Chemistry Teacher (IGCSE & A-Level) at Wellington College Bangkok in Saphan Sung District
Wellington College International Bangkok (WCIB) is seeking an exceptional Chemistry teacher to join its Senior School from August 2027, delivering the UK curriculum from Year 7 through to IGCSE and A-Level in one of Asia’s most prestigious international schools.
Job Description
This is a full-time Chemistry teaching post covering Year 7 through to Sixth Form, encompassing IGCSE and A-Level programmes. The successful candidate will be expected to plan and deliver rigorous, inspiring lessons that challenge students and drive outstanding academic outcomes — not simply replicate conventional practice, but continuously refine and elevate it.
- Teach Chemistry across year groups from Year 7 to Year 13 (IGCSE and A-Level)
- Serve as a House Tutor within WCIB’s House System, which plays a central role in Senior School life
- Contribute meaningfully to enrichment activities delivered during timetabled school sessions
- Support co-curricular life at the school, including sport and other extracurricular programmes
- Collaborate with colleagues to raise standards, innovate in teaching practice, and deliver exceptional pupil progress
Wellington College Bangkok is a lively, ambitious day school with an unwavering commitment to academic excellence and the holistic development of every student. Teachers here are expected to bring energy, dedication and a genuine desire to do things better — not just effectively, but exceptionally.
Requirements
- UK teaching qualification is essential
- Demonstrable experience teaching in top British schools — in the UK (independent or state sector) or in a British international school setting
- Strong subject knowledge and proven ability to deliver at IGCSE and A-Level
- A commitment to continuous improvement, professional growth and high-impact teaching
- Willingness to contribute to school life beyond the classroom, including pastoral duties as a House Tutor
- A genuine enthusiasm for enrichment, sport and extracurricular engagement
Candidates who simply seek a comfortable posting in a warm climate without the drive to push standards higher are advised that WCIB is not the right fit. The school values ambition, commitment and a relentless pursuit of excellence above all.
All successful candidates will be required to provide a current criminal clearance check from their home country or current country of residence. Full career history checks — both national and international — will also be conducted as part of WCIB’s safeguarding commitment.
Benefits
- Competitive salary package commensurate with qualifications and experience
- A world-class campus set in expansive green surroundings in Krungthep Kreetha, Bangkok
- The professional prestige of joining one of the most highly regarded British international schools in Southeast Asia
- Access to outstanding facilities in a modern, purpose-built environment
About the School
Originally founded by Queen Victoria in 1859 to honour the Duke of Wellington, Wellington College has grown into one of the UK’s leading independent schools — described by Tatler as “clearly a leader in the world of education.” Wellington College International Bangkok opened in 2018 and has expanded steadily, with its first Sixth Form cohort launching in September 2024. The school now caters to around 1,600 students aged 2–18 and holds full COBIS Patron’s Accreditation (achieved in its first year of operation), FOBISIA membership and CIS Accreditation — a remarkable set of credentials for a relatively young institution.
The campus is located in the Krungthep Kreetha area of Bangkok, equidistant between the city centre and Bangkok International Airport, alongside the Unico Grande Golf Course. Its architecture blends contemporary design with nods to both Wellington College Berkshire and Thai cultural heritage.
