About Hebrew Public

Hebrew Public is a small and growing network of schools operated by Hebrew Public: Charter Schools for Global Citizens. Hebrew Public is a secular organization that welcomes candidates of all backgrounds into a supportive and inclusive community.

Across the network, Hebrew Public schools serve children from all backgrounds and help students become global citizens who are strong problem solvers, aware communicators, and lifelong learners committed to making a positive difference in the world around them. Our schools are models of racial and economic integration, academic excellence, and world language learning.

Why PHP?

As part of Hebrew Public, Philadelphia Hebrew Public teachers and staff bring our mission to life with students from more than 40 zip codes across Philadelphia, primarily Black and Brown students whose brilliance, curiosity, and potential drive our work every day.

PHP is rooted in the belief that every student deserves an excellent education in a school where they feel known, supported, and connected. Strong school culture makes rigorous learning possible, and our Climate & Culture Team plays an essential role in creating a safe, joyful, structured, and inclusive environment throughout the school day.

We also invest in our staff through coaching, professional development, feedback, and opportunities to take on greater responsibility and grow within the school community.

For people who want to build meaningful relationships with students and help create a school where every child can thrive, PHP offers the opportunity to make an impact every day.

You don’t need to speak Hebrew to apply, and we strongly encourage candidates from traditionally underrepresented groups to join our community.

The Opportunity

We are always open to meeting student-centered professionals who may be a strong fit for future Climate & Culture Team opportunities. Philadelphia’s education community is a small world, and we value building relationships with talented candidates, even when we do not have an immediate opening.

This evergreen talent-pipeline posting may not represent a current vacancy. Applications will be reviewed as staffing needs arise, and our Talent Team may contact candidates whose experience aligns with an available opportunity.

Our Climate & Culture Team helps students experience consistent expectations, strong relationships, and a sense of belonging throughout the school day. Opportunities may include:

  • Junior Deans of Culture, who help strengthen schoolwide culture, support students and staff, respond to behavioral needs, and reinforce consistent expectations and systems
  • Culture Assistants, who lead and support high-volume parts of the school day such as recess, lunch, dismissal, and transitions while helping maintain a safe, positive, and structured environment
  • Culture Associates, who respond to assigned teacher and classroom needs, provide targeted student support, and help classrooms stay focused, productive, and connected

While responsibilities vary by role, every member of the Climate & Culture Team is expected to build strong relationships with students, communicate clearly, follow schoolwide systems consistently, and respond to challenges with calm, care, and high expectations.

What You’ll Do

  • Build strong, trusting relationships with students across grade levels
  • Reinforce schoolwide expectations, routines, and behavior systems consistently
  • Help students regulate, problem-solve, repair relationships, and return successfully to learning
  • Respond calmly and thoughtfully to student behavioral, social, or emotional needs
  • Support teachers and classrooms when additional culture or student support is needed
  • Lead or support recess, lunch, dismissal, transitions, and other schoolwide routines
  • Help create safe, joyful, structured, and inclusive common spaces
  • Communicate proactively with teachers, school leaders, and other members of the Climate & Culture Team
  • Track and communicate student needs, patterns, or concerns when appropriate
  • Maintain high expectations while treating students with dignity, respect, and care
  • Participate in coaching, team meetings, professional development, and feedback conversations
  • Model our OLAM values: outstanding problem-solving, lifelong learning, aware communication, and making a difference

Who You Are

  • You believe in the limitless potential of every student and that all children deserve an outstanding education
  • You believe strong relationships and consistent expectations are essential to student success
  • You are calm, steady, and thoughtful when responding to challenging situations
  • You build positive relationships while maintaining clear boundaries and high expectations
  • You communicate clearly and work effectively as part of a team

  • You are comfortable receiving feedback and adjusting your approach
  • You notice what students and staff need and are willing to step in to support
  • You value restorative, relationship-centered approaches to school culture
  • You welcome feedback and demonstrate the OLAM values in your work

An Associate’s degree is required for some Climate & Culture roles, while additional education or experience may be preferred depending on the position. Previous experience working with children or adolescents in schools, youth programs, camps, recreation, mentoring, coaching, or similar settings is strongly valued. Experience supporting student behavior, leading groups, or maintaining structured school routines is also preferred.

  • Medical and dental coverage with 85% of premiums covered by the employer

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
