The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS) in London, UK, seeks to recruit an Education Officer for a dual role in assisting with its Early Learning and Primary Education projects in the Department of Curriculum Studies.
The Education Officer will report to the Primary Curriculum Coordinator, assuming a dual role in assisting with both the Early Learning and Primary Curriculum projects. The work at the pre-primary level will involve contributing to child development programmes, curriculum planning, parental support training, and professional development of ECD practitioners. With the primary level project, the Education Officer will help with the digital upgrading of the Primary Ta‘lim Curriculum through a phased approach, applying an interactive teaching and learning pedagogy.
Working with multi-faceted programmes on Early Childhood Education and the Lower Primary, the Education Officer will provide specialist input into the educational development of children aged between 3-8 years. This input will feed into relevant human resource development and training contexts, curricular frameworks, teaching and learning resources, and the effective use of digital media and technology as tools in the instructional process within the upgraded curriculum materials.
The prospective candidate will have a postgraduate qualification in Education plus teaching experience with the 3-8 years age group, stay familiar with the IIS’s primary curriculum, and have curriculum development expertise, including some level of engagement with the use of digital technology and media in educational programmes.
This is a full-time position, based at the Aga Khan Centre in London and is offered as a 3 year fixed term contract initially.
