Enko Education recruits 01 IBDP Coordinator

Are you ready to shape the future of International Education in Senegal? Do you dream of leading schools toward excellence, navigating IB accreditation, or elevating pedagogical standards through analytical leadership?

Enko Education is continuing its impact in Senegal. We are currently looking for visionary IBDP Coordinators to join our schools. These roles offer unique challenges: focusing on the strategic journey toward IB accreditation and on high-level pedagogical leadership and team cohesion.

Your mission will revolve around two main pillars:

The Architect (Accreditation Focus): You will lead the transformative initiative of preparing a school for IBDP accreditation. You will design long-term academic plans, manage the 2026 accreditation roadmap, and build the foundation for a thriving IB community.

The Strategist (Pedagogical Excellence Focus): You will act as a deep-thinking leader capable of decrypting pedagogy with an analytical lens. You are a « team player » at heart, gifted in interpersonal dynamics, capable of rallying a faculty around a shared vision of academic rigor.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Management & Accreditation: Oversee the preparation for IBDP accreditation or evaluation. Manage documentation, IB relations, and strategic timelines.
• Pedagogical Leadership: Analyze and deconstruct teaching practices to ensure high-quality delivery. Visit classrooms, mentor teachers, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
• Team Mastery: Act as a bridge between administration and staff. Use your emotional intelligence to build strong, collaborative teams where every teacher feels supported and inspired.
• Student & Curriculum Oversight: Design programs to prepare students for the DP core (TOK, CAS, EE). Coordinate Grade 10 transitions and ensure skill-building aligns with IB expectations.
• Advisory: Act as the primary point of contact for IB requirements, advising the Head of School on strategic academic decisions.

Your Profile

We are looking for seasoned professionals who bring:

• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of experience within the IBDP framework (as a teacher, TOK/CAS coordinator, or DP Coordinator).
• Analytical Mindset: An ability to « decode » pedagogy and use data/observations to improve learning outcomes.
• Interpersonal Charisma: A true « people person » who knows how to gain the trust of a team and foster a positive school climate.
• Bilingualism: Proficiency in both English and French is mandatory. Knowledge of Wolof is a significant plus.
• Adaptability: Openness to working in different environments within Senegal (coastal or urban).

Contract, Location and Timing

Contract: Full-time.

Location: Senegal (Dakar / Ngaparou). Specific campus preferences will be discussed during the application process.

Timing: ASAP

Requirement: Applicants must be legally eligible to work in Senegal.

• Exceptional Setting: Choose between the cosmopolitan energy of Dakar or the serene coastal lifestyle of the Petite Côte.
