Job overview
We are seeking the experienced and passionate Mandarin Chinese Teacher to join our outstanding Upper School team from August 2027.

Scholarship is central to the kind of education we offer. We are looking for teachers whose enthusiasm for their subject is grounded in deep knowledge, continuing intellectual engagement and a desire to share the rewards of serious study. You will enjoy exploring demanding ideas, asking thoughtful questions and helping students develop understanding that extends beyond examination specifications.

Our ambition is for students to find joy in intellectual challenge: the satisfaction of making a connection, refining an interpretation, solving an unfamiliar problem or mastering something that initially seemed beyond them. Successful candidates will combine high expectations with skilful, supportive teaching, enabling students of differing starting points to grow in confidence and independence while stretching our most accomplished scholars.

Operating closely with Harrow School in London, Harrow Bangkok is part of a family of schools in the UK and Asia that share a common ethos and exceptionally high standards. Set within a beautiful 35-acre green campus in one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic cities, Harrow Bangkok is a well-established, globally respected school. We educate approximately 1,800 boys and girls aged 18 months to 18 years, including boarders, and we are proud of our outstanding pastoral care.

Our students receive genuine, personalised care and holistic support to become well-rounded, future-ready young adults, achieve world-class examination results and progress to leading global universities. Alongside these outcomes, we value curiosity, thoughtful enquiry and a lasting appetite for learning.

You will join colleagues who take their own learning seriously, share subject expertise generously and reflect carefully on their practice. We welcome teachers who contribute to a culture of professional dialogue, intellectual openness and continuous improvement.

What we offer

  • Exceptional professional development within a leading international school.

  • A highly attractive package, including accommodation, flights, education, supervision and insurance.

  • An exceptional location, combining affordable living with outstanding travel opportunities.

For further information, please see our Information for Prospective Candidates.

We welcome applications from the UK state and independent sectors, as well as from those working internationally. Opportunities to work with our boarders may be available.

Experience and qualifications

Successful candidates will demonstrate:

  • Appropriate degree, with UK PGCE, or other teaching qualification giving QTS 

  • Minimum three years’ teaching experience

  • Familiarity with the national curriculum of England (plus IGCSE/GCSE and/or A Levels as appropriate)

  • Strong subject knowledge and evidence of continuing intellectual engagement with the subject beyond the requirements of examination courses

  • A high level of professionalism and consideration of the well-being of children

  • Recent and consistent involvement in extracurricular activities

  • Respect for all members of a school community, irrespective of position, gender, age and ethnic background

  • Previous experience working with students for whom English is not their first language

  • A positive and solution-focused attitude to working life
