SY2025-26 Human Resources Coordinator

Ingenuity Prep prepares PreK, elementary, and middle school students in Ward 8 to succeed in college and beyond as impactful civic leaders. Our innovative instructional model promotes small group learning for students, collaborative teaching teams, and robust coaching and professional development opportunities for teachers. Our teacher career ladder rewards strong performance over time, giving teachers the opportunity to earn higher levels of base compensation and bonuses as they demonstrate effectiveness with their students and colleagues. Our instructional leaders are charged with supporting teachers by providing clear expectations, ongoing feedback, and targeted development.

We are looking for a short-term Human Resources Coordinator to join our team and play a key role in supporting Ingenuity Prep’s people operations. This is a contractor role. You'll help ensure our HR systems, records, and compliance processes run smoothly and efficiently. One day you might be updating staff personnel files or verifying custom field data, and the next you’ll be preparing information for compliance reports or supporting staff with HR-related questions. Your attention to detail, organization, and commitment to excellent service will help keep our HR operations running seamlessly and support Ingenuity Prep’s goal of being one of the best places to work in D.C.

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT

•  Mission: We’re closing the opportunity gap. Students and families in Southeast D.C. have too few options for high-quality elementary, middle, and high schools.  Ingenuity Prep aspires to right this systemic injustice providing an exemplary educational option for Southeast D.C.’s students and families.
• Model: We pair high expectations with high support. Too often, our students are underestimated.  At Ingenuity Prep, an innovative teacher development model, paired with best-in-class training from strong instructional leaders, allows us to grow great teachers who, ultimately, lead high-expectation and high-support classrooms.
• Results: Our students are defying expectations. Ingenuity Prep’s students outperform their neighborhood peers on rigorous, national, college-track assessments.  Already out-performing many of their more privileged peers around the city, in the coming years, Ingenuity Prep’s students will provide an expectation-defying and achievement-gap-closing proof point — showing what our kids are capable of when we provide the right opportunities, expectations, and support.
