Technology stagiaire / intern

To support the development of technology skills and enthusiasm amongst students at Institut Le Rosey, we are seeking a technology “stagiaire” (intern) for 11 months (August 2020 – June 2021).

He/she will be expected to lead technology activities for at least 25 periods of approximately 45 minutes per week, but principally to become involved in the broader Technology activities of the Rosey community. We would expect the stagiaire to:

A. Stagiaire’s Duties

1. Have expertise and advise students or teachers in one or more of the following areas: engineering, robotics, 3d design & printing, programming in “useful” languages for students (python, swift, scratch, Objective-C, java, etc.), Apple environment (all students and teachers have MBP), mechatronics and any other technology project.

2. Design, organize and run technology activities during our afternoon or evening ACTIS block as well as one Technology lesson for our Cadet’s section (12-14 years old).

3. Assist with teaching technology related projects during the school day.

4. Assist with teachers’ professional development during the school day.

5. Organise and maintain all the tech equipment.

6. If necessary, be present in the PHCH in the late afternoon and early evening and sometimes

until 10.00 pm on a rota basis.

7. If necessary, be available for Saturday morning duties.

8. Occasionally help with the IT department with large migrations, moves or user support.

9. If necessary, work in the field of learning analytics.

During the Summer Camps period ( August) the stagiaire should:

1. Lead 2 robotics activities in the afternoons on the weekdays.

2. Assist the Technology teacher with some morning lessons of the Tech Academy

3. Prepare himself for the academic year and develop the skillset needed for all the

classes/activities.

It is important that the person appointed is a technology enthusiast with projects and ideas as well as a competent multitasker. He/she will be able to work on personal projects during the day and the evening, and will be expected to discuss work with students and assist them with their work. This post is a residential position, and would ideally suit a recently qualified graduate, preferably in the field of Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.

As well as possessing ability and potential in their field, the ideal stagiaire will be energetic, flexible and dynamic with an interest in international education. The ability to communicate in both English and French would be a distinct advantage, as would a clean driving licence.

All new employees are required to undertake a security clearance, which includes providing criminal records reports as well as a special excerpt from the Swiss criminal records for people working with children.

Expressions of interest should be addressed to Afroditi Skevi, at askevi@rosey.ch; they must be by email and include: a statement of interest (providing an idea of personal and professional qualities), a CV or résumé and the names of three referees.

*Non-European Applications

To our great regret, changes to Swiss law have made it extremely difficult for international schools like Le Rosey to obtain work permits for non-EU citizens. For this reason, applicants without EU passports or Swiss work permits are advised that this greatly reduces their chances of being put on a short list. We will, nevertheless, consider all such applications seriously; and if the nature of the post and the quality of the application make us optimistic about the outcome of what can be a long administrative process, we are ready to undertake it.

Closing date for applications: 15 June 2020
