Job description

Job type: Full-time, salaried, benefited

Uinta Academy is a leading multi-dimensional residential treatment center for adolescent females. We specialize in students who struggle with relationships or attachment issues and/or who have experienced trauma.

Uinta Academy is a clinically intense treatment program that is balanced by a warm, nurturing, family-style environment. Located in Cache Valley, Utah, we serve teens whose parents have placed them voluntarily in our care; our students are not adjudicated. The average length of stay for our students is 8 to 12 months, so our teachers have the rewarding experience of seeing our students make significant progress in school.

Our academic program is fully accredited by Cognia for the state of Utah. Although we are accredited, our academic department has a small faculty and our program is individualized, so teacher input about our students and their academic needs is highly valued.

Due to the therapeutic nature of our program, our schoolteachers are not alone in the classroom; up to four program staff are present in each classroom, depending on the number of students and their therapeutic needs.

· The position is full-time, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (average hours, subject to minor changes) with occasional extra-curricular participation required.

· Approximately 66% of the time is in-classroom teaching, usually on an individualized basis.

· About 34% of the time involves grading and curriculum development.

Qualifications:

We are currently seeking a licensed, secondary ed. science or math teacher. First-year teachers are encouraged to apply. Due to the varying nature of our students’ abilities, applicants should feel confident teaching science concepts across a variety of subject matter and age levels. Experience with the online education system CANVAS is preferred, but it is not required.

Requirements:

· A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and a current secondary teaching license with a science OR math area endorsement are required. (Any science area is acceptable, but the license must be secondary ed.)

Benefits include PTO, medical, dental, vision insurance, and 401K options. Salary is $50,000 - $60,000 DOE
