Bring your Skills to the Mountains
Work with us
At Hochalpines Institut Ftan (HIF), life and learning unfold at 1,700 metres above sea level – in a place where education is active, values-driven, and deeply connected to nature. We’re an international boarding school rooted in the Swiss Alps and part of the global Education in Motion (EiM) family of schools.
Our students gain more than a qualification – they develop the mindset, skills, and global fluency to shape their future and contribute meaningfully to the world beyond. With a choice between the bilingual Swiss Matura and the International Advanced Diploma, along with opportunities like the EiM Ignite:Switzerland Programme, HIF offers a learning experience that is both globally connected and locally grounded. That journey is only possible with the right people guiding and supporting it.
As a member of the HIF team, you’ll join a committed, collaborative community that places students first. Our values – open-mindedness, respect, and responsibility – are at the heart of everything we do, and we seek colleagues who are inspired to live those values every day.
We’re proud to be both locally rooted and globally connected – part of the Education in Motion (EiM) family of schools – offering our team a rich environment for impact, growth, and international exchange.
What we offer
- A welcoming, community-minded school with a clear educational vision
- Daily access to one of the most beautiful learning environments in the world

We are always looking for educators, creatives, coaches, and professionals who bring clarity, initiative, and heart. If you thrive on fresh air, real connection, and purposeful work – you might find your next chapter here in Ftan.
