We are looking for an outstanding Key Stage 2 teacher who believes that learning should be meaningful, progressive and transformative. Our coherent, skills-rich curriculum combines inquiry, project-based and experiential learning with precise explicit teaching, giving children increasing voice, choice and cognitive ownership as they grow. We want a reflective, responsive teacher with high expectations who knows each child well and creates the conditions for curiosity, deep thinking and belonging to flourish. If you are the reason children run into school excited about the learning adventures that await, then we are the school for you.
Our exceptional campus, including Forest School and rich indoor and outdoor learning environments, provides opportunities to connect learning with Brunei, Borneo and the wider world. We are looking for a teacher who will work collaboratively with children and colleagues to create purposeful, authentic learning that inspires curiosity and action. Previous overseas experience is not essential, but a commitment to a genuinely international community is. JIS is committed to equality of opportunity for all staff.
