<h2>Job overview</h2> As a Catholic International School we believe that teaching is a vocation, a calling, not just a job. Like our students, Seisen International School's faculty members represent many different nationalities and faiths. In keeping with our mission, we seek to build a diverse community that represents a variety of backgrounds and experiences. We believe that our students’ learning, interactions and growth is more exciting and enriching when they interact with peers and teachers who bring a diversity of backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives to campus. Seisen International School is committed to promoting diversity, inclusion, equity and anti racist principles in its recruitment and staffing practices. As part of our recruitment for the 2026-2027 school year, Seisen International School is looking specifically to hire an experienced culturally responsive school counselor to work with our K- Grade 5 student body. Experience with families coming from an Asian background is highly appreciated for our school context. Experience with the IBPYP is an advantage as is prior experience teaching in a classroom context so as to lead / co-lead assemblies etc At Seisen, counselors combine two work settings, a separate counseling office and the classrooms they take their program into for sessions with entire classes. SIS counselors work with administration and other educators to ensure student well being and success. They work at several levels of responsibility serving as a resource to individual students, teachers, administrators, parents, guardians to find the optimal approach to a situation. Counselors work directly with students and their families to resolve interpersonal or family problems or safeguarding issues that interfere with progress in school. Counselors help design prevention programs and promote tolerance of and appreciation of diversity throughout the school. They provide training in student safeguarding, anti bullying, social skills, behavioral management and help students, families and faculty deal with crises, such as illness, trauma and bereavement.Counselors are advocates for the appropriate level of instruction and support for students and engage in interventions designed to promote student growth and achievement of goals. These interventions are accomplished with students individually as well as in small-group and whole-class settings and consist of both proactive services (a curriculum of classroom presentations based upon the known developmental needs of children in a particular age-group) and responsive services (emerging from issues that appear either in individualstudents or within the school culture as a whole). Counselors collaborate with teachers to present curriculum-based guidance lessons or to offer advice on behavior management or any issues that affect student learning including issues related to social interactions and emotions. Counselors may carry out testing that they are qualified to administer specifically designed to reveal important aspects of a student’s approach to learning, thus enabling the planning of interventions appropriate for that particular student. In addition, the counselor may be involved in interpreting cognitive and achievement tests, interpreting student records and applications and assisting the school principals in identifying and resolving student needs, issues and problems. We seek to attract faculty members who are:Willing to embrace the school's Catholic identity and MissionCommitted to Social JusticeDynamic, passionate and compassionate educatorsDedicated to students and who foster positive professional relationships with themEnthusiastic about teaching within a multicultural environment with a commitment to global mindedness and a high degree of intercultural competenceFlexible in approach and who have a collaborative styleCommitted to their own personal and professional lifelong learningResilient and PragmaticWilling to step up and help out by actively participating in extracurricular activities, school development projects and other school activities.Inquiry-based and concept-driven educatorsIn possession of a Positive / Growth mindset
