🙌 About the Role

Boundless Education is transforming current systems of education. Our educational concept empowers all children to explore their natural creativity, discover their true passions, and shape their own future. We apply the renowned Finnish Curriculum, integrated with best pedagogical practices from around the world, to create a personalised, multi-age, skills-driven and strength-based system that is supportively led by educators as mentors.

We are looking for a passionate Support Early Years Educator to join our team for the upcoming launch of Boundless Life in Barcelona.

Working with children in our Explorers age group (1–5 years old), Support Educators are key partners in education, working closely alongside the Lead Educator to create a safe, nurturing and engaging learning environment for every child.

A key responsibility of our Support Educators is ensuring the duty of care for all children while creating meaningful opportunities for learning, exploration and development. Learning at Boundless is not confined to the classroom — you'll help foster experiential and inquiry-based learning both inside and outside the classroom while supporting children's academic, social, behavioural and emotional development.
