Preschool and Early Years Teacher

Preschool and Early Years Teachers

£17,500 total annual package (salary and housing allowance)

We are looking for an experienced Early Years Teacher for our school in beautiful Thailand. Escape the cold and come work and explore in one of the most exciting countries in Southeast Asia. We offer an excellent package with cost of living a quarter to a third that of living in the UK. Further develop your career and experience the challenge of working within a new international school.

Udon Thani International School (UDIS) provides quality, international education and seeks to become one of the leading schools in the Northeast of Thailand. UDIS uses England’s Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and inquiry based learning to teach students from preschool to primary levels. In 2015, the school will have classes from preschool to Year 5.

As such, we require an experienced Early Years teacher to join our team and create a challenging play-based learning environment for our students. This vacancy suits a candidate looking for a challenging, exceptional and unique opportunity within a newly established school.

Candidates must meet the following criteria:

• Have educational training from England, USA, Canada, New Zealand or Australia
• Be a fully qualified teacher
• Have proven experience working in Early Years

It would be advantageous for the candidate to have the following:

• Experience of the International Baccalaureate
• ICT experience and applications for student learning
• Knowledge of project based and inquiry learning methodologies
• Experience in international school environments
• First aid qualifications

Experience in teaching the International Baccalaureate is an advantage, however what is more important is the willingness to recognise the diversity that exists in the student body and not to teach from a mono-cultural perspective. We are primarily looking for teachers who will be able to inspire in their students a love for learning.

Teachers are expected to be efficient, professional, good team members and ambassadors for the School. All staff are issued with a job description and will be appraised accordingly.

UDIS is a friendly school where teachers are valued and looked after. We will do our best to support you and help you flourish at our school because we believe happy teachers can deliver the best education to our students.

As such, we offer a professional working environment and an attractive remuneration and benefits package which include:

• Competitive salary package commensurate with experience and qualifications
• 10,000 baht per month accommodation allowance
• Annual professional development allowance
• Health insurance
• Visas and work permits to work in Thailand
• Placement of any accompanying children
• Daily school lunches and snacks
• 2 year contract
• One return ticket to home country per contract

To apply, please contact the UDIS Head of School, Lindsay Stuart, at recruitment@udis.ac.th with a cover letter and your resume. The position has an urgent start date of late August.
