Global Village School is looking for new team members!
GVS provides children with a personalized, enlivening, holistic education that prepares them to be global citizens. We have grown significantly, and some of our staff are nearing retirement. We’re looking for capable, committed, enthusiastic people who want to be a part of the Global Village mission.
We currently have openings in administration (both curriculum/instruction and operations), teaching, curriculum development, social media/communications/marketing, and office and technical support. We know what tasks need to be done, but rather than defining all the specifics of the positions beforehand, like we’ve done in the past, we have decided to start by putting the word out and seeing who feels resonance with our work, and what their strengths and scheduling needs are. We will then build the official positions out from there. So, if you feel drawn to being part of our team, please reach out and let us know who you are!
How to Apply
Please send a cover letter and resume to gvsteam@globalvillageschool.org, No phone calls, please.
We will contact qualified candidates to set up the next step. In your letter, please tell us about:
-your strengths and your areas for growth
-what you like to do, and how you feel you could best contribute to Global Village’s mission
-approximately how many hours a week you would like to work. (We are open to discussing positions from 10 hours a week up to 30+.)
-your technical skills: your level of proficiency (please list a few things you can do in each app, or just say “n/a” if you don’t have experience with the app) with MS Office and Excel; Google Drive, sheets, and docs; website design and maintenance; database design and data entry
-whether you can work in our Ojai, CA administrative office or have experience working remotely.
-your experience with the school accreditation process (WASC and/or other agencies)
Timeline
We would like to fill the positions soon. There is no set deadline. The application process will close when our staffing needs have been met, and may close without advance notice.
Pay
Pay and benefits to be determined as we zero in on the specifics of the positions. Benefits and flexible scheduling available for some positions.
Thank you for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you!
