University Counsellor - Beijing - August 2026

An experienced University Counsellor is needed at this very high quality bilingual international school in the outskirts of Beijing. Part of a larger international school group, this school has excellent facilities and uses the Chinese curriculum blended with international curricular to offer a whole-child holistic education. The school opened in 2019 with world-class facilities including a pool, theatre, gym, science and design laboratories and more. Western teachers and Chinese teachers co-teach in this cooperative learning environment. Because this is a relatively new school, teachers should be confident and willing to help with its development. Working here provides a wonderful opportunity for teachers who are career-orientated and want to see/be a part of the launch of a high quality, high performing school.

For the University Couselling role we are looking for individuals who are dedicated to educating students, parents and staff on the university admissions process, trends, procedures and admissions testing.
They should contribute to the creation and delivery of age specific university and careers programmes devised by the university team, with the support of the academic team and provide group and individualised counselling for families from Years 10 to 13 with advice on academic pathways, encouraging them to aspire realistically and make well informed decisions. This individual should also support students through application review and submission, university essay support, career planning and determining best fit, including at times of official results released outside of term dates. It is important to be familiar with application processes for universities worldwide and to guide students through proper completion of application systems.

The school takes a holistic approach to every child’s learning and school experience, aiming to develop students intellectually, morally, socially and spiritually. Teachers must have at least 2 years of post-qualification teaching experience in a stable teaching environment. Inquiry-based and international experience is desired. This is a top quartile bilingual school with strong international roots and a parent company with a long history of providing excellent international education in a Chinese context.

They offer a competitive salary and benefits package that includes housing, flights, international medical insurance, an initial 3 year contract and excellent professional development and career opportunities.

Located in China's bustling capital city, an exciting cultural experience awaits. Interested applicants should contact their Edvectus advisor and be prepared to demonstrate attributes that will match you against an overseas teaching opportunity which will demand an adjustment of your expectations and challenge your cultural astuteness.
