Title: Geography Master / Head of Sport
Job Ref.: CAS-267641
Industry: Education
Location: Nairobi
As the successful candidate, you would be expected to teach British curriculum Geography from Years 3 to 8 and also to oversee PE and Games.
The school aims to provide reasonably-priced schooling to parents who might otherwise be unable to afford a prep school education. The school has a family atmosphere, and its low-slung buildings and peaceful gardens serve as a haven from the city’s bustle.
All pupils at the school, a day-school, are expected to sit the Common Entrance examination in Year Eight before proceeding to secondary schools in Kenya or Britain.
Job Description: As the successful candidate, you would be expected to teach British curriculum Geography from Years 3 to 8 and also to oversee PE and Games across the school.
You would supervise our team of part-time sports’ coaches, work alongside our head of girls’ sport and other teachers involved in supervising, and take charge of the sports’ timetable.
You would organise fixtures with other international schools for all our teams and take a full role in organising such tournaments that we may be required to host.
You would also organise our annual swimming gala.
In addition, you would also be expected to supervise activity trips that would require a sacrifice of some weekends and holiday time.
Requirements:
- Experience of teaching in a British curriculum school is preferred, as is experience in coaching at least two of the following: cricket, hockey, football, athletics, rugby.
- Familiarity with the Common Entrance syllabus would be an advantage, but not a prerequisite.
- The position would suit a self-reliant candidate who subscribes to traditional values and would appreciate a school that, by modern standards, is proudly idiosyncratic.
