Job overview
KS1 Primary / Early Years teacher
Southern International School, Hat Yai, Thailand (SIH) is looking to recruit a Key Stage 1 / Early Years teacher from April or August 2018. Please state when you would be available in your letter of application.
We are a young school, in only our third year of operation, but we are experiencing strong growth, particularly in our early years and primary sections. We currently have one class in each year group from Nursery to Year 1 but demand is very strong and we want to keep class sizes down, hence we are looking to expand and offer a second group where numbers demand it. This could be the Nursery (rising 3 year olds) in the first instance. The successful candidate will need to be flexible and willing to undergo training to deliver the IPC if necessary.
You will be supported by teaching assistants and professional colleagues. There are opportunities for strong and ambitious candidates to develop a leadership role in the school.
Any specialism in SEN, PSHE, Drama, Art or PE would be welcomed and should be referred to in your application.
Our children are mostly Thai and from other Asian countries with parents who are committed to giving their children an international education. Our parents are extremely loyal and supportive, and participate in many school events and activities.
The successful candidate will be joining the school at an exciting period in its development. There are opportunities to develop yourself professionally and personally in a safe, happy, supportive environment. Hat Yai is a wonderful, safe city that provides a great quality of life, and this partly explains why so many of our staff stay with us.
We will contact your referees unless you specify otherwise. Shortlisted candidates will be sent more details including the current staff handbook.
Please read the job description and person specification, and look at our website and Facebook pages to get a feel for working in SIH and living in Southern Thailand.
NOTE: We reserve the right to interview and offer to a strong candidate prior to the closing date. It is strongly recommended that candidates submit their applications as soon as possible.
Southern International School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Please note that should your application be successful a police check will be undertaken in the country of origin; in the UK, a disclosure will be requested from the UK’s Disclosure and Barring Service.

About Southern International School HatYai
The Southern International School Hat Yai was established in 2015 to serve the needs of both Thai nationals and expatriates in the region who wish their children to have a broad and balanced international education. School enrolment currently stands at approximately 190 students with classes ranging from Early Years to Year 11. The Primary section follows the International Primary Curriculum whilst the curriculum for Years 7-11 is based on the National Curriculum of England and follows Cambridge Secondary 1 and IGCSE.
In June 2019 we were awarded the ISQM Silver accreditation, a massive achievement for such a young school. Our report describes us a '"good school" and notes that "Students' personal development and the school's partnership with parents are outstanding." It adds, "Teachers' subject knowledge is outstanding" and "Teachers plan lessons that are exciting and interesting."
At a recent marketing event we had a tremendous amount of support from our current parents, who spoke openly to prospective parents about the trust they placed in our school and the amount of individual care and attention paid to their children by our teaching staff. The students feel nurtured, cared for and have many opportunities to learn 21st Century skills and eternal values. We are a happy school. Please look at our Facebook page to get a feel for our culture.
As a young school we are looking for people who are not only excellent teachers but also willing to contribute to the overall development of the school over the coming years as we make innovation, creativity, integrity, development and professionalism the core values of everyone working at the school. If you would like to be part of a team working together in a professional and collegiate environment then this is the school for you. We are happy for any shortlisted candidate to communicate with our current teachers to get their perspective on living in Hat Yai and working at SIH.
