Lethbridge School Division embraces a philosophy/belief of inclusion for all students. Consequently, the successful candidate must have a willingness to provide personal care, lifting, and toileting support for students, with appropriate assistance and/or training provided as needed. The successful candidate may also be required to participate in community activities such as swimming and skating. Educational Assistants may also be working with students with limited experience within formal school settings and may support students with English as an additional language.

A strong understanding of Trauma Informed practice, resiliency, building connections, self-regulation supports and strategies, and conflict resolution skills is an asset. In addition, willingness to participate in ongoing professional learning is expected as our Division promotes a learner mindset for staff and students.

The successful candidate will be able to create rapport with all students and staff and adapt to dynamic learning environments. Being self-directed, flexible and finding creative ways to connect with and regulate students are considered to be important skills of the successful candidate. Additionally, the successful candidate must have strong communication skills and show initiative in solving problems and creating opportunities for student success.
