Humanities Teacher

Memorial International School of Tirana is seeking to appoint two exceptional and experienced Humanities teachers during an exciting phase in the school’s development and continued expansion. Both History and Geography teachers for KS3 through KS5 are required; the two roles may be split by subject or by level, according to the specialisms of the applicant.

MIST has a growing population about 340 students in K-13 from 16 different countries and accredited by Albanian Ministry of Education. We follow the Cambridge International Curriculum for all year groups, in co-ordination with the requirements of the Albanian Ministry of Education. Primary Checkpoint (beginning 2018-19), KS3 Checkpoint and IGSCE exams are mandatory for all students. A-Level studies, including History, are an option for senior students. Geography is not currectly offered at A Level but may be included in the curriculum in future. 

The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate a dynamic and creative approach to teaching and have experience of teaching History and/or Geography from KS3 through to IBDP or A Level standard. The appointee will also have the necessary skills and vision to enhance teaching and learning within the department and extra responsibility, including the Head of Humanities role, may be available to a suitably experienced candidate. 

Applicants must be fully qualified teachers (UK BEd or PGCE with relevant degree, or hold the equivalent recognised teaching qualifications from other countries) with a minimum of three years experience up to IBDP or A Level standard. We are looking for candidates who:

· Are passionate about their teaching and committed to achieving high standards
