Now Hiring: BRIDGE Program Liaison (2026–2027 School Year)

 

Southwest Christian Academy is seeking a compassionate, organized, and student-focused professional to serve as our BRIDGE Program Liaison for the 2026–2027 school year.

 

This position supports students who need additional academic structure, accountability, and mentoring in order to thrive in a traditional classroom environment.

 

 

About the BRIDGE Program

 

BRIDGE stands for Building Readiness, Independence, Development, and Growth.

 

The BRIDGE Program at Southwest Christian Academy is an academic support and mentoring program designed for students who benefit from consistent guidance, extended time, and intentional adult support. BRIDGE is built on the belief that many students do not need a separate school or specialized therapy—they need structure, encouragement, and someone who knows them well and walks with them through their academic journey.

 

BRIDGE is not a diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical program. It provides support, structure, and mentoring—not specialized intervention.

 

 

Position Overview

 

The BRIDGE Program Liaison serves as the primary mentor and coordinator for students enrolled in the BRIDGE program. This role focuses on academic mentoring, progress monitoring, communication, and coordination with teachers and families.

 

The liaison acts as the central point of contact between students, parents, and school staff, ensuring that each student’s individualized support plan is implemented consistently and effectively.

  • Conduct quarterly academic reviews

  • Prepare written progress summaries

  • Identify concerns early and coordinate appropriate responses

 

 

Collaboration & Communication

 

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for BRIDGE families

  • Communicate regularly with parents regarding progress and concerns

Program Coordination

  • Help develop individualized support plans

  • Support annual placement reviews and transition planning

  • Maintain clear documentation and communication records

  • Strong organizational and communication skills

  • Ability to build positive, trusting relationships with students and families

  • Understanding of learning accommodations and academic support strategies

  • Strong commitment to Christian education and biblical values

 

Teaching certification is not required.

 

 

Who This Role Is (and Is Not) For

 

This role is ideal for someone who:

 

  • Enjoys mentoring and supporting students one-on-one

  • Thrives in a structured, relational support role

  • Values collaboration with families and teachers

 

This role does not involve:

 

  • Diagnostic evaluations

  • Therapy or clinical services

Why Join Southwest Christian Academy?

 

  • Mission-driven, Christ-centered work environment
