What are the responsibilities and job description for the Student Support Specialist, Unbound Academy - $40,000/year USD position at Crossover?
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a hybrid role requiring on-site presence in Arizona.
Imagine a role where your focus is keeping students motivated, engaged, and eager to participate—free from lesson planning, grading, or academic instruction.
This position is built for individuals who connect naturally with young people and excel in dynamic environments. At Unbound Academy's tuition-free virtual charter school, students advance through their academic work efficiently using AI-powered tools, then transition into live, interactive workshops that emphasize collaboration, life skills, and personal growth. Your responsibility is to ensure these moments are seamless and meaningful for every student.
You'll serve as the vital link that holds the experience together. You'll coordinate transitions, facilitate small group activities, maintain high energy levels, and provide support when students need direction or reassurance. Content delivery isn't your role—but the student experience depends on your presence.
If you have experience guiding young people through camps, after-school initiatives, athletics, tutoring sessions, or youth programs—and you're drawn to a hybrid position that combines virtual engagement with in-person teamwork—this is an opportunity to make school feel personal and connected again.
What You Will Be Doing
Facilitate dynamic, virtual learning environments by keeping students engaged, well-organized, and enthusiastic during every workshop session.
Basic Requirements
Unbound Academy is Arizona’s first virtual, tuition-free charter school, designed to make grades 4-8 limitless, personal, and exciting. This isn’t just an alternative to the traditional school system. It’s a revolutionary way for your family to reclaim time, unlock potential, and reimagine what education can be.
At Unbound Academy, students can master their core academics in just two hours a day. Our teachers use an AI-powered learning model to adjust to each child’s pace and interests, ensuring progress happens twice as fast as in a typical classroom.
By cutting out the fluff and streamlining coursework, we not only make a significant academic impact—we make learning fun, personal, and incredibly effective.
