Description

Starting April 2019, Kobe Bilingual School (KOBILS) is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic teacher for an international kindergarten and Saturday School position or international elementary school position in Tarumi, Kobe.

Please include a cover letter explaining which teaching pattern below you are applying for and why you are interested in teaching with KOBILS. Overseas candidates are welcome to apply, but should have a teaching certificate with qualified teacher status from their own countries and need to apply early!

The successful applicant will have at least two years experience teaching young or primary age children, strong writing skills, be interested in professional development, and be enthusiastic about working with children, age 2-12, who are developing bilingualism. At the top end of the salary scale, the applicant will be a qualified teacher with experience teaching at an international school or primary school in their own country, and be capable of taking on projects that will benefit the entire school. While a teaching license from a home country is necessary for an elementary school position and preferred for the kindergarten position, experience, enthusiasm, and the ability to work unsupervised within a team are key requirements. We are a small, dedicated team working in a unique and rewarding environment where children have fun learning and the emphasis is on individual progress rather than passing exams or performing at baseline.

Strong computer/technology skills are valued as is experience with curriculum development. Teachers familiar with Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence would be especially welcomed, as would teachers who have aided in the accreditation process at a previous school. We are a small school with typically 10-12 children in each grade/year level. We are growing each year so there are plenty of projects for enthusiastic teachers who are looking to make a real contribution to our expanding school.

Two teaching patterns are available as it is possible for us to reshuffle our team:
1) Kindergarten: mixed age class, 3-6 with level based learning groups, Tuesday-Friday plus Saturday School, aged 6-12.
2) Elementary School: Grade one or grade three class

Twenty-five paid holidays a year including most public holidays. Furnished company apartments available for teachers electing to live near the school at a competitive rent; tuition discounts up to 100% for children aged 2-8 (full-time) and up to 18 (part-time). Shakai hoken health insurance/pension provided. Partial-full payment available for training courses to upgrade qualifications including a possible PGCEi for non-qualified teachers after one year. Minimum two year commitment. Please include a personalized cover letter explaining your interest in the position and school if you would like your application to be seriously considered.

Apologies in advance for not replying to all applicants.
