Job description

Benefits:
  • Health insurance
Eureka Valley Arts

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 10 AM–6 PM summer camp hours shift to 9 AM–5 PM

About the Role

We're looking for a creative, hands-on educator to lead our after-school arts and making program for kids — and to help guide the rest of the teaching team. You'll design projects, teach hands-on across a range of mediums, and support fellow teachers so every group stays engaged, on-task, and safe. Morning hours are reserved for prep, planning, and mentoring other teachers before students arrive. This is a full-time, year-round position, including our summer camp program.

What You'll Teach and Train
  • Painting & drawing
  • Sculpture & recycled/3D art
  • Woodworking (kid-safe tools & techniques)
  • Sewing & textiles
  • Tinkering / basic electronics & mechanisms
  • Cardboard structure building
  • Cooking & food-based projects
Leadership Responsibilities
  • Help other teachers brainstorm and plan age-appropriate projects
  • Provide guidance on materials, techniques, and lesson pacing
  • Check in on other classrooms/groups throughout the afternoon to keep kids and teachers focused
  • Troubleshoot on the fly when a project or group needs redirecting
  • Serve as the go-to resource for questions during program hours
What We're Looking For
  • Experience working with children (ideally school-age, K–5)
  • Comfortable across multiple craft/trade disciplines — jack-of-all-trades energy welcome
  • Strong classroom management and safety awareness (tools, kitchen, materials)
  • Some experience mentoring, training, or supervising other staff/teachers
  • Ability to plan a rotating curriculum and adapt to different skill levels
  • Patient, encouraging, and genuinely excited about creative exploration
Need to Be
  • First aid/CPR certification
Nice to Have
  • Background in art education, trades, or design
  • Prior lead teacher or program coordinator experience
