The British School of Ulaanbaatar is dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, requiring all staff and volunteers to uphold this commitment. Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and Whistleblowing Policy are included in this advertisement, and we advise all interested candidates to review them before applying.

Candidates who advance through the interview process should expect to undergo comprehensive background and reference checks, as well as provide personal and medical information required for entry into Mongolia. Referees will be asked to confirm that candidates are not currently involved in any safeguarding or disciplinary investigations and are not aware of any issues that would prevent them from working with children. Applicants from the U.K. will need to complete a vetting and barring check before arriving in Mongolia, and equivalent checks will apply to individuals from other countries. Additionally, all applicants must provide certificates of good conduct from any countries where they have previously lived or worked. It is essential that candidates understand that any past criminal activity or convictions on their record will disqualify them from employment at BSU and residency in Mongolia.
