Primary Teacher
About This Role
We are seeking a dedicated and passionate educator to become part of our strong Key Stage 2 team starting in August 2025.
Established in 2014, Bloomsbury offers a British-style curriculum to both day and boarding students. Each year group consists of approximately 16 students, and we are committed to ensuring their safety, happiness, and success.
An anonymous survey revealed that over 96% of our staff enjoy their work, feel trusted and supported, and believe that leadership considers their workload in decision-making. Additionally, 100% of staff agree that student behavior is commendable.
We are proud to have achieved full accreditation from CIS, making us one of only 20 schools in Thailand to hold this honor.
Our Primary department is recognized for its excellence in the local community, and we are looking for new teachers who can further enhance our established best practices. Our curriculum is well-defined and based on the English National Curriculum, incorporating Talk for Writing and White Rose Maths. A strong commitment to, or experience with, Talk for Writing will be advantageous, as our primary goal is to enhance English proficiency in every lesson, particularly since most of our students are English language learners.
Students in Years 5 and 6 bring their own devices to school, so teachers must be adept at integrating technology into their teaching.

The ideal candidate will:
- Be fully fluent in English
- Hold UK qualified teacher status or an equivalent qualification
- Understand the needs of English as an Additional Language learners
- Exhibit positivity, enthusiasm, and resilience
- Show a willingness to contribute beyond classroom teaching
- Be caring and collaborative within a professional team
