Job Title
Leadership Training and Development
Description
Some of the most meaningful moments in our work at PEMIMPIN happen in schools. Sitting with teachers, building trust, and listening to what is working, what is not, and what we can change together so their students can flourish.
We partner closely with teachers and school leaders to design learning experiences that respond to real challenges in schools. Our work is practical, grounded, and shaped by what actually happens on the ground. As our programmes deepen and reach more schools, we are opening up opportunities to grow our team.
If this resonates with you and you want to be part of a team committed to contributing to lasting change, we would love to hear from you.
About the Accelerated School Improvement (ASLI) Fellowship:
The Accelerated School Improvement (ASLI) Fellowship is a 15-month school improvement initiative under
PEMIMPIN’s Fellowships Pillar, designed to strengthen leadership capacity among school leaders and teachers from
Orang Asli schools in Pahang. This Fellowship will be implemented across 12 participating schools.
ASLI works in close partnership with schools to develop contextually responsive leadership, instructional, and
school improvement practices. The Fellowship equips schools with the skills, knowledge, and support needed to
empower teachers, engage communities, and improve student outcomes, while recognising and respecting the
unique cultural and contextual realities of Orang Asli communities.
About the Role:
The Manager oversees the implementation of the ASLI fellowship, working closely with school leaders and teachers
to strengthen leadership capacity and instructional practice. The role involves delivering training and coaching
sessions, supporting school-based improvement initiatives, and leading Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL)
efforts to assess effectiveness and inform continuous improvement.
By collaborating with participating schools and drawing insights from classroom practice and student participation,
the Manager supports Orang Asli schools in driving meaningful and sustainable school improvement. This role also
ensures that the ASLI Fellowship activities are delivered with high quality and consistency, with well-coordinated
program operations that run smoothly.
