Key Responsibilities

South Island School seeks to appoint an outstanding Mathematics Teacher to teach across a range of ages and abilities. This is a temporary role to cover a colleague’s maternity leave, which is currently expected to run from 20th October 2022 until 31st March 2023.

The successful applicant will be a highly skilled teacher, with the ability to motivate, inspire and engage with students in creative and innovative ways, both within and outside the classroom – with the overall goal of ensuring excellent educational outcomes for our students. They will be a first language English speaker. Previous experience of teaching IBMYP and (I)GCSE would be helpful, though this is not essential for an applicant with the right overall skills set. 

The successful applicant may also be a tutor, as well as contributing to the extra-curricular life of the school. Given this is a temporary role, applicants must already be based in Hong Kong with the right to work as a registered teacher at the time the role commences.

Please note that we may be interviewing strong applicants prior to the closing date and reserve the right to make an early appointment ahead of the deadline. Therefore, an early application is very strongly advised on this occasion.
