Job overview

Tianjin Yinghua Cambridge International School is looking to appoint a University Guidance Counsellor to work with 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 to students below Year 10 age means that it is difficult for dependent children who are of younger school age and do not speak Chinese.
 

Applicants should have experience with applications to Oxford and Cambridge and be up to date with the UCAS process. Experience of US application would also be most helpful.
 

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).  
 

Applications Close: end of 29th May2017
Employment Start Date - 14th August 2017.

We reserve the right to appoint before the deadline for an exceptional candidate.  Interviews will be held on Skype.
