ISSOS St Andrews and Cambridge

ISSOS offers high school students (aged 13-18) from all over the world the unique opportunity to combine learning, creative enrichment and action-packed adventure in the historic and picturesque university towns of St Andrews and Cambridge. Every summer we welcome students from over 60 nationalities.  Students choose one academic subject and one elective as well as taking part in a wide selection of evening programs, Sunday workshops and cultural trips.

ISSOS prides itself on its professional, highly-qualified and motivated staff. All of our teachers have been carefully selected from academic institutions around the world for their qualifications, expertise and experience and bring with them an energy and enthusiasm for teaching and interacting with young people within both our academic and extra-curricular programs. The success of our programs rests on the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff and their common goal of making ISSOS a truly unique and exciting experience for every student.  

The Program Director of ISSOS will be responsible for the safety and wellbeing of all students and staff on the program. You must ensure that staff give 100% every day in teaching, energy and pastoral care in order to give ISSOS students the best possible summer experience.

The Program Director will lead a team of Teachers, Head Counselors and Counselors and is responsible for the day to day implementation of the program as laid down by ISSOS.

This role involves a huge amount of responsibility, flexibility, organizational, managerial, leadership and communication skills as well as great sensitivity and a sense of fun.

It is essential that the Program Director is experienced in dealing with the pastoral care of young people and has the ability to motivate and lead a team of staff. ISSOS is looking for a candidate who possesses strong leadership qualities, organisational ability and is passionate about working with young people. A CELTA/TESOL or teaching qualification is desirable but not essential.
