Job overview
Not suitable for newly qualified teachers (NQT)
This is a unique opportunity to continue the development of BIST at Secondary level, and to reinforce its position as the only COBIS accredited and UK inspected school in Tunisia. Established in 2012, BIST has the vocation to provide international schooling following the UK curriculum and UK best educational practices to meet a demand for a quality alternative, in English, to the Tunisian national education system.
With passion, courage, resilience and a pioneering spirit, we have been able to secure a growing corpus of parents that we were capable of offering a genuinely British school experience, from Early Years to A-level. BIST Secondary opened its doors, on a separate site, in September 2016, witnessing steady growth with a first Year 13 cohort this September 2021.
It is a warm, welcoming and student-centred school, currently with a maximum capacity of 175 students, predominantly Tunisian but with other internationals, and a dedicated team of around 20 teachers and teaching assistants. The School is located near the northern suburbs of Tunis, which constitute a very pleasant residential environment, including the little seaside town of La Marsa, where most staff and many expatriates choose to live.
We are looking for an upstanding and inspirational leader, capable of taking the School to its next level, and of managing the multiple challenges any growing school faces. If you have the professional qualifications, skills and experience, and are keen to develop these further in our School, we would be delighted to receive your application.
To apply, please see attached documents for contact details.

The British International School of Tunis provides an engaging, inspirational and rounded education for children.
Our pupils are encouraged to develop the academic skills and personal resources that will enable them to live fulfilling lives wherever they may find themselves, while engaging with the cultural diversity of our unique location for a truly international perspective.
We welcome pupils from the entire region, including local families and those from further afield. Our learning environment is supportive and challenging, meeting the highest standards as recognised by the Council of British International Schools and the British Government’s inspection of overseas schools.
Our Vision
Our aim is to create life-long learners with a passion for knowledge and adventure, fully equipped to meet the challenges of a dynamic world.
Along with high academic standards, we provide a sound moral and social framework for the healthy development of the individual.
We value diversity and recognise that every pupil is an individual with individual needs. Our ethos is to respond to each child according to those needs with compassion, understanding and whole-hearted support.
Our location provides a wonderful opportunity to share in the perspectives of a particularly vibrant culture. We therefore encourage our pupils to develop an understanding of the Arabic language and culture that will enrich their sense of global belonging whether they choose to stay in Tunis or travel beyond.
