Detail information about job Primary Teacher Needed - Falkland Islands!. Terms and conditions vacancy

We are seeking a qualified Primary School Teacher for a very exciting and unique position in the Falkland Islands.

Start date: Late August 2018 - an initial 12 month contract will be offered, with the opportunity for renewal.

The School

This school is the only school in the Falkland Islands and educates all the children on the Islands, including those who live in remote locations. The set up is a main school of approximately 315 students in the capital, Stanley; four satellite schools located on farms and traveling teachers who do face to face teaching with children loving in remote locations.

The Falkland Islands is a British Overseas Territory and as such implements the English National Curriculum.

The Role

The role we are seeking is for two Primary teachers who will teach as traveling teachers and live on one-family farms and spend two weeks living with the family and teaching their child/children ( usually between 1-3 children in total). After two weeks, the teacher moves on to the next of their three family locations. Each rotation lasts 6 weeks. When one teacher is teaching children on one farm, the other teacher will be teaching the children on other farms via satellite. Therefore, the combined system for children is 2 weeks face to face and 4 weeks of daily telephone lessons.

The Teacher

Essential criteria is that teachers will have fully qualified teacher status, with a minimum of a Bachelor of Education and at least two years' teaching experience.

Teachers suited to these positions will be practical, organised and adaptable people who have a sense of adventure and an understanding /appreciation of the farming community. You will be comfortable teaching in a variety of settings and self-sufficient and able to work at a distance from the main school site.

These positions require teachers will be traveling independently, due to the nature of the travel.

The Package

  • One-year contract offered initially with possibility for extension;
  • Return air fares provided;
  • A very competitive annual salary with a 25% gratuity paid at the end of contract;
  • Accommodation provided on farm stay during the teaching rotations. When not teaching on the farms, accommodation is provided in Stanley at a cost for 12.50 per night and includes all the bills, fuel and electricity (but not internet)

This is a very exciting opportunity for a teacher to experience teaching in a unique setting and having a very valuable personal experience abroad.

Interested candidates, please forward your CV and letter of application for immediate consideration. Additional details provided upon application.
