To be eligible for placement on the salary scale teachers must hold a university/college degree and a teaching qualification (i.e. Bachelor or Masters of Education, PGDE, PGCE). Successful candidates will usually have at least two years of relevant teaching experience. Preference is given to those who have worked in international schools and those with English Language Learning experience.

For the Pre-School, we look for candidates who are well versed in the principles and practices of frameworks based on childcentred and inquiry-based approaches such as IB PYP and Reggio Emilia. Inquiry-based experience as well as familiarity with the Cambridge Curriculum is an advantage for Prep and Senior School applicants.

Demonstrated use of technology in your teaching practice is an asset. A willingness and ability to support the school's goals in terms of holistic development and therefore lead co-curricular activities are important attributes that we look for in teachers. Please be aware of this required assignment as it usually involves a commitment of time at lunch, after school or on weekends.

The school year for teachers begins in mid-August (for Orientation) and closes in early July with a one-week National Day break in October, two-week Winter Holiday at the end of December (expatriates), a three-four week Chinese New Year holiday and a Spring Break Revision Week that falls in around early May.

We intend to facilitate a culture of professional growth at BMH. We acknowledge that good teachers want to expand their repertoire and are constantly seeking ways to further develop their craft to an optimal level. This requires an investment of time and resources and support from the leadership team.

Bromsgrove School Mission Hills is committed to organising, leading, supporting and funding relevant and appropriate professional development opportunities for its staff. Professional Development (PD) will be driven by school-wide or divisional/department objectives and will be part of an individual teacher's growth plan. For some, that may include a focus on technology integration, curriculum mapping, differentiation in a bilingual classroom, inquiry approaches to learning, or a Balanced Literacy Programme. In previous years we have invited the Institute of Education, No. 1 in the World, for tailor made courses based on our unique curriculum, sent teachers for learning visits to our Bromsgrove UK partner school, sent teachers to professional development courses (such as ACAMIS offerings), built relationships with the University of Education Hong Kong, organised visits to other inquiry-based schools in the city, facilitated structured peer to peer learning, hired instructional coaches for the school - and much more.

We are confident that the school will be a dynamic place to develop professionally and that it offers opportunities for teachers at a variety of stages in their career.

Thank you for considering Bromsgrove School Mission Hills. We prefer to conduct interviews face-to-face we understand that this is not always possible; as such, where necessary we will conduct interviews via Skype or WeChat.
