Job overview

Tianjin Yinghua Cambridge International School is  looking to appoint a teacher of Chemistry to teach CIE IGCSE and  A  Level for students in Years 10 to Year 13 for the academic year  beginning mid August 2017.
 

Tianjin Yinghua Cambridge  International School (TYCIS) is part of a state-owned but  independently-run school which is well resourced and with good  facilities. It consists of 4 schools under the main school umbrella  (Tianjin Yinghua International School) of which TYCIS is the flagship  programme.  We are currently seeking excellent teachers to join us due  to our expansion.
 

This is an opportunity to work in a wonderful  school that is now growing and developing.  The students are excellent,  as are their results; IGCSE A*-B 91%, A level A*-B 85%, with 3 students  receiving the prestigious  CIE “Top in the World” Outstanding Learner  awards in both 2015 and again in 2016. The school is academically  selective and is now in its fourth year of operation as part of the much  larger Yinghua International School. All of our graduates went on to  world class universities in the UK, US and elsewhere. Therefore we are  seeking highly experienced and enthusiastic and professional teachers to  meet the needs of our exceptionally self motivated students.
 

Tianjin  Yinghua Cambridge International School (TYCIS) offers IGCSE, AS and A  Level programmes to students of Year 10 to Year 13 only. This is  therefore a unique opportunity for teachers who wish to work only with  students post Year 10.  Whilst the school is a boarding school, our  expat teaching staff have no responsibilities or duties with regard to  this aspect of the school.
 

Our teachers are well rewarded,  treated with respect and receive generous salaries and benefits in line  with other top international schools. An indicator of the satisfaction  of our staff  is that staff turnover rate for the last 2 years has been  extremely low.
 

The school is expanding and is at an exciting  phase in its development. Teachers who enjoy introducing new subjects,  developing courses and having a real impact on the direction of the  school are encouraged to apply to become part of our team.
 

The  working environment is pleasant and the school is located in a pleasant  area of Wuqing a suburb of Tianjin, China’s fourth largest city. Tianjin  is just 11 minutes away by high speed train and Beijing 22 minutes.  Trains are fast, reliable, efficient, clean and cheap!
 

Due to the  lack of English based education for students below Year 10 age means  that it is difficult for dependent children who are of younger school  age and do not speak Chinese.
 

All teachers should have a teaching qualification and a minimum of 2 years experience in IGCSE, GCSE and/or A Level programmes.
 

Applications  should be submitted as soon as possible with a FULL CV, including date  of birth, marital status,  a recent photograph, a covering letter of no  more than 2 sides of A4, including your contact details and Skype  details. The names and contact details of 2 professional referees (one  of whom should be your current employer) should also be included (these  will only be contacted where teachers are shortlisted).  
 

Due to  the large number of applications we receive, if you have not heard from  us by the 14th Aprilyou can assume that you have been unsuccessful  on this occasion. We reserve the right to appoint before the deadline  for an exceptional candidate.
 

Interviews will be by Skype or in person.
 

Applications Close: 7th April 2017  
 Employment Start Date - 12th August 2017
