Teacher of Music

Bloomsbury International School Hatyai seeks a caring, diligent and enthusiastic Music teacher to join our team. 

The Position

Music is a popular and successful subject throughout the school, and plays an important role in the wider life of our community. As a small school, we have only one music specialist, so we need somebody enthusiastic about working with students aged 6-16. We have had good numbers taking Cambridge IGCSE music for several years.

Our productions, concerts and events are very important to us, and music is central to their success. We need this teacher to play a leading role in building on this tradition.

Students from Year 5 upwards, bring their own device to school and we fully embed Technology for Learning into most lessons when it enhances the learning. One main role is to develop the understanding of English in every lesson, as the vast majority of our students speak English as an additional language, whilst ensuring we deliver content in a clear fashion to enable students to gain great qualifications.

Our pupils thrive. This is a happy, hardworking school. Pupils treat each other well and adults with admiration and respect. Teaching here is a joy, but it is expected that you will uphold our high standards of students' personal development, as well as academic excellence.

As a small school, all our staff need to be an integral part of the team. Our teachers and support staff are incredibly hardworking, dedicated and kind.

Key Information

All international staff are expected to be completely fluent in English and be skilled in the use of technology for education. They are expected to take a full part in the school community, working with pupils in extra-curricular activities. 

The School

Bloomsbury International School Hatyai is a safe, happy and successful place to learn and to teach. The school offers a British curriculum to both day and boarding students aged 3-18. We are a small school, with just over 200 students on roll, yet we offer a wide range of IGCSE and A Level subjects. Class sizes are small and relationships between students and teachers are outstanding. Bloomsbury was founded in 2016 and boasts impressive buildings and modern facilities. We achieved full CIS accreditation in 2021.

Location

Hatyai is located in southern Thailand, only 40 minutes' drive from the nearest beach in Songkhla Town and within easy reach of Krabi, Phuket, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Koh Samui and Koh Lipe, as well as Penang and Langkawi across the border in Malaysia. The international airport offers 16 flights per day to Bangkok and daily flights to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, both of which are only a short distance away,opening up the rest of Asia. It is easy to spend your weekends or holidays exploring this beautiful part of the world.

Hatyai itself is an up and coming city without the high cost of living found in other more well known destinations in Thailand. There are large western style malls and supermarkets, and many bars and restaurants providing a range of international food, yet Hatyai retains a very 'Thai' feel and the population are very friendly and helpful, welcoming people with the famous 'Thai Smile'.
