Commentary

1.  The tutor is the primary contact for the pupils. Tutors fulfil the function of being the

member of staff who ‘knows the pupil well’.

2.  Each tutor group (register class) has 25 pupils. Each of the 4 classes is linked to a single
Principal Teacher of Pastoral Care (Head of House) within the school’s vertical House
structure. The tutor and the Head of House work as a team to support the pupils and the
latter provides advice and support to the tutor.

3.  The tutor delivers the Personal and Social Education programme to his/her own tutor
group. In addition they are expected to be part of the team delivering aspects of any
learning skills programme through their own subject teaching.

4.  Each team of tutors meets with their Head of House on a regular basis e.g. every 4

weeks. These meetings normally take place at 3.35pm.

5.  In S1 and S3, the tutor or Head of House meets with the parents for 10 minutes to talk
through all aspects of the Interim reports issued in term 1 and wider issues of how the
pupil has settled into the school or the S3/S4 curriculum.

Staff Development

It is important to realise that undertaking the role of tutor is an important part of
professional learning for teachers and is essential in our delivery of health and wellbeing as
a responsibility for all. Skills will develop over a period of time.

PhD student in 'Annual cycle energetics of migratory birds

Swiss Ornithological Institute

The Swiss Ornithological Institute is a non-profit foundation dedicated to ornithology and the protection of birds. It monitors native birds, researches their way of life and advocates for threatened species. It looks after injured and orphaned birds, provides information and advice to the public, and runs a visitor center in Sempach. The Swiss Ornithological Institute currently has over 200 employees in all parts of the country.

The project you will be working on is situated within the Bird Migration Unit, which investigates diverse aspects of bird migration using a wide range of approaches, including individual tracking, radar ornithology, and genomics. The project aims to uncover the energetic trade-offs of migratory landbirds across their full annual cycle and to compare these trade-offs among species and individuals exhibiting different migration strategies

We are looking for the following person from 1st of June 2026 or upon agreement, 

PhD student (100%) in "Annual cycle energetics of migratory birds"
 

Your tasks

As part of this collaborative research project aided by the COST Action EUFLYNET member network (https://www.euflynet.eu), you will study energy expenditure of migratory birds throughout their annual cycle based on individual tracking with multi-sensor geolocators. Using multiple species comprising long- and short-distance migrants, partial migrants, and residents, the project aims to quantify the daily energy expenditure of landbirds to uncover the energetic trade-offs and bottlenecks associated with different migration strategies. Furthermore, the project aims to model past and future energy expenditure of migratory landbirds with different migrations to predict how the energy landscape and migration patterns may shift in the face of the ongoing climate change.

Your main duties include:

•    Analyse readily available and new multi-sensor geolocator data to infer migration  
       trajectories of individual birds of multiple species.
•    Conduct fieldwork and aid project collaborators at various places across Europe to gather 
       geolocator tracking data of individual birds.
•    Model annual energy expenditure of the tracked birds at different temporal scale based on 
       locomotion, thermoregulation, basal metabolism, and tissue synthesis.
•    Work with past climatic data and future climate models to establish environmental 
       influences on optimal bird migration strategies from an energetic perspective.
•    Present at international conferences and publish your findings in international scientific 
       journals.

Your profile

• MSc in biology, movement ecology, animal physiology, or related discipline.
• Keen interest in bird migration ecology and evolution.
• Proven record of scientific writing.
• Fieldwork experience with wild animals, preferably birds.
• Background in statistical analyses and programming, preferable R.
• Working language is English, although knowledge of German is a plus.

We offer

We offer a diverse position with a lot of responsibilities in a diversified work environment. Furthermore, we offer family-friendly and flexible working times, good opportunities for further education and exemplary social benefits. The PhD position is limited to 4 years. Working place is Sempach.

Are you interested?

The Swiss Ornithological Institutes values diversity of staff. We therefore consider all qualified applications. Further information can be provided by Martins Briedis, project leader and main supervisor,  Paul Dufour, co-supervisor. We are looking forward to your application (motivation letter, CV, certificates) in a single PDF document submitted over our application portal on our website by latest 20.02.2026. Other applications cannot be considered. Interviews are scheduled by invitation for 9 and 11 March 2026.

About SOL

​Support for Ordinary Living (SOL) is a non-profit organisation that supports people with a variety of support needs and disabilities to choose and create a life for themselves within their own homes and communities.

We believe that life is worth living when the things that matter most are present — love, friendship, family, belonging, freedom to direct our own lives, opportunities to grow, and the chance to use our strengths and skills. That’s what ordinary living is all about.

We work to create a world where the people we support are truly seen, heard, and enabled to live meaningful, connected and fulfilling lives. A key expectation of everyone who works for SOL is that they live and breathe our values:

​

• Do the right thing
• Make a difference
• Take responsibility
• Challenge the status quo
• ​ Look at the world from different perspectives
• Find joy in the ordinary

​

These values are central to how we work — they shape our decisions, guide our relationships, and define how we support both the people we work for and the people we work alongside.

