Join Our Team at THRIVE Academy!

Do you believe that strong relationships, patience, and consistency can change a student's life? Are you looking for a role where your presence, encouragement, and care truly matter every single day? If so, THRIVE Academy is the place for you.

THRIVE Academy is a Trauma-Informed, Therapeutic school serving students in grades K–12 from 27+ partner districts across Iowa. As part of the Manson Northwest Webster Community School District, THRIVE provides an alternative educational setting for students with social-emotional, behavioral, mental health, and academic needs.

We pride ourselves on small class sizes, high staff-to-student ratios, and a team-based approach, ensuring that every student-and every staff member-receives the support they need to succeed.

At THRIVE, you won't just be assisting in a classroom-you'll be helping students build confidence, resilience, and the skills they need for life beyond school.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Classroom Associate / Paraeducator to support students and teachers within our therapeutic classroom environments. This role is essential to creating a safe, structured, and supportive learning space where students can grow academically and emotionally.

You'll work closely with teachers, student support staff, and administrators to meet students where they are-offering encouragement, guidance, and stability throughout the school day.

What You'll Do

Support K–12 students with academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs.
Assist students with study skills, organization, and classroom routines.
Help de-escalate emotional situations and reinforce appropriate social skills.
Provide accommodations and instructional modifications as directed by teachers.
Assist teachers with daily classroom responsibilities and student supervision.
Maintain accurate documentation related to student progress and support needs.
Model positive behavior, calm responses, and trauma-informed practices.
Collaborate as part of a team-based, student-centered environment.

What We're Looking For

A patient, flexible, and compassionate approach to working with students.
Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
Ability to remain calm, supportive, and consistent during challenging moments.
Willingness to learn and implement trauma-informed and restorative practices.
A team player who believes in student growth, dignity, and potential.

Qualifications

Required: High School Diploma or GED
Preferred: Paraeducator Certification and/or Substitute Authorization
- Or willingness to obtain certification

Why THRIVE?

A supportive team culture where staff lift each other up.
Small class sizes (max 10 students) with dedicated para support.
Meaningful impact-help students build the skills they need for life.
Ongoing professional growth in trauma-informed, therapeutic practices.
A workplace that values relationships, empathy, and resilience as much as academics.

At THRIVE Academy, your work matters every single day. Join us in creating a place where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed-not just in school, but in life.

Apply today and be part of something extraordinary at THRIVE Academy!
