TEACHERS / CHILDCARE PROFESSIONALS
Help us open doors and create independent and productive lives for students with autism and developmental disabilities. If you're a highly motivated person who wants to thrive in a high energy, leading-edge educational environment, you will find that NECC is a great place to build your career and professional skills. We have upcoming openings for professional teaching positions.

All of our teachers, regardless of previous experience, receive extensive training and learn to apply the principles of behavior analysis (ABA) to teach children, adolescents and young adults to acquire skills and maximize independence in the areas of academics, socialization, self-control of behavior, activities of daily living, communication and employment services. Whether working in the school, the community or the residence, all teachers are trained to competency and are expected to implement the full range of behavioral and educational programs individually designed for each student.

LEVEL I TEACHER
The entry-level 1 teacher position is a role designed for individuals with little or no previous experience working with children with special needs and is ideal for those just beginning a career in the field of human services. These teachers work primarily in the residences as they learn to provide instruction to our students in the areas of daily living skills, communication skills, social skills and community living skills.

LEVEL II TEACHERS
The entry-level 2 position is typically for individuals who have had some formal experience working with children with special needs. These teachers work both in the school and in our residences with some evening and weekend hours. While all teachers work with all the students on the team, a Level II teacher serves as a case manager for 1 student and is responsible for educational program design, IEP development and regular communication with parents.
