Established in 2018, JUST FEEL is the first charitable organisation in Hong Kong to systemically promote Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Compassionate Communication in local schools. Our mission is to transform communication culture within schools and families by empowering educators and parents to enhance students' emotional well-being. To date, JUST FEEL has supported over 55,300 students, 8,900 teachers, and 87,300 parents, partnering with over 65 schools to build a Compassionate School Culture.
The Role
Transitioning between school stages—such as entering Kindergarten or starting Secondary 1—is a period of high emotional risk for students, teachers, and parents. You will lead the Compassionate Transitions Programme, focusing on two critical pathways: K-BRIDGE (Kindergarten) and S1-BRIDGE (Secondary 1). Your goal is to establish a sustainable, measurable system of compassionate practices that strengthen student regulation, teacher confidence, and parent-school alignment.
Key Responsibilities
● Programme Design & Refinement: Lead the development of toolkits and "micro-practices" (e.g., "Emotion Check-ins," "Restorative Routines") tailored for Kindergarten and S1 contexts. Work closely with the team to refine materials of JUST FEEL core Compassionate School Programme (CSP).
● Teacher Empowerment & Coaching: Deliver high-impact Professional Development (PD) and grade-level coaching e.g. designing and leading workshops, co-learning group or community events. You will help teachers move from "management" to "connection," using empathetic scripts and needs-oriented responses.
● Monitoring, Evaluation, & Learning (MEL): Use a "short iteration" cycle to reflect, fine-tune, and measure impact through qualitative stories and simplified metrics (e.g., student belonging, teacher self-efficacy).
● Internal Capacity Building: Contribute to the "JUST FEEL Facilitator Pathway" by modularizing programme elements to train future facilitators.
Who You Are (Competencies & Mindset)
We are looking for a "stretched" individual who is ready to grow with us:
● Empathetic Communicator: Good understanding of SEL and NVC, and/or trauma-informed practices. Proficient in Cantonese and English.
● Experience: Background in education, counseling, or programme management in Hong Kong’s school sector.
● Innovative Problem Solver: Able to turn complex psychological concepts into "can-do" classroom practices for busy teachers and/or parents.
● Collaborative Leader: Demonstrates integrity and a commitment to knowledge sharing with team members. Comfortable with public speaking and facilitation to small or medium size audiences internally and externally.
● Growth Mindset: Embraces challenges as opportunities for growth. Eager to learn and excited about new knowledge.
What We Offer
● Compassionate and Supportive Team Culture: Join a team that lives the "Connection Before Solution" principle, prioritizing psychological safety and trust-building where staff feel safe, seen, and valued.
● Systemic Exposure: Gain high-level exposure to Hong Kong’s educational landscape, partnering with school leaders and diverse stakeholders to drive city-wide social-emotional transformation.
● Professional Mastery: Access specialized coaching and training opportunities, including a co-created Personal Development Plan (PDP) designed to align your strengths with our mission.
● Well-being Support: Enjoy generous annual leave, flexible working hours and work-from-home arrangements and medical insurance coverage for sustainable well-being.
● Growth-Focused Management: Benefit from a "growth lens" approach that values your morale and confidence, providing clear milestones to help you navigate challenges and stay motivated.
