Head of Training and Support

Teach For Cambodia’s hope for the younger generation—to shape the future of Cambodia—is a response to the shared history and trauma of the genocide that touched the lives of all Cambodians. Many boys and girls live in poverty and are forced into laboring jobs or migrating to find subsistence-level work. The education system is similarly challenged. 

Teach For Cambodia supports the younger generation of Cambodians to build a new future for the country. We recruit fellows who share their students’ low-income backgrounds, nurture a deep sense of trust and connection between those fellows during the two-year program, and invest in building capacity to understand the problems of the Cambodian educational system and how they might be solved. TFC is now in its sixth year and has built a community of 83 alumni and 33 fellows who have reached over 30,000 students in nearly 20 school communities. Additionally, alums from the first three cohorts already work in critical roles within the system, shaping and implementing national education policies. Looking ahead, TFC aims to grow its intake of incoming fellows and expand to new schools and communities.

Teach For Cambodia is a leadership development organization, so we are looking to hire staff who can demonstrate leadership mindsets, experiences, and competencies. This role requires a leader with a record of achievement and professional experience as a manager of people and projects.

The Head of Training and Support’s role is to lead the Team in developing fellows to become effective leaders and teachers for educational equity and excellence. This role will build a thoughtful, reflective and dynamic team that will train, coach and support Teach For Cambodia fellows to become exceptional leaders in the classroom and beyond. This role will bring strategic thinking, key relationships and a focus on developing individual and team potential to the Teach For Cambodia program.
