Job overview
The International British School of Bucharest is seeking to appoint a Music
Teacher to teach across the school EYFS - Key Stage 5 (A Level). To start 21 August, 2018 (INSETT Week August 21-28). To start teaching Wednesday, August 29.
The International British School of Bucharest is a COBIS, ECIS, CIS Accredited school, with 3 yearly BSO inspections. The school was last inspected in March 2018. Class sizes are small, with around up to 20 students in the primary school, and up to 22 in the Secondary School. The number of students selecting IGCSE Music is relatively small and this would be a focus area for the incoming Music teacher.
The school has a 65% Romanian, 35% international mix, with around 160 students in the Primary School and 170 students in the Secondary School. The teaching environment is personalised and friendly, with many successful programmes set up to support and extend students at both ends of the spectrum. 95% of students graduating continue on to university . The UK is the main destination of choice, followed by the Netherlands. Approximately 25% of graduates are accepted into top tier universities. Behaviour is excellent with little more for teachers to deal with than minor low level disruption.
Staff turnover is very low at IBSB, with most staff having brought apartments and houses, owing to the comfortable lifestyle offered in Romania, a country with 4 seasons, mountains, a beautiful coastline, and the ability to save a large portion of your monthly salary. This is in fact the first time in 10 years that we have advertised a position for an Music teacher as our long time music teacher has finally decided to move on, so this is a rare opportunity for the right person looking for a great school in a really lovely city.
The staff environment is welcoming and supportive, with groups of staff regularly attending Wednesday Quizz Night and the traditional end of week Friday staff social. Staff also regularly head away on the weekends together and during school holidays exploring one of the many beautiful old Germanic-styled towns scattered across the Carpathian mountains, skiing in the winter, visiting the black sea coast in the summer, and taking the opportunity to use the low cost airlines to visit Greece, Italy, Turkey, and many other countries a short flight way.
The successful candidate must have an advanced level of English, be an outstanding teacher, passionate about teaching music, with strong classroom management skills, and a minimum of 3 years' experience teaching the National Curriculum of England.
