Develop programming for incoming students with disabilities to help them confidently transition into Berklee’s curriculum.
 

Lead coaching groups (some evenings required) and mid-day drop-in sessions.
 

Actively engage with Berklee’s broader academic coaching initiatives to promote best practices and consistency.
 

What You'll Bring:

Required: Bachelor’s + relevant experience (disability services, coaching, tutoring, etc.).
 

Preferred: Enrollment in or recent completion of a master’s program in higher education, counseling, or a related field.

Strong communication skills and genuine enthusiasm for helping students thrive.
 

A collaborative mindset and sensitivity to the experiences of students with disabilities in higher education.
 

Flexibility to work some nights and weekends.
