Boarding and Teaching Assistant with Art Specialism

Jinseki International School (jinis.jp/en) opened in April 2020 and is an all-boarding International Preparatory School offering a high-quality education based on the Japanese National Curriculum and the IPC, as well as other international approaches to teaching and learning.

We are seeking to appoint temporary boarding and classroom assistants or TAs - one ideally with a specialism in Art - for the 2023-24 Japanese academic year (April to March) although employment could start or finish earlier depending on candidate availability.

Jinseki provides a bilingual environment by teaching in Japanese and English although one of the assistants’ principal roles will be to add to the use of English around campus and between the school’s Japanese pupils. Duties will be wide ranging and may include:

• Art Classroom teaching (one post) or teaching assistant as required
• Contributing to boarding provision through weekly duties, evening supervision and a contribution to the broader life of the school 
• Assisting in School weekend activities
• Accompanying school trips and outings as well as assisting in the provision of weekend campus activities
• Supervising pupils during breaks and “free time” on campus

The precise number of and type of activities will be fixed depending on the appointed candidate’s skills and background and the standard working week. The posts are residential.

The posts are open to students who have completed a university course and who are considering a career in education or students between secondary school and university. The Art post would ideally suit a recently qualified art graduate looking to take a break after his/her studies.

Jinseki will provide:

• A monthly living allowance which will more than cover expenses. This will be discussed during interview and fixed according to the candidate's experience and background.
• Economy air travel to and from Jinseki at the beginning and end of contract. 
• Board (three meals a day) in term time
• On site accommodation throughout the time of employment
• Japanese national health and accident coverage
• School holidays as defined by the school calendar. 

Jinseki is committed to the highest standards of safeguarding and candidates will be expected to provide evidence of their suitability to work with children.

Applications should be through school’s the Application Form, which should be completed and sent with a brief covering letter to Isara Isarawuthakun (Mr) at recruit@jinis.jp Further details of the school can be found on our website at https://jinsekikogen.co.jp/.
