St. Andrews Samakee is an inclusive, independent, privately owned, co-educational school that caters to children aged 1+ to 14+ years (Little Learners - Year 9) and draws children from multicultural backgrounds. The school is in a residential area on the outskirts of Bangkok, Nonthaburi, close to a large ex-pat community and a range of local amenities. We are seeking a creative and dynamic teacher for the following appointment for January 2023. The Interviews will take place in late December 2022 and early January 2023. We are an outstanding BSO school, and ECTs are welcome to apply.

The ability to teach an additional subject would be an advantage. For example, Design Technology or STEAM. 

Are you a reflective practitioner eager to investigate new and creative ways of teaching and learning? 

“At St. Andrews Samakee, kids flourish and fulfil their potential. This is because Samakee sets ‘top notch’ academic standards, but this is not the only reason: it is a school with a heart! Every staff member knows you and your child by name and nature. The teachers are cherry-picked not only for their teaching skills but also for the ability to nurture highly reflective individuals, support parenting dilemmas and see your child as a whole learner.” Samakee Parent Testimonial. 

Do you have the vision to work flexibly with colleagues in a dynamic school that is continually moving forwards? 

The philosophy:

As we hope our website makes clear, our school’s work has been strongly endorsed by a UK accrediting team (EDT), and we have been awarded ‘Outstanding School Status’ in the last three consecutive accreditations. In addition, we are a BSO (British School Overseas), meaning we are endorsed by the DFE and, therefore qualified to employ and mentor early career teachers (ECTs) for their first two years of teaching. As a truly inclusive and child-centred school, we welcome children of all abilities and can offer a range of support services, including EAL & SEN, specialist therapists, and Learning Support Assistants, as well as highly differentiated mainstream classrooms and individualised programmes when required. Another key feature of the school’s philosophy is a commitment to outdoor learning and the environment. Learning outside the classroom is a prominent part of our curriculum. The school is immensely proud of its on-site farm where children immerse themselves in various projects, tend the animals, plant and grow food and then harvest and eat what they have grown. It follows that only teachers with a similar degree of conviction will find our school attractive.

Samakee offers:   

• The opportunity to join an outstanding international school accredited by EDT (Education Development Trust) as a gold standard establishment for three consecutive inspections and an outstanding BSO-inspected school;   
• A commitment to ongoing professional development opportunities and in-house guidance and support;  
• Small class sizes to enable learning to be personalised and pertinent to individual needs;  
• An innovative, British-style curriculum in a highly inclusive setting;  
• Work within an inspiring, friendly and supportive team of dedicated and happy staff;  
• Teachers have the freedom to be creative in their approaches to teaching and learning and opportunities to expand their skills in the areas of leadership in an EYFS-KS3 all through school.

For this post, we are looking for...   

• Commitment to the ethos of the school;  
• Patience, enthusiasm, a sense of humour and an ability to accept and act on constructive feedback;  
• Professionals with a secure working knowledge of the curriculum;   
• Professionals with experience working in an inclusive environment;   
• Excellent communication, interpersonal skills and team working abilities;  
• Excellent organisational and time-management skills;  
• A satisfactory health record and up-to-date criminal record check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or equivalent. 

An excellent remuneration package is available to successful candidates, including a competitive tax-free salary, a two-year renewable contract, local medical insurance, three months of free accommodation, visa costs and an annual flight allowance. 

Applicants must hold the Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) certificate or equivalent and are subject to thorough scrutiny, including DBS or similar checks. We are a BSO school, and ECTs are welcome to apply.

Interviews will take place via Google Meet with SLT or face-to-face in Nonthaburi. Please send your resume, cover letter, referees and a copy of your teaching qualification through the TES portal.
