The UCSB Children's Centers are currently accepting applications for Fall Quarter for Teaching Assistants. These positions are for UCSB students. Work Study is preferred but not required. Both scheduled shifts and substitute shifts are available. Apply early for the best opportunity of employment.

The Children's Centers have two locations:
  • Student Resource Building (separate entrance on the ocean side)

We serve infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. TA responsibilities include supervising children, maintaining a safe and clean classroom environment, assisting during snack, lunch and nap times, and assisting in creating smooth transitions between inside and outside play. For more info see our website: https://childrenscenter.sa.ucsb.edu.

If your availability does not match our needs for this quarter, please consider applying for a future quarter.

If you are selected for an interview, you will receive a packet of pre-employment forms and information. In preparation for some of these requirements, there are documents you may want to bring with you from home. CA law requires immunizations (or exemptions) for whooping cough (TDP or Tdap) and measles (MMR) – copies of your immunization record are acceptable as is printing the record from Student Health’s website if available there. You will also need forms of IDs that document work eligibility. See page 4 of the I-9 form (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-9.pdf) for a list of acceptable IDs. 

Submit your completed application here on Handshake, in person at either center or email to ofcc@sa.ucsb.edu. Resume is optional. The application can be found on our website (https://childrenscenter.sa.ucsb.edu/Employment/TAPositions.aspx) or on the bottom right of this page.

Most PDF programs will allow you to add text, symbols and/or draw directly on the application.

Thank you for considering the Children Center.
