Seeking Secondary School Mathematics Teacher

We have an opening for a teacher of mathematics able to teach IGCSE and A Level Mathematics, including Further Mathematics. Must be able to teach Further Mathematics with a proven record of success.

IBSB OVERVIEW

Located in the city centre, IBSB is a school with a reputation for academic and sporting excellence, being the first British DfE-inspected school in Romania, the first international school accredited by the Romanian Ministry of Education, a fully accredited member of COBIS & AoBSO, the first fully accredited HPL school in Romania, and the first NACE Challenge Award School in Romania.

Inspected by ISI in September 2022, IBSB was awarded the highest rating of 'Excellent' for the 'Quality of Education' provided, with 57% of our IGCSE students achieving grades in the A-A* range and 95% of graduates being offered places in the top 5% of universities worldwide. The school has approximately 500 students (65% Romanian and 35% international, from 30+ countries).

LIFE IN ROMANIA

Romania is, without a doubt, one of the nicest countries in Europe to live and work. Romanians are a warm, friendly people, very welcoming and well-educated, with most speaking 2 or more languages, including English.

The lifestyle in Romania is one of 4 seasons, with beautiful beaches, the last remaining mountain wilderness in Europe, a wide selection of ski fields located just 90+ minutes from Bucharest, beautiful old Germanic-styled towns with cobble-stoned streets, a rich scattering of castles and monasteries, and more sunny days than rain. In fact, King Charles III has two houses here, saying it is one of his favourite places to visit- it was the first country he visited post-coronation.

It is also centrally located within the EU, with low-cost flights, such as Ryanair and Wizzair, departing to most major cities for under 100 euros for early bookings, including return flights to the UK. You can also save a considerable portion of your monthly salary, generally speaking, much more than in Spain, Italy, Greece, and the other Mediterranean and Black Sea regions.

LIFE IN BUCHAREST

The capital city is a clean and safe city to live and work in, with a good public metro and tram system, which costs only around 20 euros for a monthly pass (students can use it for free). You can walk around at night on your own safely, and there is lots to do on the weekends. You have malls located throughout the city with all the Western brand shops and restaurants you would expect, but at prices far below Western Europe, so your money goes much further.

International teachers are paid 2-3 times the average salary, so it is relatively easy to save, and eating out is cheap, costing around 15 euros for a 2-course meal and a drink, which is why many of our international staff eat out on a weekly basis.

It is also a place where you can buy your own apartment by the end of your first contract, saving on rent, as many staff have done.

TEACHING AT IBSB

The students at IBSB are generally above the UK average in ability and well-behaved, so teaching at IBSB is a pleasure, with plenty of support from both the school and the parents - we are very fortunate to have one of the most supportive Parent Associations I have experienced to date, who for example organised a surprise morning tea for all the staff at the end of Term 1a this year to thank us for a successful first half term.

ISI INSPECTION REPORT (SEPT 'AWARDED EXCELLENT'

The school received the highest rating in the Sept 2022 ISI BSO inspection, judged Excellent for the Quality of Education in both student learning and achievement, and personal development and wellbeing. BSO Report Template )

HPL WORLD CLASS SCHOOL

We completed our two-year HPL journey in June 2022 and reaccredited in June 2025, being the only accredited HPL World Class School in Eastern Europe, with the school campus doubling in size over the past few years. In every way, it is an exciting time to be joining our team, with plenty to look forward to in the next few years in the school development plan.

UCL PARTNER SCHOOL

We are also the only UCL partner school in Romania and Eastern Europe offering NPQ courses to our staff and the wider community, with a number of our staff currently on the NPQSL, and NPQLT. In , we will be offering the NPQLT, NPQEYL, NPQSL, NPQSENCO, and NPQH, There is a generous CPD budget at IBSB to ensure that the school remains current, with Educare courses, National College Courses, HMC courses, Cambridge courses, and Edexcel Courses on offer, to ensure our staff are able to progress in their careers.
