About this role
TBSC: WORKING IN THE PRIMARY SECTION
The British School Caracas was founded in 1950 and is the leading international school in Venezuela. We have slowly expanded over the years and, due to an increase in numbers, we are entering a new phase of development and so we are looking for inspirational teachers to join the team. We have 220 students in the Primary Section and 120 students in the Secondary Section. Our curriculum in the Primary Section follows the International Primary Curriculum and the English National Curriculum.
The Primary Section is an energising and rewarding place to work. Many positive changes are taking place, including the reinvigorating of our IPC programme. If you would like to be part of these exciting times, we look forward to receiving your application. Our teachers are flexible, enthusiastic, motivated, excellent communicators and always willing to go the extra mile; our community is a small one, but characterised by immense loyalty to and belief in the school. We are committed to educating the whole child and are not simply a results factory (although our examination results at IGCSE and IBDP levels are consistently excellent).
We are looking for a Key Stage 1 or 2 Primary Teacher with sound knowledge of the English National Curriculum and preferably some knowledge or experience of the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). A minimum of two years’ teaching experience is required. In return, teachers receive a flight to and from the place of hire at the beginning and at the end of their contracts, a fully furnished apartment and health insurance. A generous salary is offered.
We are committed to Continuous Professional Development for all our teachers and place great importance in recruiting teachers who ‘fit’ into our team. Before applying, we strongly recommend that applicants read through all the documentation.
Please apply with a letter of application that must highlight why you would like to work at TBSC (and live in the vibrant
