Tl'etinqox School is a rural, First Nations-operated school dedicated to fostering an environment where cultural identity, language, and academic growth go hand-in-hand. We see our students through a holistic lens—nurturing their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Living and working in a rural, remote area means you will be part of a tight-knit community where relationship-building extends beyond the classroom walls. If you have a passion for land-based learning, deep respect for Indigenous worldviews, and a desire to make a lasting impact on youth, we want to welcome you to our team.
Working under the guidance of the Classroom Teacher and Learning Assistance Team, the Education Assistant (EA) will provide academic, social-emotional, and cultural support to students with diverse learning needs. This role is highly relational; you will work one-on-one or in small groups to help students build confidence, independence, and life skills while ensuring they feel safe, valued, and understood.
Please submit your resume, a brief cover letter explaining why you want to work in a rural First Nations community:
