Contract Term: Until July 2026, with the possibility of a 2-year extension thereafter.

Situated in Hatyai, a vibrant city in southern Thailand, Bloomsbury International School Hatyai provides a co-educational International Independent School experience. Established in 2014, we deliver a British curriculum to both day and boarding students. Our Secondary School, which currently serves approximately 80 students, is expanding rapidly due to our growing reputation. We pride ourselves on being a nurturing and supportive team, committed to helping every student achieve their utmost potential. Our students are eager to succeed, and all interactions within the school community are grounded in mutual respect.

We have proudly received full accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS), making us one of only 20 schools in Thailand to hold this distinction.

The Position

Our Secondary department has earned a reputation for excellence in the local community, and we are seeking a new teacher to further enhance this tradition of good practice. Utilizing the Cambridge curriculum, we offer Maths at IGCSE, AS, and A Level. In 2023, a Bloomsbury student was awarded the Top in Thailand accolade for A Level Further Maths. Students from Year 5 and above are encouraged to bring their own devices to school, and we fully integrate Technology for Learning into our teaching. A key responsibility will be to enhance English comprehension across all lessons, as most of our students speak English as an additional language, while ensuring that we convey content clearly to facilitate excellent qualifications.

Our students thrive in this joyful, industrious school environment. They show admiration and respect towards adults, making teaching here a fulfilling experience. We expect our staff to uphold our high standards regarding student wellbeing and to actively promote academic excellence.

As a close-knit school, every staff member plays a crucial role in our team. Our teachers and support staff are hardworking, dedicated, and compassionate.

The ideal candidate will:

• Hold English qualified teacher status or an equivalent qualification.

• Foster positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues.
• Be dedicated to addressing the needs of students for whom English is an additional language.
