We are seeking teachers who genuinely love working with young people, who care about their attainment, who sincerely want to spend time with children and who will go the extra mile, seeing teaching as a vocation.

We wish to appoint teachers who embrace a high degree of integration between their personal and professional lives; teachers who young people like being with and who enjoy the fellowship of colleagues. Those we appoint relish being part of the wider school community and give generously and willingly their time.

Successful Harrow Chongqing teachers will have a passion for the craft of teaching. They are reflective and are risk takers, willing to try new ideas if they think it will benefit their students. They have all-round abilities and interests that support excellence both in the classroom and our Leadership and Service (extra-curricular) programmes. They will be confident users of digital technologies.

We are looking for experienced, dynamic teachers who believe in an education that ensures each child reaches their academic potential through outstanding teaching and individualised pastoral support, a widely enriched school life and learning through service – and teachers who passionately want to work and live in this kind of environment.