​

​Key Tasks & Responsibilities

​As an Enhanced Care and Support Worker, you’ll provide high quality person-centred care to individuals with learning disabilities who may display behaviours of concern. Your role is to support people to live as independently as possible in their own homes and communities, promoting inclusion, dignity, and meaningful participation - in line with their Outcome-Based Support Plans and SOL’s mission, vision, and values.

​

​As an Enhanced Care & Support Worker you will:

​

• Provide compassionate, person-centred care and support in individuals’ own or family homes, promoting dignity, choice, and inclusion.
• Assist with personal care (e.g. bathing) and daily living tasks (e.g. cooking, cleaning, shopping), encouraging independence wherever possible.
• Safeguard individuals’ health, wellbeing, property, and finances, and respond appropriately to concerns or emergencies in line with SOL policies.

SEENARYO LEBANON

December 2025 - January 2026

Introduction
Participatory theatre and play can transform an individual’s sense of agency. They gain the power to shape their own narrative
and expand what is possible, individually but also through collective action. Working in Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Syria,
Seenaryo uses theatre and play to support people to heal, lead and learn. We co-create performances with under-served
communities, train future leaders and transform classrooms through play. Reaching over 175,000 children, youth and women
since 2015, Seenaryo won the Resilience in Action Award at HundrED 2024, the Arts, Culture & Heritage prize at the 2023 UK
Charity Awards and was one of Expo 2020 Dubai’s 120 Global Innovators.

Mission
By breaking apart the typical hierarchies of theatre and classrooms, Seenaryo creates playful spaces in Lebanon, Jordan and
Palestine where all individuals can meaningfully participate as collaborators, creators and catalysts for social change. We do
this by co-creating theatre with groups of adults and children, by training youth and women as theatre leaders, and by
training teachers to teach their curriculum through play.

Aims:

●  Facilitate skills development by supporting individuals to build social skills, life skills, critical thinking and wellbeing
●  Challenge mistrust and polarisation by bringing conflict-affected communities into dialogue with each other
●  Create wider and alternative employment pathways and professional capacity within classrooms and communities
●  Transform teaching and learning to become child-centred, engaging and inclusive
●  Advocate globally for play-based learning and participatory theatre in the Arab region

Programmes:

●  Seenaryo in Schools: Through the Seenaryo Playkit, we transform classrooms to become participatory and child-
centred. The Playkit is an app and training for teachers of 3 – 8 year olds, which gives them the skills to teach their
curriculum through theatre, games, songs and stories.

●  Seenaryo in Communities: Using a participatory approach to theatre, we facilitate the production of powerful,
imaginative and collaborative plays, which puts participants at the centre of the creative process. We also train
former participants to lead theatre projects in their own communities.

Seenaryo Roster Background
To enhance programme delivery and ensure consistent, high-quality implementation, Seenaryo is launching a Consultants
Roster consisting of external technical specialists across Lebanon. The roster enables Seenaryo to quickly access vetted
professionals whenever additional expertise is required. Applicants will be shortlisted based on CV, work samples and
recommendation letters. No interview process is required. Selection will be based on past experience with Seenaryo or the
quality of new applications.

While the roster aims to expedite the process, the principles of fair procurement principles must be upheld: anyone may apply
to be included in the roster; vetting and selection must be justified based on objective criteria; candidates are given equal
opportunity to bid for jobs where they might be qualified; the process and documentation clearly show no undo bias
influenced the decision; any potential conflict of interest shall be mitigated. All accepted consultants become pre-qualified,
meaning Seenaryo may engage them without conducting a full procurement process for each assignment.

Each applicant must provide their indicative daily rate in USD when they apply to the roster, meaning that it would be subject
to negotiation with the program according to their background when they are considered for a specific assignment. The
proposed daily rate must include all costs so that the Seenaryo programme might only cover travel and accommodation
expenses separately as needed.

1.  Trainers (arts and education)
2.  Facilitators (arts and education)

Are you a talented musician who loves sharing church music with young people? Are you flexible in your approach and someone comfortable with a range of music from modern to traditional?

This is an exciting and well-funded five-year project where four neighbouring churches have come together to employ a musical director to set up and run choirs or singing groups for young people in each of our contexts.

The successful applicant will be a talented musician, keyboardist and singer, with experience of running choirs and of teaching young people. They will be a capable self-starter, able to see potential in each of our different settings, flexible enough to work with different churches and with an appreciation of the spiritual side of the life of the Church. They will be supported in this role by a full-time Youth and Families Worker dedicated completely to this project.

The project’s work ranges from setting up a children’s top line for a choir of an already good parish standard, to working with a church on an estate of urban deprivation to enhance their midweek musical offering.

The post will require regularly working on Sundays and some early evening work. We offer six weeks’ annual leave, a starting salary of £36,000 (£60,000 FTE) plus pension contributions, regular management and oversight meetings and reimbursement of travel between venues.

Closing date: Monday 16th February at 12 noon.

Interviews: Thurs 26th Feb (afternoon).
