Early Years Teacher

The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a distinguished international institution and a proud member of HMC. A recent BSO inspection awarded the school an outstanding rating across all aspects, including educational quality, safeguarding, student welfare, and academic success.

BSB serves students aged 3 to 18 and is known for its expansive and diverse community. Our curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, offering a comprehensive selection of GCSEs, A levels, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, alongside a strong enrichment program.

With over 2000 students from more than 74 nationalities, BSB employs a committed team of more than 315 staff members. Our campuses are spread across three locations, including two situated just outside Barcelona—one in Castelldefels, which provides Primary, Secondary, and Pre-University education, and another in the lively town of Sitges, home to an additional Primary campus. BSB City, located in central Barcelona, features a Foundation campus that opened in September 2021 and a newly launched main campus that started operations in September 2023. We are also excited to announce the upcoming opening of a state-of-the-art campus in Maresme, east of Barcelona, scheduled for September 2026.

Living in Barcelona offers an enriching experience, combining the charm of city life with easy access to beaches and mountains. The area is known for its excellent quality of life, characterized by a temperate climate and ample sunshine throughout the year.

We are excited to present an opportunity for a talented Early Years Teacher to join our outstanding team.
