LOCAL HIRE POSITION - Teaching Assistant (Prep - Years 1 to 6)

LOCAL HIRE POSITION - JAPAN

Are we the right match for you?

Set in the centre of Tokyo, close to the Imperial Palace and the British Embassy, Phoenix House offers a British prep-school style education based on the National Curriculum of England, for international pupils aged 5 to 11. Phoenix House is the official feeder prep school for Rugby School Japan.

If you are looking for a school where you can work hard to ensure every pupil is inspired and challenged, alongside colleagues who show exceedingly high levels of commitment to the field of education, then we are looking to hear from you! We seek professionals who are keen to go above and beyond, and who understand and appreciate the demands of independent schooling, including the impact of marketing, admissions and business aspects on school life.

Phoenix House teaching assistants work with some of the most high achieving and engaged pupils in the region, who in turn enjoy high levels of parental support and encouragement. These factors combine to create an exciting working and learning environment, with wide open doors of opportunity for both pupils and the team.

Our core mission at Phoenix House is to grow confident, articulate young people, through a curriculum that challenges, and a co-curricular programme that builds character and expertise. Each Phoenix takes entrance exams to Rugby School Japan, or other leading senior schools, during Year 5 and Year 6.

Building confidence and enriching the whole school community, our houses - Oak, Rothesay, Snowdon, and Windsor, bring the arts, culture and sports to the heart of Phoenix House. Annual residential visits for all year groups to North Peak, our outdoor enrichment centre in Hokkaido, enliven the curriculum and deepen self confidence through a boarding school experience. 

If you feel excited by the opportunity to join our growing team, in this young, dynamic school then we encourage early application.
