Psychology Teacher

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a Psychology Teacher who shares our commitment to providing a nurturing, inspiring, and inclusive educational journey for every student. Join us in creating a positive, lasting impact.

Psychology is a popular and well-established subject at St Andrews and we are looking for an inspiring teacher to join the team. Class sizes are small and the students are motivated and enthusiastic, enjoying a lively approach to the subject through a wide range of teaching and learning techniques.

At St Andrews International School Bangkok, we believe knowing each child is at the heart of effective education. Our classrooms are warm, engaging spaces where students feel supported to explore, learn, and grow. Our teachers bring this vision to life through creativity, dedication, and commitment to each child’s unique journey.

Inspiring Learning and Development:

As a Psychology teacher at St Andrews, you will nurture the academic and personal growth of your class, adapting teaching methods to meet the individual needs, abilities, and interests of each student. Staying informed on current educational practices, you’ll bring fresh approaches to our curriculum and provide regular, meaningful feedback to parents. Collaborative planning is central to our approach, and you’ll work closely with colleagues and Heads of Subject to design cohesive learning experiences for students.

Psychology is offered to students following Key Stage 5, where all students following the IB Diploma Programme must study at least one Humanities subject, with IB Psychology being a very popular choice. We also offer the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) with Level 3 International BTEC’s.

We welcome applications from teachers new to the profession for whom we offer DfE, ECF-based training for Early career teachers (ECTs), as well as experienced teachers. Previous experience teaching either IB or A Level Economics or Business Management would be advantageous.

Collaborating as a Professional Team Member:

Being part of our team means embracing shared goals and contributing positively to our school community. You’ll implement assessment and reporting protocols with integrity and accuracy, supervise students during designated times, and support curriculum development through regular meetings and professional development sessions. Working closely with fellow teachers, you’ll ensure a consistent, high-quality learning environment across classes and year groups.

Professional Development

We prioritise professional growth, offering access to Nord Anglia University’s CPD platform and encouraging collaboration through Professional Learning Communities, Triads, and WalkThrus. With leadership and Masters programme opportunities, we support our teachers in their journey to become lifelong learners.

Building a Welcoming School Community:

Our school is a dynamic environment that encourages curiosity and engagement. As an educator, you’ll make classrooms and shared spaces inviting and stimulating, helping children feel excited to learn and participate. You’ll engage weekly in extracurricular activities, represent the school in the local and international community, and champion our House system by supporting House events.

Our teachers are passionate about creating a curriculum that recognises the uniqueness of every child, aiming for high standards while providing targeted support to ensure each student is inspired to be the best they can be.
