Assistant Teacher Position (Part- or Full-Time)
Beginning August 2020

Makom Community is looking for Assistant Teachers to join our team. Do you…
- Want to be involved in cutting-edge urban Jewish learning for children and their families?
- See yourself as an innovator of the field of Jewish Education?
- Want to be part of a team that values your creativity and will challenge you to grow professionally and personally?
- Seek to be inspired and empowered by peers and experienced educators?
Key Duties & Responsibilities:
- Facilitate Jewish learning for children in grades PreK-5 (ages 4-12) Monday through Friday during afterschool enrichment and camp programming
- Facilitate specialty programming for afterschool children based on your specific expertise i.e. music, drama, sports, movement etc.
- Partake in regular goal setting and reflections for personal and professional growth
- Develop new skills and ways of thinking related to working with children and families
Typical Schedule:
- August camp days are Monday- Thursday from 8:30am-3:30pm
- Afterschool Enrichment, beginning in September, runs Monday to Friday 2:00pm to 6:00pm
- If students are not in public school every day, there may be additional hours beginning as early as 8am that could change this into a full-time role.
NOTE: This may vary depending on the schedule of our public school children. Preference will be given to applicants who can work multiple days a week. This could be a full-time role for the right person if our learners are on a staggered schedule, which would mean many more program hours at Makom Community.

- Ability to abide by Makom Community, CDC, and PA COVID-19 guidelines while working with children
- Strong connection to Jewish tradition
