JOB DESCRIPTION
: 
Teach For Armenia (TFA) is building a movement of leaders who will reshape what it means to provide an excellent education for all children across the nation. TFA aims to cultivate students who can harness their voices and shape a changing world while being committed to their communities. This will require support at every level of leadership, from its teachers in the classroom, to the highest-ranking officials. Teach For Armenia aims to accomplish this vision by recruiting promising leaders, both in Armenia and from across the diaspora, to teach for a 2-year commitment in schools where their knowledge and skills are needed. In the long-run, the Organization is cultivating a network of changemakers, inclusive of its students, their communities, Alumni, government officials, community partners, supporters, and affiliates from across Teach For All.
The Role: By 2025, Teach For Armenia aims to recruit 360+ Teacher-Leaders. To do so, TFA must increase its recruitment goal by 20% each and every year. Once TFA reaches scale, it will plateau and remain at a “steady state". Young professionals represent a crucial part of the cohort. Moreover, in line with scaling, its vision is to engage more and more university young professionals as well as ensure high visibility of the Teach For Armenia brand.
The Team: All members of the Young Professionals Recruitment team will report directly to the Young Professionals Recruitment Manager. The Young Professionals Recruitment team is part of the larger Recruitment team, which in turn is a part of the “Talent Initiatives” division, which includes Human Resources as well as Selection. The Young Professionals Recruitment Manager will report to the Head of Recruitment.
About You: Teach For Armenia may be the place for you if you believe it is important to foster a values-driven workplace that is centered on leadership. TFA team must be culture-builders who exemplify the type of leadership they are striving to cultivate in their classrooms and across the system. This means each staff member must strive to exemplify its Kochari, hold themselves to the highest of standards, while owning up to mistakes when they themselves falter.
