Nurse

At Akron Global School, we believe that childhood is not preparation for life — it is life itself.

We are building a school and a team with a clear purpose: to provide our students with a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment that fosters their holistic development.

We are looking for a School Nurse to work closely with students, families, and the school team, contributing to health promotion, risk prevention, and the management of health needs that may arise in the school environment.

The School Nurse will play a central role in building a culture of care, prevention, and well-being, working with attentiveness, compassion, responsibility, and integrity. The professional will also be responsible for monitoring clinical cases, providing guidance to the nursing team, and establishing and overseeing protocols and procedures related to school health.

• Provide first aid and other nursing care required within the school environment, in accordance with professional scope of practice and established protocols.

• Manage and administer medications in accordance with prescriptions, authorizations, and procedures established by the school.

• Monitor students with medical conditions, including those with chronic conditions or specific health needs, and ensure appropriate follow-up.

• Supervise and provide guidance to the Nursing Technician, ensuring compliance with established protocols and best practices in student care.

• Ensure appropriate monitoring and up-to-date information regarding students’ health conditions and individualized care plans, when applicable.

• Develop health prevention and promotion initiatives in partnership with the academic teams and families.

• Provide guidance to teachers and staff regarding specific health-related needs, warning signs, and appropriate procedures for supporting students.

• Liaise with healthcare institutions and healthcare professionals, when necessary, to coordinate referrals, follow-up, and guidance.

• Ensure compliance with applicable health regulations, sanitation requirements, biosafety standards, and school health protocols.

• Monitor and maintain up-to-date records of students’ dietary restrictions, allergies, and other relevant health information related to food and nutrition.

• Support the development, implementation, and ongoing review of protocols related to first aid, emergencies, health, and safety within the school environment.

• Participate in training sessions and educational initiatives focused on prevention, first aid, health, and the well-being of the school community.

• Bachelor’s degree in Nursing.

• Active registration with the Regional Nursing Council (COREN).

• Demonstrated experience providing first aid and emergency care.

• Fluency in English, with strong oral and written communication skills in professional and school settings.

Most schools were designed for a world that no longer exists. Akron was designed for the one that's coming.

We are a brand new school, in Pinheiros, São Paulo, built from the ground up around a single conviction: that the most valuable thing a school can give a student isn't knowledge. It's the ability to keep learning, unlearning, and relearning for the rest of their lives. We are not reforming a system. We are starting with a blank page.

Our curriculum is anchored in interdisciplinary learning and developmental neuroscience. Our language of instruction is English. Our students are 2 to 18 years old. Our campus is 11,000 m² currently under construction. And our team is being assembled now, person by person, with intention.

Everything we build here comes back to our compass:

- Know Yourself Deeply, because no one can lead their own learning without first understanding how they think, feel, and grow.

- Engage the World Fully, because learning earns its meaning through real problems, authentic inquiry, and genuine encounter with different cultures and people.

- Transform Both, because we measure success not by what students know, but by what they do with it: knowledge placed in service of something beyond themselves.

We are looking for educators who are restless in the best sense of the word. People who have seen how school can be done differently and chose not to look away. People who know that character, curiosity, and purpose are not soft skills. 

If you've ever thought "I wish I could build a school the right way, from the very beginning" this is that moment.

Our compass: Know yourself deeply. Engage the world fully. Transform both.

What guides us:

Curiosity: every great learning journey begins with a better question

Excellence: rigorous, generous, and never finished

Humanity: relationships built on respect, empathy, and genuine care

Courage: to try, to fail, and to try again with more clarity

Grit: staying the course when the work is hard and the outcome matters

Purpose: knowledge in service of people, not the other way around

Akron is a rare opportunity: to be present at the beginning, to help shape what this school becomes, and to do the most meaningful work of your career.

We'd love to meet you.
