About the job

About Us: Love Justice International (LJI) is a Christian nonprofit organization and our mission is sharing the love of Jesus Christ by fighting the world’s greatest injustices. We do this in two primary ways: through our expanding anti-human trafficking work and by caring for orphaned and abandoned children. We are seeking faithful, compassionate, thoughtful problem-solvers who are able to think deeply and carefully about how we can share Christ's love by fighting injustice. You can make more money elsewhere, and probably find better ways to live an easier, more comfortable life. We see this work as more than just a job, but as a calling to that mission. If you are called to our mission and want to find out how you can fit into our work, apply today!

Position Overview: LJI operates 17 family homes and one hostel for orphaned and abandoned children in South Asia. Our primary objective is to help these children become difference-makers in their nation. The Love Justice School, located in South Asia, plays a significant role in that by inspiring our students to become independent thinkers, adept problem solvers, and passionate difference makers in the world by preparing their hearts, minds, and souls through excellent education. This unique school has both South Asian and expat teachers and aims to implement the most research-backed educational methods from around the world to achieve a truly "kingdom class" education.

LJI is seeking a dedicated and motivated leader to help this school achieve the level of biblical excellence to which we are called. If this can be done, LJI intends to scale this model (a school at the center of multiple family homes for orphaned children) up and implement it around the world.

This position is located in South Asia and reports to the CEO. Ideal candidates will have both a robust preference for research-backed methodologies and a heart and mind to dream about everything that education can be.

• Supervising methods of teaching and the curriculum and staff development program, including ongoing revision of curriculum guides, textbooks, and other materials
• Developing and implementing educational evaluation and testing programs
• Managing any other duties as assigned by the President

• We Commit to Connect with Jesus
• Prayer Should Be Central To Our Work
• Our Conduct Is Our Testimony

Qualifications:

• Agreement with our Core Value “Be the Kingdom”(both in the execution of our mission and in our personal lives)
• Acknowledgement of our Statement of Faith
• Bachelor's degree or higher (preferably in education), along with school administration and teaching experience (overseas preferred but not required)
