Mathematics Teacher

Bloomsbury International School Hatyai seeks a caring, diligent and enthusiastic Maths teacher to join our team for the next academic year.

Job starts: August 14th 2023 or as soon as possible

Location: Hatyai, Thailand.

Contract Type: Full Time

Contract Term: 2 years, with a further 2-year contract extension available thereafter.

Principal: Mr. John Calvert

Located in the city of Hatyai in southern Thailand, Bloomsbury International School Hatyai is a co-educational International Independent School. Bloomsbury was founded in 2016 and offers a British style curriculum to both day and boarding students. Our Secondary School is small with around 70 students, but this is expanding on a weekly basis due to our growing reputation. We are a caring, kind team, committed to every student achieving their very best. The students here universally want to do well, and all interactions are based upon obvious and clear respect.

Last year, we received our full accreditation from CIS, one of only 20 schools in Thailand to achieve this highest accolade.

**The Position**

The Secondary department has gained a reputation for excellence within the local community and we wish the new teacher to develop that good practice still further. This new post will enable us to have separate groups for core and extended maths for the first time and to provide specialist teaching for all maths classes. In the first year at least this teacher will also need to offer either science or humanities in lower secondary, or IGCSE geography. This post might also suit a primary maths specialist looking to move into the secondary phase.

Pupils from Year 5 upwards, bring their own device to school and we fully embed Technology for Learning into most lessons, but only when it enhances the learning. One main role is to develop the understanding of English into every lesson, as the vast majority of our students speak English as an additional language, whilst ensuring we deliver content in a clear fashion to enable students to gain great qualifications.

Our pupils thrive here. This is a happy, hardworking school where students treat adults with admiration and respect. Teaching here is a joy, but it is expected that you will uphold our high standards supporting students' personal development, as well as their academic excellence.

As a small school, all our staff need to be an integral part of the team. Our teachers and support staff are incredibly hardworking, dedicated and kind.

**Key Information**

All international staff are expected to be completely fluent in English and be skilled in the use of technology for education. They are expected to take a full part in the school community, working with pupils in extra-curricular activities.
- Have English qualified teacher status or equivalent. We cannot obtain work visas for teachers without this.
- Have a professional manner and the ability to communicate clearly and well
- Be approachable, knowledgeable and committed to academic and personal excellence
- Be kind, thoughtful and have a well developed sense of humour

**Location**

Hatyai is an up and coming small city without the high cost of living found in other more frequented destinations in Thailand. Hatyai does not have the thriving nightlife scene of Bangkok but there are bars, music venues and restaurants serving a range of Western, Asian and local food. However, there are not the throngs of western tourists. or expats (there are only around 500 in the whole of Songkhla province). As a professional in Thailand you are respected by the whole community and you can fully expect this in Hatyai which has a very 'Thai' feel with a local population who are friendly and helpful, welcoming people with the famous 'Thai Smile'.

This is a small school, in a small expat community, you must be able to work and socialise alongside your colleagues, without falling out or falling into cliques.
