Our Commitment
to Equity
As a 501(c)3 non-profit school, Headwaters School does not discriminate because of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other classes protected by federal, state, or local law in its admissions, hiring, or board membership processes. All applicants are subject to a background check prior to being hired.
Studies show that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every qualification listed. We're committed to finding the best candidate for each role and that person may come from a non-traditional background. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification—your unique perspective and experience may be exactly what we need.
If you're unsure whether you meet the qualifications or have questions about a position, please contact Human Resources to discuss your application.
