While this is an organisation committed to academic excellence, we believe that this is only possible if we are also committed to the personal and professional growth of our staff.

To join our team we are looking for a well-qualified and talented Senior School Mathematics Teacher who has a passion for the teaching and learning of Mathematics. The successful candidate will have excellent subject knowledge, and the ability to make the subject come alive with inspirational and interactive lessons which challenge and support all pupils to secure the best possible outcomes. Training and experience of teaching IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme Mathematics courses, whilst not essential, will be regarded positively.

All staff at ParK IS are actively involved in the pastoral life of school. The role will also offer the opportunity for contribution to co-curricular clubs and enrichment.

The successful candidate will:

· Be well qualified, enthusiastic and dedicated

· Be an excellent classroom practitioner who can ensure good progress for all students

· Have a vision for what outstanding teaching and learning looks like

· Have excellent organisational skills

· Have a positive attitude and approach to change and development

. Availability to start in September 2022.

We offer:

· A wonderful new working environment with excellent resources

· Supportive colleagues and community

· Enthusiastic and motivated pupils that are taught in small class sizes

· Excellent professional development opportunities within the school and wider Inspired group

· Complimentary lunches in the Dining Hall during term time

This is an exciting opportunity to join a flourishing 1-18 co-educational day school, part of the Inspired group of schools. PaRK IS is a recently accredited IB World School and you have a chance to join us on a brand new school site (opened Sept 2020) and take our first cohort on their journey towards the IB Diploma programme final examinations. It is an enormously exciting time for the school.

If you are passionate about the life chances of young people and possess the expertise required to teach in an environment where children of mixed abilities excel, then we would love to hear from you.

We are passionate about supporting personal and professional development. As an Inspired School, there are longer term career opportunities that exist in a company where our colleagues share ideas and practices from around the world. Inspired is an international family of over 60 schools on five continents.

HOW TO APPLY:

Please follow the TES link to put forward your application to join our School.  For safer recruitment purposes we can only accept applications on the official school application form.  Please also attach a supporting statement clearly outlining why you are interested in our school and the specific vacancy.  The closing date for applications is Friday 3rd December 2021 at 6:00 pm (Lisbon time).

First-round telephone or online interviews will take place on a rolling basis.  Shortlisted candidates will be invited to the Inspired Recruitment Event in January 2022 - further details are provided below.  The presence of the shortlisted candidates at the Inspired Recruitment Event is not mandatory, therefore candidates who cannot be present will also be considered for the recruitment process.


THE INSPIRED RECRUITMENT EVENT IN JANUARY 2022

Because we take so much care in selecting great teachers to join us, and we know that often decisions to join a school or potentially move countries should be done with proper consideration, we will be looking to invite any candidate who applies and is shortlisted to a recruitment event, hosted in our London School, Fulham.

This event will take place over the 08th and 09th January 2022 and will be hosted by a number of our top international Headteachers and Principals.

At this event, we will provide the opportunity for candidates to ask questions to experts about any visa or relocation processes, the curriculum or any other questions they may have as part of the joining process.  

Applicants who attend are expected to bring along official identification to the event.

Inspired Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff, volunteers and other third parties to share this commitment. Safer recruitment practice and pre-employment background checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.

Welcome to PaRK International School!

We are highly committed to our mission of guiding and inspiring students to be successful and happy in their adult lives.

We work together to have a global impact in the field of education. We have a passion for education, innovation and technology. We view technology as a global language and believe that understanding it allows our students to interact and impact the global society.

We mentor our students to give their best effort and become leaders that influence and inspire those around them. Although we can never be certain about the future, we may already predict that this type of leadership will require our students to respond to an international and rigorous environment and work across cultures and borders. Technology coupled with an innovative mind-set will allow our students to navigate confidently through the world in this manner. In order to achieve this, we expect our staff and students to practice a hard-working, curious and resilient mind-set. We work hard to create an open-minded and rigorous learning environment for our students and staff, that brings together different people, cultures and ideas. We believe that each student is unique and deserves to be treated likewise; we use individualised teaching and learning practices in order to respond to this idea. We encourage every student to give his/her best in every subject.

PaRK IS’ culture and ethics is grounded on a firm belief in teamwork and research. We constantly look for the best practices to put our mission and curriculum in action in a meaningful way.

We are very proud of the community we have built. We work towards the purpose of changing educational paradigms together. This high level of commitment practiced by all of us is what makes PaRK IS a successful company and unique school with a motivated staff and student body.

This school is focused on the mind and heart of its staff and students. Students will leave our school prepared for academic excellence, proficient in more than one language and comfortable with exploring their own academic curiosity through research and exploration. Students will make lifelong friends and learn about the importance of service within one’s neighbourhood and the World. We are determined to guide each student in overcoming their individual challenges by using and developing their strengths and by working hard. Students will learn to embrace failures as necessary steps of growth. They will learn to be comfortable stepping out of their comfort zones and constantly challenge themselves. Practicing these values of academic excellence and personal growth will guide our students to live a productive and happy life.

Together, teachers, staff and students explore exciting academic and personal journeys and frontiers. Welcome to PaRK IS!
