In August 2010 our school will open another campus which will be an Early Years Centre of Excellence called the Dusit Campus.· This will cater for children aged 2+ years old and upwards with classes in Nursery, Kindergarten, Reception and Years 1 and 2. This school has some fantastic facilities with interactive white boards in all special furnished classrooms, age appropriate computer facilities, role play areas, sand pits, drama dance assembly space, small teaching spaces, outdoor swimming pool and fantastic out play areas.· It will be a great place to work and be a part of our whole school especially for INSET and other staff development opportunities. Therefore we are looking for early years specialist teachers to work at this new campus. 

Our school community is small, supportive and friendly. The parents seek a stimulating learning environment that will bring out the best in their children and assure them a successful future. Our children vary in terms of cultural, educational and social background, but share a desire to learn and seek new experiences. Our teachers are well qualified, professional and innovative. They enjoy what they do and they ensure that the curriculum they deliver is challenging and child centred.

If you have what it takes to ensure that each day of a child's school life is meaningful, varied and relevant; that each child you teach is known to you and treated as an individual; you can plan interesting learning experiences that meet the needs of both gifted children and those with learning needs; then St. Andrews International School, Bangkok, may be the place for you.

Consider your responses to the following issues:

1. Do you enjoy changes to your routines, living environment, diet, social life?

2. Do you welcome challenges in your professional life including teaching children with English as an additional language; teaching children with learning needs; finding new material or approaches?

3. Are you able to present a professional approach to your work, ensuring high standards of preparation, delivery, assessment and evaluation?

4. Do you like meeting new people and exploring new cultures?

5. Do you like living in a bustling city environment?
   
   

If you have answered 'yes' to the above questions then you are likely to enjoy working in an international school.

• If you worked for St Andrews International School you would be expected to work professionally with children from varied cultural, social, economic and educational background. You would need to consider the child's needs and learning approach. Also, you would need to recognise differing cultural and social emphasis from the parents and adapt your communication with parents appropriately.
  

• Despite working in a tropical climate and popular tourist destination, you would need to maintain a professional appearance and approach. Children in international schools deserve the highest level of commitment from their teachers. You need to balance your exploration of a new culture and country with your professional commitments.
  

• Although South East Asia is a long way from the UK, it is possible for families and friends to visit with offers from many airline operators. You do need, though, to be able to make friends from the colleagues you work with as they will mostly be those with whom you also socialise. Often international school teachers find that they rely far more on their colleagues than they did back in the UK. You would need to be a supportive team member, a sensitive listener and adaptable.
