Art, Junior School (with whole-school technician responsibilities)

Repton International School in Malaysia is seeking a superb teacher and leader of art for our Arts team which covers art, music, drama and design. This important classroom role involves two components:

- Teaching across our Junior School (FS1, aged 3, through to Y6, aged 11); 

- Supporting technicianship for our current Art and Design teachers, who each have a senior responsibility and thus need daily support at a low level with practical and logistical set-up and clear-up.

In the timetable for the coming academic year, these roles split almost exactly 50-50; in future years the growth of the school is likely to result in the role becoming full-time teaching in Junior School. Please see the further provided information on the role . As a result of containing a technician responsibility initially, the role may be suitable for NQTs - it would be a superb opportunity to learn from outstanding and experienced senior teachers of art and design with whole school data coordination roles and a key role leading an MIT-linked “Fabrication Laboratory.” More experienced applicants are equally welcome to apply.
