An American IB K-12 International School in the north of China is seeking an experienced Early Years Teacher or Primary Homeroom Tecaher to join themfor August 2018. Applicants should have previous IB experience (preferred but the school will consider good candidates without this), previous international experience (but again, this is not mandatory) and at least 2 years of post qualification teaching experience.

Applicants should also be under the age of 60 to work in China.
An attractive employment package is offered including a competitive salary (dependent upon the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate) and benefits include furnished housing, utilities, health insurance, annual home leave, relocation allowance, daily transportation to and from school, 7 day paid leave, coffee bar allowance, banking assistance while in China, laptop for school use, and tuition waivers for dependent children.

The school is located in the North of China which enjoys a beautiful, warm and sunny summer climate but it then drops to sub-zero temperatures in winter (though there are local ski resorts to pass the time during the cooler winter months). Teachers need to be prepared to live and work in a very variable climate! The city has a population of more than 6 million people and is growing rapidly not just in terms of size but in terms of tourist facilities such as hotels, restaurants, bars, cinemas, malls and shops with familiar Western brand names.
