About Role

Education in Motion (EIM) recognizes that exceptional and inspirational teachers are our most valuable resource in providing our students with an excellent international education. EIM teachers are ambitious for their students’ learning and put students first in everything they do. They have the highest aspirations for their students’ achievement and development, both in the classroom and through the many extra-curricular activities on offer. Our teachers actively promote the College’s Mission and Vision through their enthusiastic and full participation in College life and their supportive engagement with students, colleagues and parents. A clear focus on learning is the foundation stone for EIM’s six core teacher standards which guide and inform our work with our young people across each age range and developmental phase. They are:

1. Knowing students and how they learn

2. Plan for and implement effective learning and teaching

3. Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning and progress

4. Develop supportive and safe learning environments

5. Demonstrate International- mindedness and Global Citizenship

6. Engage Professionally in Learning and with the Community

We are in search of a candidate with a strong grasp of A-level history courses, particularly someone with extensive experience in teaching ESL students. This individual should be capable of offering substantial support to the team. The ideal candidate will possess excellent communication skills and demonstrate a strong ability to work collaboratively within a team.
