Full Job Description

Overview

Creative Academy is seeking a dependable, confident, and experienced Assistant Director to join our leadership team in Countryside, IL.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone we can trust to confidently help lead the center and maintain Creative Academy's standards when the Director is away.

Pay: $21.00 - $23.00 per hour
