Teacher of Mathematics

British International School of Tbilisi (BIST) is looking to recruit dynamic, committed staff members for our exciting and unique not-for-profit independent school. BIST currently provides for approximately 460 children aged 3 to 18 from over 50 countries. Our modern purpose-built campus, extending over 15,000 square metres, is situated next to a natural lake on the hills overlooking the city. The state-of-the-art facilities incorporate many important features that support innovative teaching and learning in the 21st Century. We adapt the English National Curriculum alongside the International Primary Curriculum to offer a creative and flexible curriculum that leads to Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels at Key Stages 4 & 5. BIST is a Patron's Accredited Member of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS).

Largely due to the growth of the school, a teacher is being sought for the following post (for August 2023)

Secondary Teacher of Mathematics with the ability to teach A Level

Staff members at BIST enjoy a stimulating, supportive working environment and pay and conditions compare very well with other international schools in the region. BIST net pay scales are above UK net pay scales and this is enhanced with an annual air ticket, full medical cover, a housing allowance and the opportunity to work and live in a beautiful and fascinating country. BIST funds CPD that meets the requirements of the School Development Plan both face-to-face and online. In addition, international staff have a US$500 per annum CPD allowance that they can spend on further personal career development CPD that the school would not otherwise fund directly.

BIST students and staff are committed to supporting the wider community through our wide-ranging BIST community programmes. All teachers also support and contribute actively to our cross-curricular days and weeks, our diverse programme of extra-curricular activities, and the PSHE programme. Secondary teachers will be expected to teach their subject to A Level and to prepare students for world class universities.

The successful candidates will have recent UK/international experience, be highly motivated, well organised and possess UK qualifications (or equivalent internationally recognised qualifications). An understanding of the benefits and challenges of living in a rapidly developing country is an advantage. 

The successful candidates will join a team of enthusiastic and committed staff in this highly popular and well-regarded school. 

Please submit a completed BIST application form and supporting letter by 31st March 2023. We encourage early applications as we will begin initial interviews prior to the deadline.
