Description du poste

Established in 1972, BEPS International School has spent over 50 years nurturing confident, independent learners and global citizens in the heart of Brussels. Set close to the Bois de la Cambre in one of the city’s most welcoming neighbourhoods, our school serves around 300 students aged 2.5 to 18, drawn from more than 50 nationalities. When you join BEPS, you join a family.
Our inquiry-based learning journey spans three distinct yet connected stages — Early Years (IEYC, ages 2.5–5), Primary (IPC, Years 1–6), and Secondary (IB Middle Years Programme, IB Diploma, and IB Career-related Programme) — all woven together by shared values of curiosity, care, and community.
At BEPS, we are committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) in everything we do. Our Learning Support team is central to this commitment: working alongside classroom teachers, counsellors, and specialist colleagues to ensure every child — whatever their learning profile — can engage meaningfully with our curriculum and thrive.

About the Role

This is a whole-school Learning Support position, spanning Early Years, Primary, and Secondary. It is a rare and exciting opportunity for a specialist who thrives on variety — supporting a toddler’s earliest literacy steps one morning, and coaching an IB student through executive functioning strategies the next.
You will be a key member of our Learning Support team, working closely with students, classroom teachers, parents, and external professionals to identify needs, design targeted support, and ensure every learner has equitable access to a rich and challenging education. At BEPS, learning support is not a separate strand — it is woven into the fabric of our school’s daily life.
