A Level Further Mathematics Teacher for a top British School Overseas in the EU

IBSB places a strong emphasis on child safeguarding and is committed to ensuring our students' well-being. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screenings pertinent to the role, which entail thorough checks with previous employers and relevant authorities regarding child safeguarding.

Position Open: Secondary School Mathematics Teacher

We are actively seeking a mathematics teacher proficient in delivering IGCSE and A Level Mathematics, including Further Mathematics. The ideal candidate should have the ability to teach A Level Mechanics and Further Mathematics, along with a proven track record of success, commencing on Friday, August 21, 2026.

About IBSB

Located in the vibrant heart of the city, IBSB is celebrated for its outstanding academic and athletic accomplishments. We take pride in being Romania's first British DfE-inspected school, the first international institution accredited by the Romanian Ministry of Education, and a fully accredited member of COBIS and AoBSO. Additionally, we are the first HPL-accredited school and the inaugural NACE Challenge Award School in Romania.

Following an ISI inspection in September 2022, IBSB was awarded the highest rating of 'Excellent' for the 'Quality of Education.' Notably, 57% of our IGCSE students achieved grades in the A-A* range, while 95% of our graduates gained admission to the top 5% of universities worldwide. Our student population consists of around 500 students, with 65% being Romanian and 35% international, representing over 30 different countries.

Living in Romania

Romania is recognized as one of Europe's most attractive destinations for both living and working. The Romanian populace is known for their friendliness and hospitality, with many individuals being well-educated and fluent in several languages, including English.

The country experiences all four seasons and is home to beautiful beaches, Europe’s last remaining mountain wilderness, and numerous ski resorts located just over 90 minutes from Bucharest. Visitors can wander through picturesque old towns with cobblestone streets, explore a rich variety of castles and monasteries, and enjoy more sunny days than rainy ones. Notably, King Charles III has two residences in Romania, describing it as one of his favorite destinations—being the first country he visited after his coronation.

Romania’s central position within the EU facilitates affordable travel, with airlines like Ryanair and Wizzair offering routes to major cities for under 100 euros when booked in advance, including return flights to the UK. Moreover, teachers often find it feasible to save a substantial portion of their salaries, frequently more than in other Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy, or Greece.

Life in Bucharest

The capital city provides a safe and clean environment for both living and working, featuring an efficient public transport system, including metro and tram services, with a monthly pass costing approximately 20 euros (students ride for free). Bucharest is safe for evening outings and offers a variety of weekend activities. Shopping malls throughout the city host Western brands and restaurants at significantly lower prices than in Western Europe, allowing for a more enjoyable lifestyle.

International educators typically earn 2-3 times the average salary, making it easier to save. Dining out is reasonably priced, with a typical two-course meal and a drink costing around 15 euros, which is why many of our international staff enjoy dining out weekly.

Additionally, it is possible for teachers to purchase their own apartments by the end of their first contract, as many staff members have successfully accomplished this.

Teaching at IBSB

Students at IBSB generally display above-average academic abilities and maintain good behavior, creating a positive teaching atmosphere. The school enjoys strong support from both the administration and parents, including a dedicated Parent Association that has organized thoughtful gestures, such as surprise morning teas, to show appreciation for staff efforts.

ISI Inspection Report (September 2022) - Rated 'Excellent'

In the ISI BSO inspection conducted in September 2022, the school received an 'Excellent' rating for Quality of Education, covering student learning and achievement as well as personal development and well-being.

HPL World Class School

We completed our two-year HPL journey in June 2022 and are scheduled for re-accreditation in June 2025. We take pride in being the only accredited HPL World Class School in Eastern Europe, and our campus has seen significant growth in recent years. This is an exciting time to join our team, with many upcoming initiatives outlined in the school development plan.

UCL Partner School

As the only UCL partner school in Romania and Eastern Europe, we offer NPQ courses to our staff and the wider community. Several staff members are currently participating in NPQSL and NPQLT courses. In the 2025-26 academic year, we will provide NPQLT, NPQEYL, NPQSL, NPQSENCO, and NPQH courses.
