About Us

The Palliser School

Division and the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute (SACI) take pride in

serving multiple school divisions and are committed to providing safe, caring,

inclusive, and responsive learning environments. At SACI, our E3 program is a unique

career pathways initiative designed for students in grades 7–9. Through

project-based learning and hands-on workshops, E3 introduces students to

exciting careers in agriculture, health care, and trades, equipping them with

industry-relevant skills and building their confidence for the future.

Palliser is committed to

supporting the values of empathy, integrity, respect, trust, and

responsibility. We are looking for an individual who embodies these values to

join our collaborative team.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly

collaborative, flexible, and proactive Program Support Educational Assistant to

support the daily operations and delivery of hands-on learning experiences for

the E3 program. Unlike a traditional Educational Assistant role focused on

supporting individual students with specific needs, this position is uniquely

designed to support overall programming. You will work across multiple program

areas—including trades, agriculture, and health care—to ensure that our

learning environments, events, and workshops run efficiently.

Key Responsibilities

• Workshop &

Assists instructors during hands-on activities, supports

student transitions between sessions, and reset learning spaces between groups

monitor consumable materials.

• Agriculture

Facility Support:

Maintain hydroponic systems and plant-based learning

environments, and prepare resources for seasonal agriculture programming.

• Student &

Event Supervision:

Provide support and logistical assistance for student

transitions, breaks, tours, and large group events.

• Program

Support:

Format student-facing resources, assemble materials for new

activities, and support the setup and testing of new program activities.

Student

Engagement:

Working directly with

students during hands-on workshops and project-based programming, the role

requires someone who can effectively build rapport and support student

learning, build confidence, and ensure high engagement in all learning

activities.

Qualifications &

Personal Attributes

• Personal

Traits:

Patient, flexible, and empathic, with the ability to build a

strong rapport with students. Must be a reliable self-starter with a positive

attitude and problem-solving mindset.

• Work Habits: Highly

organized with strong time-management skills; comfortable working independently

and as part of a collaborative team in a hands-on environment.

Assets: A basic understanding

of workshops, the trades, agriculture, as well as experience with inventory

management or event support, is considered an asset.

Mandatory Requirements

To maintain a safe and

secure working environment, successful applicants must provide:

• A Criminal

Record Check, including a vulnerable sector check from a Local Police Service
