The Role
Big Lots seeks a detail-oriented Substitute Teacher to support our continued growth across Iowa City and beyond. At Big Lots, $49,000 - $69,000 buys a junior seat, but 1 years of Inquiry-Based Learning buys you the ownership that comes with it.
Key Responsibilities
- Make peace with self-directed ambiguity and ship anyway
- Champion a positive, collaborative culture throughout the Iowa City, IA office
- Read the room and adjust how you pitch Special Education to each audience
- Own the boring middle of a project, not just the kickoff
- Coach newer junior teammates through their first messy general project
What You'll Bring
- Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
- Comfort with part-time arrangements and the rhythms of an endlessly-iterating workplace
- Comfort with a Big Lots pace that rarely sits still
- Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
- Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
- Junior fluency in Written Communication, with Special Education on your roadmap
Big Lots exists to solve hard general problems with a sharp-but-gentle approach and an Iowa City, IA-rooted culture. Our IA team treats transparency as a feature, sharing the messy middle, not just the wins.
We'll invest in you with $49,000 - $69,000, full benefits, and a roadmap that turns this job into a long-term career.
We are meeting Substitute Teacher candidates now and moving qualified ones forward fast.
If you can picture yourself owning the Substitute Teacher work here, picture it harder and apply.
