Head of Learning Support

Wellington College International School Bangkok (WCISB) opens its doors in August 2018. The full Junior School (2-11 years old) will open at that point and the Senior School will follow naturally. The Junior School comprises Pre-Prep, which includes classes from Pre-Nursery to Year 2, and the Prep School, which covers Year 3 to 6. The School will follow the EYFS and National Curriculum for England, enhanced with elements of the IPC as appropriate. Strong co-curricular and after-school programmes are fundamental elements of a Wellington education and teachers will play a very big part in these aspects of the School day.

In common with our sister schools, Wellington College in Berkshire and the four schools that currently make up Wellington College China, we have a strong philosophy of education, which can be summed up in the Wellington Identity—Inspired, Intellectual, Independent, Individual and Inclusive—and the Wellington Values—Courage, Respect, Integrity, Kindness and Responsibility. 

The life of a WCISB teacher will be busy and it will be hard work. It will also be immensely rewarding. Successful candidates will have an honours degree plus PGCE and/or QTS. Further qualifications and evidence of ongoing training or study in the field of education are desirable but not essential. Experience of teaching in a British Primary or Junior School is necessary and knowledge of British international schools an advantage. Being an excellent teacher, as evidenced by confidential references from current and past employers, as well as direct observation by WCISB senior staff, is essential; experience of teaching a range of age groups an advantage. We expect all our staff to be motivated, committed, respectful, inclusive, intellectual, independent, individual, inspired, reliable, tenacious, culturally aware and sensitive, calm, flexible and able to laugh at themselves.

The Head of Learning Support will have a significant teaching timetable and will design and coordinate an outstanding programme of individual support across the School. Initially it will be a Junior School position but a whole-School role may be available in due course for the right person.
