About the role (see Job description for full details):

As a Teacher of Physical Education (PE) at BSG, the successful candidate will be expected to support the delivery of PE from KS1 to KS4. We are looking for an individual who also has a passion for extra curriculuar sport and competitive team development. 

We’ll look to you to promote high expectations for our students, designing learning activities that are aligned to our school’s curriculum and creating a learning culture where there are no limits to what can be achieved. You will foster an environment of respect and progress within the classroom, facilitating learning through activities that reflect a growth mindset. 

About you

Able to adapt quickly to our fast-paced international environment, you will possess a university degree, a recognised teaching qualification and considerable teaching experience. Committed and creative, you will be reflective on your own teaching and student outcomes, seeking out and implementing new ideas and innovative methods to raise the school’s level of achievement.

Keen to collaborate and share your specialist expertise, you will be an ambassador for the school. You will communicate with confidence across diverse audiences and situations, using your expertise to build strong relationships with parents and students. You will also be able to meet visa-related restrictions for China.

Benefits

When you join a Nord Anglia Education school, you join a global community of 16,000 people working together to support our students’ success. We offer you unsurpassed opportunities to innovate and develop best practice across our family, to access extensive professional development, and to gain exceptional experience and career development in our schools. At Nord Anglia, you will have opportunities to progress more, learn more, and collaborate more. 

We offer unparalleled career and development opportunities that come with being part of our global organisation. Our online Nord Anglia University unites our team by harnessing the collective expertise of peers in an exchange of knowledge, ideas and best practice. We also provide extensive professional development through Nord Anglia University to ensure that our teachers don’t just maintain their skills, they develop at the cutting edge of educational thinking. 

Our world-renowned collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, UNICEF and King’s College London, offers our teachers unrivalled access to leading experts in their fields. We also offer selected candidates from our staff worldwide an opportunity to earn their Executive Master’s in International Education in an exclusive collaboration with King’s College London.

As a Nord Anglia Education teacher, you enjoy the following benefits:

 A fast-paced, global experience so that you can progress on a global scale

 An enabling environment founded on creativity, challenge and collaboration

 A culture that is fair and consultative  

 Unique opportunities to grow professionally and develop your career

In return for your passion to promote a quality education you will enjoy a competitive salary, accommodation, an annual flight allowance, a relocation allowance, international healthcare, an end of contract gratuity bonus, a MacBook and free school places for up to two children.

We expect applicants to fully disclose any Learning Support needs or results of educational assessments for consideration, as part of the interview process. You will also have the opportunity to live in and work in one of China’s most vibrant and dynamic cities. Guangzhou (formerly Canton) is a city of over 14 million residents and is an historically important city and the gateway to the Pearl River Delta, potentially the most important economic zone in China. 

The cost of living in Guangzhou remains comparatively low and, as a result, the majority of our expatriate staff save over 50% of their salary and still travel to exotic destinations throughout Asia. We want teachers to feel valued and well rewarded for their efforts. However if your motivation in applying for a position is simply financial then this is not the school for you. If, however, you are motivated by a desire to make a difference to the lives of our peopl then we look forward to receiving your application and discussing this in detail during your interview.

Selection Process

The closing date for application is  April 30th  2022.  Due to global travel restrictions, all interviews will be conducted via MS Teams and The British School of Guangzhou reserves the right to appoint a suitable candidate before the closing date.
