• Explain complex biological ideas with clarity and precision, regularly incorporating practical work to bring the subject to life.
• Use formative and summative assessment strategically to identify gaps in understanding and adapt teaching accordingly.
• Help students connect biological concepts to real-world contexts, fostering intellectual curiosity beyond the syllabus.
• Plan collaboratively within the department, contributing openly to shared professional development conversations.

• Proven experience teaching Biology at secondary level, ideally including IGCSE and/or A-level.
• Strong classroom management skills and the ability to maintain high academic expectations for all students.
• A collaborative, reflective approach to professional practice — comfortable discussing what is and isn’t working with colleagues.
• Excellent interpersonal skills for building warm, professional relationships with students, parents and staff.
• Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children; all appointments are subject to satisfactory criminal records checks (DBS/ICPC or equivalent), professional references and medical clearance in accordance with the BISSC Safer Recruitment Code of Conduct.
• An open-hearted attitude towards living and working in Thailand within a UK-style international school community.
