Educators Wanted: Job Openings for Eugene Teachers and EAs at RISE
Are you an educator in Eugene looking for your next job opportunity? RISE Services, Inc. Oregon is hiring passionate teachers, paraprofessionals, and other school staff to support children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through summer programs, after school programs, and more. If you’ve been affected by recent layoffs or simply seek meaningful and flexible work, this could be the next step in your journey.
Teachers and EAs Are a Great Fit for a Job at RISE Oregon
Educators have unique skills that align naturally with the needs of children and youth in our programs. A background in classroom management, individualized instruction, and creating supportive learning environments translates smoothly into supporting people with IDD in Opportunity Centers, at home, and in the community. Teachers and paraprofessionals already know how to build trust, adapt communication to individual needs, and foster independence.
A Need for Direct Support Professionals
At RISE Services, Inc. Oregon, we have immediate openings for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). As a DSP, you’ll support children and youth in engaging, inclusive activities, helping them develop social skills, learn new hobbies, and connect with peers.
Unlike traditional classroom settings, these positions offer a more personalized approach, with lower staff-to-participant ratios and many chances to make a direct impact. If you enjoy nurturing growth and helping others reach their potential, this could be a perfect match.
These flexible jobs are ideal for education professionals looking to supplement income or transition to a new field. Many who start with summer programs or after school roles find themselves wanting to continue as part of our year-round team.
Transition is Simple and the Rewards Are Tangible
We understand that changing fields brings questions. Many education-related background checks can transfer directly to RISE Services, Inc. Oregon, making onboarding a quick and straightforward process. At $24 per hour, our compensation package is designed to recognize your expertise and dedication.
Beyond DSP positions at our Eugene location, we offer various roles statewide to match different interests and levels of experience. Whether you want to work at an Opportunity Center, provide in-home support, or assist individuals out in the community, you’ll find a job opportunity that allows you to flourish.
