Work With Us!

Kadima School currently has several faculty positions available for the 5784 (2023-2024) school year. See below for details! We are seeking energetic and creative teachers to join our team of committed, collaborative, passionate, justice-seeking Jewish educators. Current open positions:

Timeline
We plan to conduct interviews on a rolling basis until each position is filled.
  • The Assistant Teacher positions begins in October when classes begin—except for September participation in the Teachers' Retreat.
  • We are looking to expand our pool of available madrichimot. As work with each student begins and ends on it's own schedule based on the b'mitzvah date, there is no firm start deadline for these positions.
If this posting is still on our website, the positions listed are still open!

Organizational Context
Kadima Reconstructionist Community is building a progressive community of inclusion, social justice, and Jewish tradition for Jews and our allies. Kadima's youth and family programs empower individuals to be the Jewish leaders in their own lives and households. We aim to enable young people and their families to understand and celebrate Jewish identity, experience a diversity of Jewish practice and informed living, and foster skill-building in our intergenerational Jewish community and outside of it. More information about our Kadima School, Yekum/teen programming, and B’mitzvah programs can be found on the Youth Programs page.

Antioppression Commitment
Kadima has signed onto the Not Free to Desist letter (or see the Seattle-specific letter) and made a commitment to “reimagine our collective Jewish covenant, centering racial justice and equity.” We are also committed to creating a more equitable organization through our work to undo cisheteronormativity and classism and deepen our disability justice work. We are actively involved in a long process of examining and recreating our workplace practices, educational curriculums, programming, and more. We are excited to bring these job opportunities to our communities through a lens of equity and intersectional antioppression, bringing in new voices to support our work to move us closer to a culture of collective liberation.

A Note on Covid and public health
We are running our youth and family programming with a multi-access approach: Kadima School are held in person and primarily indoors, following our institutional covid protocols. In accordance with these protocols, students and teachers will generally be masked when indoors. We are also providing an option for online participation in accordance with the needs of participating community members. We are grateful for your flexibility as we prioritize the access and dignity of our most vulnerable community members.

Vaccination Requirement
We are requiring all teachers to be fully vaccinated (including boosters) against Covid-19 by October 1, 2023, with the exception of several specific medical conditions, to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
