We are looking to appoint an Assistant Headteacher. Familiarity with the needs of primary and secondary curricula would be a significant advantage.

The British School Algiers, the first British international school in Algeria, opened in November 2020 following a joint agreement between the Algerian and British governments, and we are now in our fourth year of operation and have moved to new premises in September 22 due to increasing demand for places. In 2022 we had our first BSO inspection which was very successful and which you can view on our website.

We are a 4 to 18 school, and we follow the English National Curriculum tailored to an International School setting.  Students follow IGCSE and A-level English courses.

Candidates must hold a PGCE or B.Ed. or equivalent. Candidates must also have experience of either teaching in the UK or an accredited British international school and be a UK national.

The successful candidate will have the ability to work collaboratively, building strong relationships with all members of the school community and be looking to develop their teaching career in an international setting. The person appointed must be ready to play their part in the continuing establishment of the ethos of this relatively new school. This post requires energetic and committed solution-focussed team players who can motivate and inspire students to reach their maximum potential. 

We are committed to ensuring excellent learning and teaching in a caring environment. You will find the school a rewarding and friendly place to work with good relationships between staff and students.

Algiers is a bustling, friendly, and cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean, full of historical interest and within easy reach of the UK and Europe. Life for teachers is pleasant with a low cost of living and good shops, cafes, and restaurants. Algeria a generally unexplored country for outsiders and would appeal to teachers who are interested in a country which is a bit different. Teachers are able to save a good proportion of their salary and, at the same time, enjoy exploring Algeria. The package includes a high quality apartment and a relocation allowance of £500.
