Life Lab:

Helping Hands, Healthy Communities. This pathway is grounded in a simple belief: healthy communities depend on thoughtful connection, communication, facilitation, wellbeing, and responsive care. Through this program, students explore careers in behavioral health, education, youth work, counseling, social work, community organizing, peer support, and other helping professions. The Human Services CTE teacher will teach a sequence of courses focused on personal wellbeing, healthy relationships, human development, communication, group facilitation, ethical helping practices, community engagement, and career exploration. The teacher will also strengthen the pathway over time by refining curriculum, coordinating applied learning opportunities, and guiding students through capstone experiences such as peer mentoring, assistant teaching, elementary school support, internships, service projects, and community action work. Like all Creekside teachers, this teacher will also serve as an Advisor. At Creekside, Advisory is more than a homeroom. Advisors are the primary relational anchor for a small group of students. They build strong, consistent relationships with students and families, monitor academic progress, support attendance and engagement, help students navigate challenges, and partner with students as they make plans for graduation, future pathways, and personal growth. Advisory is one of the main ways Creekside creates belonging, accountability, and individualized support. This is a teaching, advising, and program-development position, not a clinical counseling role. The teacher will help students learn about human services, practice relational and professional skills, explore career pathways, and apply their learning in supervised, school-supported experiences. This position requires appropriate CTE licensure or the ability to obtain licensure through Oregon's provisional sponsorship process. Traditional teaching licensure is not necessarily required at the time of application. Candidates with relevant education and experience in social work, counseling, therapy, education, social-emotional learning, youth work, community services, or another helping field may be eligible for CTE licensure through district sponsorship. The ideal candidate is relational, organized, flexible, reflective, and excited to help grow an existing Creekside pathway. We are looking for someone who can teach, advise, mentor, coordinate, and collaborate as Creekside continues developing opportunities for future behavioral health practitioners, educators, youth workers, community organizers, and leaders ready to support their communities
