Do you want to live in bustling Bangkok and travel Asia on holidays?
Do you want to work in a small, community-oriented international school?
Do you want to join a great staff & teach kids from over 15 nationalities?
We are seeking a qualified swimming teacher/coach for a small, community-oriented P-8 Australian international school in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. This is a 1-year or 2-year contract (there is flexibility about this) commencing 14th August 2018 which is the beginning of the Northern Hemisphere academic year.
The school is populated by staff, students and families from many different parts of the world, with students drawn from more than 15 different nationalities.
Teachers are incredibly well supported by a lovely Principal and leadership team.
The role
The role entails teaching students 6-13 years of age between 07.45 - 15:15 Monday to Friday. The role requires being a fully certified teacher of swimming and water safety to primary school and middle school students. Ideally, we are seeking experience in organising swimming carnivals and water activities.
The Package
- Tax-free salary of approximately 65,000THB/month (salary will depend on qualifications and experience)

Although the salary is relatively low in Australian Dollars, it's the going rate for teaching in Bangkok and allows for a great lifestyle including eating out, saving and travel. Teaching in Bangkok is about the experience, about exploring a fascinating culture and about expanding yourself as a globally-oriented teacher for two years - or more!
The cost of living in Bangkok is 50% less than in Australia and a single person can live on well under half the tax-free salary offered.
