Teacher of Early Years Foundation Stage

Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi is seeking an inspirational Teacher of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to start in August 2025. The successful candidate will play a key role in the teaching of children aged 2 to 5 years old, as Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi seeks to become one of the region’s leading all-through schools (from Pre-Nursery to Year 13).

This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding teacher to contribute to a thriving and happy school where academic excellence, kindness and innovation drive its provision. The successful candidate will be instrumental in developing a world-class education for the school’s youngest learners. They must be a committed team player who has a passion, expertise and ambition to deliver the highest quality of teaching and learning. Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi will be the second Brighton College school in Bangkok.

The first Brighton College Bangkok, which opened in Krungthep Kreetha in 2016, was named ‘International School of the Year’ at the prestigious International School of the Year Awards in October 2024. In August 2025, Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi will open in brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities. At this point, the community of more than 450 pupils in Pre-Nursery to Year 13 at St Stephen’s International School will move into the new facilities, and the school will be renamed Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi. St Stephen’s and Brighton College are already closely aligned in values, with the former’s focus on an ‘East meets West’ international mindedness and development of respectful leaders, resonating closely with the Brighton values of kindness and social responsibility.

The candidate appointed to this role will report to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Coordinator. The EYFS at Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi includes Pre-Nursery (2+ years), Nursery (3+ years) and Reception (4+ years) year groups. Experience of teaching in EYFS is required, with experience of teaching 2+ Years being advantageous but not essential. This role may also suit a newly qualified EYFS teacher who can evidence both their commitment to teaching excellence through their classroom experience to date and an appetite to learn. This position represents a career-defining, professional challenge for either a current or newly qualified teacher, who is excited by the opportunity of working in a growing school.

The Teacher of EYFS should also be enthused by the opportunities for both teacher and pupil collaboration between the Brighton sister schools. As with all Brighton College teaching posts, the successful candidate will share our aim of developing well-educated, respectful, and curious young men and women ready to take a full, active and positive role in the world.

To apply for this role, please upload all required information to the documents section of the TES platform by 10am (BKK) time on Wednesday 15 January 2025.
