Research Associate Secondary Schools 80 - 100% #

CURIOUS, INDEPENDENT AND STRUCTURED

The Mittelschul- und Berufsbildungsamt is the competence and service center for vocational training, secondary schools, higher vocational training and continuing education in the Canton of Zürich. The Mittelschulen department manages all matters concerning secondary schools. We are looking for a research associate (80 - 100%) immediately or by arrangement.

Your area of responsibility ###

Are you interested in educational issues and do you quickly familiarize yourself with new topics? As an all-round talent, you will handle very different tasks in the Mittelschulen team and thereby support colleagues who look after the individual secondary schools. You answer political inquiries, participate in cantonal projects and develop conceptual foundations. You also participate in the quality management of the secondary schools, for example in the organization and implementation of the exchange of experience or in external evaluations. You write texts for various audiences - from decrees to statements and reports to newsletters or speeches. For your investigations, you move confidently between the departments of the Bildungsdirektion, obtain the necessary information and involve the right specialists. Even when several topics are running simultaneously, you maintain an overview and set priorities with discretion.

Your profile ###

You have a master's degree from a university. You are familiar with the processes of public administration and you have good knowledge of the education system, especially secondary level II. You work conceptually, systematically and analytically, recognize connections beyond the individual dossiers and approach your tasks with a high degree of independence. Where something cannot be solved according to a schema, you find creative ways. As an organizational talent, you work in a structured manner and understand your work as a service - towards the schools, within your own team as well as across the departments of the Bildungsdirektion. Writing is one of your strengths: you move confidently between text types and communicate clearly and understandably. You are proficient in using Office programs.

Our offer ###

A dedicated team and a centrally located workplace not far from the Zürich main station await you. The terms of employment are based on cantonal guidelines and include, among other things, the possibility of home office. Have we piqued your interest? Then we look forward to receiving your complete online application. Applications from recruitment agencies or via e-mail cannot be considered.
