Faculty Assistant, Elementary (Grades K-5)
For the 2023-24 school year
Pembroke Hill School seeks joyful, energetic individuals to serve as faculty assistants in its lower school (K-5) for the 2023-24 school year. Under the supervision of a lead teacher, the faculty assistant contributes significantly to the lower school’s educational program by teaching and providing support to students through small group instruction and one-on-one work. While the faculty assistant works primarily with the homeroom teacher, the assistant also attends select resource classes with their class or grade level to provide support and assistance.
The ideal candidate for this position will model the school’s core values of respect, compassion, scholarship and integrity in all aspects of their professional lives and demonstrate a commitment to Pembroke Hill’s mission statement - Together, cultivating the best in each, for the benefit of all.
Pembroke Hill seeks to fulfill our mission by recognizing that diversity, belonging, equity and inclusion are integral elements of school and community life. Our mission-inspired goal is together, cultivating each to be a global thinker and valuable member of the PHS community poised to acquire the academic and life skills that make a significant difference for all.
The faculty assistant position is a school year position (August-May) with a one week Thanksgiving break, two week winter break, and two week spring break. Faculty assistants are either assigned to a grade level classroom or fill a “roving” position, providing coverage where needed. First year compensation includes an annual salary of $32,500-$35,500 and an excellent benefits package, which includes a 403B retirement plan (with an employer matching contribution), health & dental insurance, sick bank, tuition remission and free lunch. There are additional ways to earn compensation through extended day, athletics coaching and summer camps. Faculty assistant duties include, but are not limited to, the following:
