Applicants will be eligible for Early Childhood Social Work roles (Kindergarten, 1st Grade) and Elementary School Social Work roles (2nd Grade to 4th Grade). Social Workers at The Equity Project (TEP) Charter School serve as the primary leaders of mental health services for TEP students and families, design and implement (proactive and preventative) Social Work programs that promote social and emotional health, and respond to day-to-day student issues and unanticipated crises. Each Social Worker at TEP focuses their efforts on the students, families, and teachers of one specific cohort. In this role, you will serve as the Social Worker for one TEP cohort, then move up with this cohort of students throughout their time at TEP until they graduate 4th grade. This is an opportunity for an experienced and creative social work clinician who thrives in an autonomous environment, is passionate about social justice and child/family work, and is seeking to form long-lasting relationships with students and families as they navigate from Kindergarten through adolescence. Early Childhood Social Workers
will work in vibrant spaces that reflect the learning and development in Kindergarten and 1st grade. They will support students in developing foundational emotional and social skills within classrooms, as well as private and collaborative Social Work office spaces. Elementary School Social Workers
