Primary Teacher

We are looking to appoint well-qualified, enthusiastic and creative Primary teachers across our schools under Wellington College China.  

We are looking for specialist, qualified teachers of primary pupils.  Experience in international settings is welcome, and so is experience in multi-lingual environments, and in the UK state or private sectors. Many of our pupils have Chinese as their first language, but English is the language of instruction and becomes the language of the playground and corridors as pupils move through the Prep School.

Our employment package is excellent, with very competitive salaries, housing, flights, insurance and other benefits. We aim to be exemplary employers and have had very low rates of teacher turnover since we opened.
