MyJOB Program Instructor

Green Hill School — Chehalis, WA

Reports to: Kendra Jones, Program Manager

Schedule: Monday & Tuesday, 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM (~20 hours/week)

The MyJOB Instructor delivers Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) directly to young people inside Green Hill School. You’ll teach three one-hour group classes on Mondays and three on Tuesdays, plus individual sessions with students throughout the day.

This is a workforce development teaching role — not a therapeutic one. The work is about results: skill-building, career readiness, and measurable outcomes that move young people toward competitive employment and successful reentry. Your job is to show up consistently, teach with intention, document carefully, and treat every student like someone with a future.

Schedule & Instruction Load

• Group instruction: 3 one-hour classes Monday, 3 one-hour classes Tuesday (6 hours/week of classroom time)
• Individual sessions: 1:1 student meetings scheduled around group blocks
• Prep, documentation, and coordination: balance of the 20 hours
• On-site presence: required Mondays and Tuesdays, 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM at Green Hill

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

1) Classroom Instruction (50%)

• Connect what happens in group classes to each student’s specific path.

3) Documentation & Compliance (15%)

• Document attendance, service hours, and student progress accurately and on time.
• Maintain compliance with DCYF/JR requirements, WIOA Title I and Title IV (DVR) expectations, PREA, and mandatory reporting.
• Hold the standard: “If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen.”

4) Program Support & Coordination (10%)

• Host guest speakers and employer visits arranged by the Program Manager: brief them, introduce them to students, and make the hour count.
• Support Work-Based Learning Experience (WBLE) logistics for your students, including hour tracking and required paperwork.
• Coordinate with the Program Manager on curriculum updates, student needs, and program quality.

5) Facility Relations & Safety (5%)

• Build and maintain working relationships with Green Hill staff.
• Follow all facility rules around movement, contraband, and supervision.
• Communicate quickly with the Program Manager when issues come up on campus.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 2+ years in workforce development, education, youth services, or reentry. Direct teaching, facilitation, or coaching experience strongly preferred.
