Memorial International School of Tirana is seeking to appoint an experienced English

teacher for KS3 to KS5 during an exciting phase in the school’s development and

continued expansion. There is some flexibility available within the role, depending on

the strengths and background of the appointee.

MIST has a growing population about 340 students in K-13 from 16 different

including the Head of English role, may be available to a suitably experienced

candidate.
