We are looking for an inspirational, highly-motivated and experienced Head of Art and Design & Technology who will be responsible for the effective and efficient operation of all aspects of the department, including the quality of teaching and learning, the monitoring of student progress and the promotion of the subject both within and outside of the academic curriculum. PLEASE ASK EDVECTUS FOR THE FULL JOB DESCRIPTION.
The school are looking for candidates with the ability to teach Design & Technology to at least IGCSE level. Both departments teach all students in Key Stages 2 and 3 and at IGCSE. Art is offered at A Level as well and it is hoped that the new appointee will be able to offer A Level Design & Technology in the future. There are classrooms in the departments dedicated to resistant materials, food technology, textiles, graphic design, product design and ceramics.
This is a thriving not-for-profit international, day and boarding school, with state-of-the-art facilities set in the beautiful Malaysian countryside, an hour’s drive south of Kuala Lumpur. The School was established in 1991 and there are no more than 1,000 students aged 3 to 19 from over 20 different countries across Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa. The Primary School opened in 2013 and follows the English National Curriculum in English and Mathematics, alongside the International Primary Curriculum, whilst Secondary students study towards IGCSEs and A Levels. Most students go on to study at UK universities.
The school offers a competitive set of benefits to international staff that include a salary (based on experience and qualifications), a financial inducement at the start of the contract and at renewal, if agreed; free accommodation and household bills; free meals during term time in the school dining hall; financial support with freight at the start and end of the contract; flights home annually; and medical and hospitalisation insurance. There are substantial reductions on tuition fees for staff children. The School also offers interest-free loans and provides support for further study. Staff also have the option to participate in the Government’s Employees’ Provident Fund, to which the School currently contributes in accordance to statutory contribution. Staff can make use of various school facilities, including the squash courts, swimming pool and gym. Next to the School is a golf course, which offers discounts to staff.
Malaysia is a rapidly developing country where the cost of living is still relatively low and where standard of living can be high. In general, the cost of living is about 40% of the UK.
