The British School, Caracas, Venezuela
Description
The British School Caracas was founded in 1950 and is the leading international school in Venezuela. We have slowly expanded over the years and, due to an increase in numbers, we are entering a new phase of development and so we are looking for inspirational teachers to join the team. We have 200 students in the Primary Section and 150 students in the Secondary Section. Our curriculum follows the English National Curriculum in years 7-9, IGCSE in years 10-11 and the IB Diploma Programme in years 12-13.
If you are adventurous, committed to conveying the wonders of your subject and would like to be part of these exciting times here at TBSC, as well as have the opportunity to live and work in the vibrant city of Caracas, we look forward to hearing from you! Our teachers are flexible, enthusiastic, motivated, excellent communicators and always willing to go the extra mile. We are committed to educating the whole child and are not simply a results factory (although these are excellent) and we fully support creativity and innovation in the classroom. We have a very strong sense of community as a school and this has inspired tremendous loyalty in students, parents and staff alike.
We are looking for a Teacher of English who can teach Years 7 to 13, with sound knowledge of the (I)GCSE. While IBDP experience is preferred, if you have been a successful A-Level teacher we will offer you IB training. In return, teachers receive a flight to and from the place of hire at the end of their contracts, a furnished apartment and health insurance. Our remuneration package is highly competitive.
Please apply through the TES portal with a letter outlining your educational philosophy, why you are a good fit for our school and highlighting why you would like to work at TBSC (and live in Caracas!). Deadline for applications is Friday 6th June 2025.
