Role Overview
We're seeking a compassionate, adaptable Special Populations Support Specialist to support students Pre-K through 8th grade with diverse learning, behavioral, communication, and mobility needs.
In this role, you'll partner with special education teachers, classroom teachers, therapists, and school leaders to help students access instruction, build independence, and participate fully in the school day. While you won't serve as the teacher of record or case manager, you'll play an essential role in implementing students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and ensuring they receive the individualized support they need to succeed.
This position serves multiple schools throughout the district, providing support wherever student needs are greatest. If you enjoy variety, collaboration, and meaningful work, you'll have the opportunity to make an impact every day.
Who You'll Support
You'll work with students across Pre-K through 8th grade in inclusive classrooms, resource settings, and specialized learning environments.
Students have a wide range of educational, developmental, behavioral, communication, and mobility needs. Every assignment is unique, giving you the opportunity to build meaningful relationships while supporting students at different ages and stages of development.
What You'll Do
Implement accommodations, modifications, and supports outlined in students' IEPs
Provide one-on-one and small-group support during instruction and daily classroom activities
Support students with academic, behavioral, communication, social-emotional, mobility, and functional needs
Assist with classroom participation, transitions, and personal care as needed
Reinforce positive behavior strategies and intervention plans
Collaborate with teachers, therapists, administrators, and related service providers
Adapt to changing assignments across schools and grade levels based on district needs
Monitor student progress and communicate observations with the educational team
Help create a safe, structured, inclusive learning environment where students can thrive
You're a Great Fit If You...
Believe every student deserves individualized support and opportunities to succeed
Build strong relationships while maintaining consistency and high expectations
Are flexible, patient, and solution-oriented
Enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams
Are comfortable supporting students with a wide variety of disabilities and learning needs
Bring professionalism, compassion, and excellent communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
Experience supporting students with disabilities in educational, therapeutic, or clinical settings
Previous experience as a paraprofessional, instructional assistant, Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), ABA therapist, or student support professional
Special Education certification, licensure, or significant Special Education experience strongly preferred
ABA or behavior intervention experience is highly valued
Logistics & Compensation
Location: Franklin, TN
Position Type: Full-Time
Schedule: School-day hours
School Assignments: Support multiple schools throughout the district based on student needs
Start Date: August 2026
Working with Thrive
When you join this opportunity through Thrive Education Partners, you'll have a dedicated partner throughout the hiring process and beyond.
We'll help you learn about the district, prepare for interviews, and support your transition into the role. Once you're hired, we'll continue working alongside district leadership to ensure you have the resources, communication, and encouragement needed to be successful.
Throughout your first year, we'll check in regularly, celebrate milestones, help navigate challenges, and remain a trusted resource as you grow in your role. Our goal is not simply to help you find your next position—it's to help you thrive in it.
Why This Role
Some of the most meaningful moments in education happen outside the spotlight—a student communicating a need, mastering a new skill, building confidence, or taking an important step toward greater independence.
As a Special Populations Support Specialist, you'll help create those moments every day. Your flexibility, compassion, and commitment will directly impact students while helping schools provide exceptional support to every learner.
