The specialisms we will recruit for
International schools recruit across the same phases and subjects as UK schools, but the shape of a role can differ. Departments are often smaller, teachers frequently cover a wider range of year groups, and pastoral and extracurricular expectations tend to be higher.
These guides explain what schools generally look for in each area and how to present your experience well. They are written to be useful when you are deciding what to apply for, not to persuade you that any particular subject is in demand.
