About Role

EIM teachers are ambitious for their students’ learning and put students first in everything they do.

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.

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.
