About Boundless Life

Boundless Life is redefining the way families live, work, and learn by empowering them to embrace a nomadic lifestyle that fosters deeper connections and personal growth. We provide family-friendly accommodations, an innovative education system that travels with you, and vibrant communities of like-minded individuals.

Since our founding in 2021, we've rapidly expanded to eight locations across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, bringing together over 200 team members from diverse backgrounds. Our growth reflects our commitment to transforming the experience economy and making a meaningful impact on how families integrate work, education, and exploration into their lives.

At Boundless Life, we believe in the power of community and the importance of a holistic approach to education. Our programs are designed to inspire curiosity, build resilience, and nurture a global perspective. We combine a project-based, place-based learning with the freedom to live and learn anywhere, for families who want more than a traditional school can offer. Our Education Centres are the heart of everything we do.

Role Overview

Barcelona is our newest location, opening in January 2027. You will be one of the first people on the ground, and that means the role looks different at the start than it will six months in. In the early weeks, you will be hands-on in the full sense: helping set up the space, building relationships with local partners, welcoming the first families, and doing whatever needs to be done to open well. As the cohort launches, your focus shifts to what this role is ultimately about: leading a team of educators to deliver the Boundless curriculum with consistency, quality, and genuine presence, in a place as extraordinary as Barcelona.

The Education Centre Director who joins here will inherit something that is already working, and will be responsible for taking it further. This is a role for a leader who can come into an existing team, earn trust quickly, raise the bar through coaching and consistency, and build on strong foundations without disrupting what is already good. You are not here to reinvent. You are here to lead, deepen, and improve.

As Education Centre Director you are the educational leader of the Barcelona location. You are responsible for how the learning happens - not what is taught (our global curriculum team owns that), but how it is brought to life by your team. You know your educators deeply, coach them continuously,



hold high standards, and ensure every cohort delivers on the Boundless promise. You report to the Head of Education Excellence and work alongside the General Manager who leads the broader location operations.

What You'll Do

Educator Leadership and Team Development

- Lead, coach, and manage an established team of educators through structured 1:1s, regular classroom observations, and direct, specific feedback
- Set clear expectations for performance and conduct from day one, address gaps independently, and build individual development plans for every member of the team
- Hold a high bar consistently - this means celebrating what is working and naming what is not, without waiting for a formal review cycle
- Build and maintain a team culture that is engaged and resilient through an intense cohort calendar and a demanding daily schedule
- Contribute to hiring decisions alongside the Head of Education Excellence when the team expands or changes

Curriculum Execution and Educational Quality

- Ensure the Boundless curriculum is implemented consistently and with fidelity to our general methodology and standards - you do not design the curriculum, you make sure it comes to life as intended
- Ensure project-based and place-based learning happen on the ground, incorporating the extraordinary context of Kamakura meaningfully and in alignment with global curriculum standards
- Observe classes regularly and give educators specific, actionable feedback that leads to real change
- Surface implementation challenges to the global education team and bring solutions alongside them

Safeguarding and Child Protection

- Serve as the Designated Safeguarding Lead for the location, with explicit accountability for the safety and wellbeing of children and staff at the Education Centre
- Ensure all safeguarding policies and procedures are implemented, understood, and followed by every team member - including safer recruitment checks, code of conduct, and reporting protocols




- Ensure all educators and staff complete safeguarding training upon onboarding and receive regular refreshers
- Act as the first point of contact for safeguarding concerns or disclosures; manage, document, and elevate cases appropriately, including liaison with local child protection authorities where required
- Maintain a physically and emotionally safe environment across all EC activities, field trips, and ECAs, including risk assessments and supervision standards
- Foster a culture of vigilance and openness where staff, families, and children feel safe raising concerns

Family Relationships

- Serve as a trusted, visible presence for families - including those who are returning to Boundless and have high expectations of the experience
- Handle family concerns and escalations independently and with confidence, without unnecessary escalation to integral leadership
- Contribute to a strong admissions and intake experience that sets every cohort up well

Running the Education Centre

- Team administration: holiday approvals, leave tracking in BambooHR, payroll review, absence management, onboarding and offboarding educators
- Family communication and engagement: daily queries, individual family meetings each cohort, pre-arrival webinars, ongoing Toddle and Slack communication, parent emails, and coordination of the learning celebration
- ECAs and field trips: defining the strategy, collaborate in identifying local partners, managing logistics, risk assessments, execution, oversight, and accounting
- EC operations: health and safety checks, emergency planning and drills, first aid kit upkeep, supervise facilities cleanliness, ensure supplies and inventory are up to date, invoices, and ad hoc projects like classroom setup or conversions
- Food and daily logistics: catering liaison, menu planning, managing allergies and restrictions, lunch coordination
- Events: movie nights and other community events, including organisation, childcare, and communications
- Platform and information management: ensuring educators and the team have access to all relevant systems and student information, maintaining student profiles, managing calendars
- Local stakeholder liaison: community partnerships, local authorities, and supporting any legal or compliance matters specific to the location

The ECD role is evolving. Over time, as the structure matures, the goal is for you to spend the majority of your time on educational leadership.
