MYP Coordinator

Are you the right person to join us in our IB World School here in Budapest and help us continue our journey towards excellence as we develop exciting and innovative MYP courses?

After a very successful MYP Authorisation process in 2021 and the rapid development of the programme, our MYP coordinator is moving on to a new role in another International School. Coupled with the expansion of our student body Budapest British International School (BBIS) is seeking an exceptional, innovative educator to join our community. BBIS provides a 'students first' education, where every child is recognised, valued and included. We are guided by the values of the IB and the mission of our founder: academic excellence by achieving more than you think you can.

BBIS' creative, inspiring educators work in a collaborative, student-centred learning environment. You'll be joining a highly supportive team of professional educators in a dynamic environment.

Successful candidates should have knowledge and experience in teaching the IB MYP & DP. They must hold a Bachelor’s degree or higher with a recognised teaching qualification and have completed recent IB MYP training. They must demonstrate compatibility with the IB philosophy, coupled with the flexibility and commitment needed to meet the demands of an innovative and expanding school.

At this stage in our recruitment plan, the leadership of the MYP is the most important aspect we are looking for. While the MYP coordinator will have a teaching commitment we are open to a wide range of MYP subjects.

Any of the following would provide a candidate with a distinct advantage:

• Existing leadership role within an IB Authorised MYP programme
• IB recognised professional development for MYP &/or DP at CAT1 , CAT 2 & 3
• Experience teaching both the MYP and DP programmes
• Experience in preparing for the MYP E- Assessments
• IB Examiner for MYP or DP 

BBIS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and will check the suitability of staff to work with children. Applicants must be willing to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and overseas police checks (where necessary).

Formed 6 years ago, BBIS is located in Buda, the leafy side of Budapest. Our current roll of 335 students from 3-18 is expanding to a maximum of 480 representing many different nationalities.
