Dartmoor seeks educators and support staff who believe first and foremost in the student. All people have the capacity and desire to learn but for various reasons students encounter difficulties that complicate the learning process or social context of learning. Dartmoor focuses on designing programs to engage each student in the educational process and provide a safe environment for the student to thrive. Instructors and support staff have the opportunity to make a tremendous, positive impact in the lives of Dartmoor students. New staff immediately join a small, tight knit team where you can make a difference from day one. Due to this dynamic, working at Dartmoor allows the unique opportunity for staff to assist in creatively designing programs, and also provides opportunities to implement unique curricular options. In short, working at Dartmoor provides a sense of autonomy, community, and the ability to truly impact each student’s educational path.
