences. Prior experience working with children is preferred, especially in neurodivergent or disability-inclusive settings, and applicants should be committed to supporting a culturally responsive, anti-bias environment. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential, as is the ability to assist with both activity facilitation and behind-the-scenes tasks like setup, cleanup, and supervision.

Candidates will also be asked whether they have been convicted of a crime or investigated for child abuse, assault, or neglect as part of the screening process. This is a meaningful opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of neurodivergent children while gaining valuable experience in a fun, inclusive summer camp setting.
