For 50 years, Villa Maria School has believed in the extraordinary capabilities of every student. Our small, thoughtfully designed classes ensure that each student receives the individualized attention they need to succeed. With a team of dedicated and skilled teachers, we create an inclusive and supportive environment where our students, who have diagnoses that include language-based learning disorders, auditory processing disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, ASD, and ADHD, realize their potential by developing meaningful relationships and engaging in lifelong learning through skill development.

We are seeking an energetic, passionate, confident, and skilled worker to join our mental health team. Candidates should have a Masters degree in psychology, social work or counseling.

This role requires great flexibility. You will work one-on-one and in groups, teaching and mentoring, organizing and planning, guiding and motivating.

Join us in our mission to positively impact the lives of children and support the success of our students academically, socially, and emotionally.
