Heading down to Metairie this Wednesday could set you on a path to directly impact the lives of children in your community. Jefferson Parish is rolling out the red carpet for job seekers with a special emphasis on those ready to join the ranks of educators and support staff dedicated to the formative years of our youngest residents. A job fair tailored to showcase positions within the Head Start Program is coming to the East Bank Regional Library, located at 4747 West Napoleon Avenue.
Set aside time between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to learn more about full-time and part-time job openings, with Head Start representatives in attendance to offer insights into these roles. The Parish Personnel Department is eager to not only share information but also to assist candidates to swiftly start their application process on-site with computers made readily available for potential applicants to use. Joining the Head Start fold could well offer not just a paycheck, but a stepping stone to build a career, complete with perks and possibilities for growth.
Accepted into the Head Start family means more than a job; it signifies engaging in meaningful work that nurtures the foundation of a child’s education. The official statement from Jefferson Parish highlights a suite of benefits that accompanies these roles. Employment here is bundled with career advancement, benefits, a retirement plan, and stipends for further education. Additionally, there's the added perk of tuition reimbursement, paid travel expenses for seminars and conferences, potential annual salary hikes, and a chance to significantly increase your salary within the first 18 months.
The event provides an opportunity for those in the education field or those considering a transition into education to explore potential roles. Attendees can learn more about available positions and the impact they may have on the growth and development of Jefferson Parish’s children. The job fair will take place at the East Bank Regional Library this Wednesday.
