These positions will involve the development of early childhood and primary years curriculum, and curriculum support documentation.

You will be a qualified early childhood/primary teacher with significant teaching experience, at least 2 years of which must be in a school authorized to implement the PYP. You will also be able to show evidence of further professional learning.

Fluency in written and spoken English is essential. In addition, knowledge of Spanish would be an advantage. Experience in curriculum development, excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, and a willingness to work collaboratively are vital.

Consideration will be given to teachers on a leave of absence or sabbatical who may wish to apply for one of the PYP posts on the basis of a two-year contract.

These posts are based in the IB office in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom and will involve some international travel. IT skills, including the ability to use a variety of desktop applications are essential.
