Learning Specialist

Landmark College (LC) is the premier institution for neurodiverse students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges. In fall 2021, LC established a physical presence in the California Bay Area with our Success Center. An expanding, fully accredited college with a base campus in Vermont, LC has expanded through online programs and the Success Center to serve neurodiverse individuals with services, courses, and degree programs.  Due to growth at the Bay Area Success Center, LC seeks a new Learning Specialist at its San Mateo, CA location.  A flexible schedule and generous signing bonus are available.

Working remotely and reporting to the Director of the Success Center, the Learning Specialist is responsible for providing personalized, online support services to students and other individuals over various time zones. Services provided to clients may include knowledge and skill development in the following areas: study and learning strategies, transition, executive function, and social and emotional learning.

 The Learning Specialist will have working knowledge of profiles of neurodivergent students and be well-versed in evidence-based interventions. Proven experience working with neurodiverse individuals online is a plus.  The Learning Specialist must also be able to teach high school and college-level active reading, writing, and math strategies, as well as strategies to support notetaking, test-taking, time management, problem solving, prioritization, and goal setting. Other responsibilities include managing student support data, identifying and assessing student success, and providing insight and tracking metrics for program success. The opportunity exists to fulfill these duties in either a half-time or a full-time role, depending on the candidate.

QUALIFICATIONS: Master's degree in Special Education, Educational Psychology, Psychology, or a related field expected. Several years of study skills intervention at the high school and/or college level is highly desirable with experience in online learning and engagement desirable. The ability to relate to and communicate with teenagers, young adults, and adults is necessary.   Preference is given to individuals with experience working with neurodiverse students who learn differently and those willing to work a flexible schedule including evenings and weekends.

Diversifying the student body, faculty, and administration is congruent with LC’s mission. We value diverse populations and cultures, including but not limited to ethnicity, gender, gender identity, national origin, neurodiversity, disability, race, and religion.

LC offers fulfilling employment with a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits program to full-time employees. Interested individuals should apply with a cover letter, CV, and full contact information for three work references to the Director of Human Resources: humanresources@landmark.edu.  To find out more about the College please visit us: www.landmark.edu.
