Full Job Description

Special Education Teacher

Location: Arvada, CO | Schedule: Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

We know the work is hard. That’s why we make the "everything else" easy.

Working with students who present complex, high-magnitude challenging behavior is some of the most rewarding work in our field—but we also recognize it is some of the most taxing. We believe you shouldn't have to carry that weight alone. At Evoke Behavioral Health, we don’t pretend teacher fatigue doesn't exist. Instead, we’ve built a system specifically designed to help you recharge, stay regulated, and focus on what you love: excellent educational work.

Current Special Education Teacher Openings:

EI / Primary / Secondary / Transition Programs: Serving students ages 5 - 21.

How We Support Your "Recharge"

Generous Time Off:

Four Weeks of Paid Center Closures: We shut down for Spring Break, Summer Break, Thanksgiving, and Winter Break (2 weeks) so our whole team can disconnect at once.

Additional Flexibility: Beyond center closures, you’ll receive your own personal PTO and Sick Time, plus paid standard holidays.

Zero Billable Quotas: This role is designed to prioritize instructional quality, regulatory compliance, and team support. Your focus is on oversight, coaching, and program integrity - not billable targets or productivity metrics.
Strategic Caseload Oversight (5 - 8 Students): You will develop and implement individualized IEPs for students, focusing on their unique needs.
The "Clean Break" Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8-4. No nights, no weekends, and no travel. When you leave at the end of the day, your time is truly yours.
Full Administrative Support: Our in-house admin, HR, intake, maintenance, and scheduling teams handle the logistics, so you don't have to manage paperwork on top of your educational duties.
Collaborative Safety: You are never on an island. You’ll work alongside highly trained Behavior Technicians, Mental Health Clinicians, Special Education BCBA's, a Registered Nurse, and a robust support staff in a facility designed for safety and fun.
Flexibility: Opportunities to work from home for IEP oversight, compliance documentation, and instructional planning responsibilities.
Professional Development: Dedicated funds for professional development and re-certification—we want you to stay at the cutting edge.
Elite Facility: Work in our 48,000 sq. ft. licensed facility featuring a full gym, sensory room, cafeteria, two playgrounds, and expansive outdoor spaces.
Comprehensive Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401(k) with match, and HSA options.

Who You Are: An Instructional Leader

You are a high-capacity Special Education leader who thrives in complex, dynamic environments. You bring professionalism, systems thinking, and instructional expertise to support Academics and ensure students receive high-quality, compliant services. We are looking for:

A Strategic Instructional Mind: You enjoy analyzing student data, strengthening IEP implementation, and identifying opportunities to improve systems. You can pivot supports with clarity and precision when student needs or compliance demands shift.
High-Level Professionalism: You lead by example. Whether collaborating with BCBAs and Mental Health providers, coaching Educational Asisstants, or communicating with families and districts, you hold yourself and your team to high ethical, instructional, and compliance standards.
Leadership Presence: You have the composure and resilience required to supervise teams and navigate challenging conversations. You are a steady, solutions-oriented presence who builds trust while maintaining accountability.
Motivation and Drive: You are motivated by student progress, staff development, and strong program systems. You are driven by high standards for instructional quality, documentation accuracy, and team growth.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education, Educational Leadership, or a related field. Master's preferred.
Teaching license preferred.
Current Special Education teaching certification (or ability to obtain certification in Colorado).
1+ years of related special education teaching experience.
ABA/severe behavior experience preferred.
Experience with center-based special education setting (either classroom or center).
A desire to work within a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary team.
Current CPR and First Aid certification.
Ability to pass local, state, and federal background checks.
TB test and occupational physical (covered by The Company).
Ability to reliably commute to our Arvada facility.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Physical ability to run, kneel, pivot, lift 40 lbs, and transition between seated, kneeling, and standing repeatedly.We're excited for you to join us on our mission of: Improving the lives of underserved people and those who care for them, for a more caring and inclusive Colorado.

About Us:

Evoke Behavioral Health is a licensed Day Treatment Program providing year-round specialized educational and therapeutic services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and co-occurring diagnoses. In 2025, we opened the doors to our newly renovated, state-of-the-art facility in Arvada, CO, complete with two outdoor playgrounds, a full gym, and an advanced sensory room—all designed to enhance client care and staff experience. Evoke Behavioral Health is a locally owned organization.

We have expanded our services to include children from Pre-K through 12th grade (previously ages 8-18) and are currently hiring a Special Education Teacher to support our Academic team in our new growth. This is a center-based position and offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a collaborative, interdisciplinary team.

Our interdisciplinary team includes BCBAs, LCSWs, Special Education Teachers, RBTs, Educational Assistants, Mental Health Assistants, and a large number of graduate students working across our departments. In addition to our comprehensive clinical team, we have on-site administrative, human resources, and maintenance support to ensure a safe and effective work environment.

Position Overview:
We are seeking a skilled and collaborative Special Education Teacher to support special education services within our center-based program serving students ages 5–21 with complex academic and behavioral needs. This role is critical to ensuring high-quality instruction, IEP compliance, and strong team development in a structured and supportive environment.

The Special Education Teacher will collaborate closely with the SPED Coordinator, SPED Director, BCBAs, Mental Health providers, speech/language pathologists, and educational staff to oversee IEP implementation, support instructional practices, ensure documentation accuracy, and strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration across programs.
