About This Role
We are looking for a skilled Early Years Teacher who shares our commitment to children being safe, happy and successful. We follow the EYFS framework and are passionate about the importance of learning through play, while also ensuring that every child becomes secure in phonics and early mathematics.
Our School
Located in the city of Hatyai in southern Thailand, Bloomsbury International School Hatyai is a co-educational International Independent School. Bloomsbury was founded in 2014 and offers a British style curriculum to both day and boarding students. Our school is small with around 200 students aged from 2-18, with an average class size of 15. We are a caring, kind team, committed to every student achieving their very best. The students here universally want to do well, and all interactions are based upon obvious and clear respect. Parents are engaged, informed and supportive.
We have received full accreditation from CIS, one of only 20 schools in Thailand to achieve this accolade. This is a great place to work, alongside a fully qualified, dedicated and friendly staff team.
We value CPD for all members of our team and want all staff to develop during their time with us. We know that the ability to progress as effective practitioners attracts the best teachers. We also recognise everyone has something to offer and want to recruit staff to bring and share their experience. As a small school, we need everyone to lead and to be part of the team.

The successful candidate will:
Be completely fluent in English.
Have UK qualified teacher status or equivalent.
Have a professional manner and the ability to communicate clearly and well.
Be approachable, knowledgeable and committed to excellence.

Location
Hatyai is located in southern Thailand, only 40 minutes' drive from the nearest beach in Songkhla Town and within easy reach of Krabi, Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Lipe, as well as Penang and Langkawi across the border in Malaysia. The international airport offers 16 flights per day to Bangkok and daily flights to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, both of which are only a short distance away, opening up the rest of Asia. It is easy to spend your weekends or holidays exploring this beautiful part of the world.
Hatyai itself is an up and coming city without the high cost of living found in other more well known destinations in Thailand. There are large Western-style malls and supermarkets, along with many bars and restaurants offering a wide range of international food, while the city retains a very ‘Thai’ feel. People are friendly and welcoming, with the famous Thai smile never far away.
