About the Role

~1 min read

The Director of Educational Technology is a whole school strategic leadership role responsible for shaping, driving and sustaining St. Paul’s digital vision.

This role ensures that technology and artificial intelligence meaningfully enhance teaching, learning and school operations, while fostering a digitally confident, responsible and future ready community.

Reporting to the Head on all educational matters and to the General Manager on technology infrastructure and operations, the Director leads the development and execution of a coherent Digital and AI Strategy aligned with the School’s mission, values and long-term priorities.

At St. Paul’s, we believe that great educational leadership remains connected to the classroom; therefore, this role includes a limited teaching allocation in Digital Literacy.

St. Paul’s was founded in 1926 and was the first school in South America to receive accreditation from the UK government as a British School Oversees. Fully coeducational, with about 1,000 pupils, aged from 3 to 18, it is a school with history and tradition, but which embraces innovation, contemporary values and the latest in digital learning. We are a world-class school, and an international member of HMC and IAPS, and a member of COBIS and the LAHC. We are proud of our local, national and international reputation and we constantly strive to improve the opportunities for our pupils and staff. Our recent BSO inspection judged us as a leading British School overseas, and you can download the report from our website. Our exceptional facilities place teaching and learning at the heart of the school.

All staff are expected to conduct themselves in line with the school’s values which are:

KINDNESS, INTEGRITY, ASPIRATION, INCLUSION, RESPONSIBILITY, ADVENTURE

What We Offer

Living in Brazil and in São Paulo city

“It only took a matter of months for me to fall in love with Brazil: the warmth of its people; their optimism and zest for life; their willingness to help strangers and their ever-readiness for a party! This, against a backdrop of stunning natural beauty, incredible wildlife and some of the best beaches I have ever seen make Brazil an unrivalled country to call home away from home. More locally, São Paulo is an elating metropolis to live in: I love how diverse it is demographically; how green and leafy it is; the excellent arts and culture options; the food offering is second-to-none and the nightlife is awesome. In all, São Paulo (and Brazil) are the best places to live if you value good people, fun, quality of life and heady adventure.” - Mr Jonathan Tarrant, Second in the English Department in Senior School.

Safeguarding

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. The offer of the role would be made subject to receipt of satisfactory references, proof of relevant qualifications, identification checks and other safeguarding checks (including Internet and Social Media profiles and exposure), an overseas check if appropriate and a pre-placement medical assessment. Proof of entitlement to work in Brazil is also required where necessary.

Please include a letter of application setting out the reasons why you feel you feel you are a strong candidate for this role.
