    SHOW UP. WORK HARD. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

    This job is for someone who loves kids, isn't afraid to get their hands dirty, and finds real satisfaction in a day well worked. You'll be on your feet from the moment you arrive — supervising students, setting up activities, cleaning up messes, putting bandaids on scraped knees, and somewhere in between, capturing the moments that make our school worth talking about. If that sounds like a great day to you, we want to meet you.

    ABOUT CREATIVE STEAM

    Creative STEAM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit learning center in Laguna Woods, CA, built on the belief that learning should be hands-on, human, and joyful. We're a small, tight-knit campus where every student is known by name and every staff member plays a real, meaningful role in the community we build together.

    THE ROLE

    This is a full-body, all-hands role. You are the person who makes the campus run — setting up before the day starts, keeping things safe and clean while it's happening, and breaking it all down at the end. You genuinely connect with students. You're reliable, physically capable, and you take pride in doing the unglamorous stuff well. The social media and content creation side of this job is real and valued, but it is one part of a much bigger picture. If you're only here for the camera work, this isn't the right fit.

    This is also a role with a real future. We are a growing organization and we invest in people who show up, work hard, and care about what we're building. For the right person, this position is a launchpad — with genuine opportunity to grow into administrative, operations, or leadership roles as we expand.

    WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

    With students — this is the most important part:

    Supervise students during lunch and recess — engaged, present, and attentive

    Build real relationships with kids and be a trusted, consistent presence on campus

    Support teachers in classrooms during centers, activities, and transitions

    Handle first aid for minor injuries — scrapes, ouches, and the occasional meltdown

    Be the calm, capable adult students can count on every single day

    On the ground — the physical work:

    Set up and break down playground equipment and outdoor activity areas daily

    Prepare and clean up for school events, parties, assemblies, and celebrations

    Maintain a clean, organized, safe campus environment throughout the day

    Organize classroom supplies and support teacher needs

    This job can be physical, can be messy, and requires someone who takes pride in both

    Content and community — the creative side:

    Capture photos and videos of daily school life using an Osmo camera

    Manage and post daily content across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads

    Shoot footage for yearbook, family communications, and school announcements

    Edit photos and videos using tools like CapCut, InShot, Adobe Premiere Rush, Canva, or similar apps

    Add captions, tags, and hashtags to maximize reach and engagement

    Jump on trends and create content that genuinely reflects our school's personality

    Maintain a consistent posting schedule and school voice across all platforms

    WHO YOU ARE

    You love kids — genuinely, not just on paper. Students feel it when you walk in the room

    You are a hard worker who shows up on time, every time, ready to go

    You're physically capable and comfortable with active, on-your-feet work all day

    You don't shy away from cleaning, lifting, setting up, or whatever needs doing

    You're calm under pressure — a crying kid or a messy situation doesn't rattle you

    You have experience working with students or children in some capacity

    You have hands-on experience managing social media accounts — Instagram, Facebook, and Threads specifically

    You're comfortable with technology and confident using editing tools like CapCut, InShot, Canva, Adobe Premiere Rush, or similar apps

    You understand what makes content perform — good lighting, clean edits, strong captions, and consistent posting

    You're organized, dependable, and a strong team player

    You're someone who takes initiative, thinks ahead, and wants to grow

    Current first aid / CPR certification is a plus

    WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS JOB

    A schedule that works — Mon, Tue, Thu & Fri, 10am to 2pm

    Real variety — no two days are the same and the work actually matters

    A small, warm, community-driven campus where you are not just another employee

    Room to grow — we promote from within and actively support career advancement into administrative and leadership roles

    A great fit for someone in education, child development, kinesiology, marketing, or anyone who finds purpose in working with kids

    The chance to be a real part of a child's day — every single day

    This job is physical, unpredictable, occasionally messy, and genuinely rewarding. We're not just looking for someone to fill a position — we're looking for someone to grow with us. If that excites you — we'd love to hear from you.
