Job description

Nexus International School Malaysia is seeking an outstanding Drama Teacher to join our wonderful school. At the heart of our promise to all prospective candidates is a calm and purposeful place to work, that values high levels of staff wellbeing and high quality professional learning. If you want to demonstrate excellent standards of teaching and learning, with a passionate and collaborative team around you, we want to hear from you.

The successful candidate will be a passionate, well-qualified Drama teacher preferably with experience in at least one of our core curriculum offers (IGCSE Drama or IB Theatre Studies). The job requires the weekly delivery of a Co-Curricular Activity and the possibility of a form tutor role (with time given in your timetable to do this).

Nexus is located in Putrajaya - one of the larger suburbs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Established in 2008 as part of the Taylor’s Education Group, we currently enrol 750 students from Early Years to Year 13 who learn through the IPC, IGCSE and IBDP curricula. We have an inclusive admissions policy and you can expect to teach learners with learning and language needs as well as exceptionally academic children. The student population is made up of over 30 different nationalities giving our school a truly global character. Previous international experience is not required, but the desire to work in a diverse international community is essential.

For further details about our school, please refer to our website. To apply, please upload a two-page CV and letter of application addressing the job description. You must include the names and contact details for three referees (one being your current Headteacher or Principal). Your references must cover the last 5 years as a minimum, therefore you may need to add a fourth reference to ensure you meet this safeguarding requirement.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and first round interviews will be held online during the application period and for a week extending after the deadline. Final round interviews will be held in January. Candidates will be given the package information before the final round interview to aid with decision-making. Both interviews will take place online via Zoom.

Nexus International School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, volunteers and other third parties to share this commitment. Safer recruitment practice and pre-employment background checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed.
