Description
We are delighted to welcome applications for the post of secondary school teacher of English. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and highly-motivated teacher to work within a successful and supportive department. He/she will play a vital role in delivering our IB Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme to our secondary school students (Year 7 to Year 13).
The teacher of English will be expected to hold excellent subject knowledge and to demonstrate first-rate classroom practice, hence ensuring students benefit from exceptional teaching and learning. A highly collaborative nature and strong communication skills will be essential, allowing the development of supportive relationships with staff, students, and parents, as well as a strong faculty team. An enthusiasm to contribute to our extra-curricular provision will also be expected. Experience of the IB Middle Years Programme or Diploma Programme will be an advantage but not essential. For this role, we are especially interested in receiving applications from individuals with prior teaching experience in Latin America. Additionally, if you are currently on Calendar A, a January start would work well.
If existing contract timelines present a challenge, there is scope for a later start date of July 2024.
