Are you passionate about your profession, inspired by working with children, and ready to make a lasting impact on the lives of others, all in the unique and magical setting of Yangon? If so, then BSY may have the perfect opportunity for you. We are looking for a Head of Secondary with a proven enthusiastic, collaborative, professional, energetic, and adventurous approach to learning and life. If this sounds like you, then read on

We are a small school with undoubtedly the best facilities in the city. Our purpose-built spacious and extensively resourced campus is the envy of other international schools. We offer a genuine and personalised approach to both our students’ learning and our teachers’ wellbeing and professional development.

Yangon is an intriguing city to be based in; it’s celebrated for its lush greenery, welcoming atmosphere, and delightful people. It is also ‘green’ on the FCDO travel advisory map, meaning that there are currently no advisories against travel here.

At BSY, our staff enjoy being part of a small, close-knit school community with a personalised approach to both student learning and staff development and wellbeing. If you’re ready to inspire, grow, and thrive in an exceptional environment, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

Reporting directly to the Principal, you will be a key member of the School Leadership Team, providing direction, inspiration, and guidance to our Secondary teaching staff and playing a significant role in strategic planning. Focused on developing a high-performing team, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the school including staff development, performance management, and deployment. You will also be responsible for developing creative and innovative learning experiences and opportunities to enhance our already high standards of academic attainment and progress. This role would suit both experienced deputy heads yearning for something a little different and those ready to develop their leadership skills further.

About you

With the ability to drive excellence by valuing and developing others, you will be a qualified teacher with experience in both hands-on teaching and management in education. This means you will be fully up to date with curriculum developments. Strong on leadership and people management, you will have a flair for bringing people with you, setting and meeting challenging performance targets and engaging with parents and students alike.

Able to work with a high degree of cultural sensitivity in our changing and fast-paced international environment, you will have the ability to use a range of communication strategies and channels. A strong ambassador for the school, you will be able to develop new ways to engage students and parents with the wider school and Nord Anglia Education community. You will possess a university degree, a recognised teaching qualification, and considerable teaching experience. Committed and creative, you will be reflective on your own teaching and student outcomes, seeking out and implementing new ideas and innovative methods to raise the school’s level of achievement.

Keen to collaborate and share your specialist expertise, you will be a fitting ambassador for the school. You will communicate with confidence across diverse audiences and situations, using your expertise to build strong relationships with parents and students. You will also be able to meet visa-related restrictions for Yangon, Myanmar, including having a bachelor’s degree and teaching certificate.

PERSONAL QUALITIES SOUGHT

  • Values-led approach; integrity and honesty are paramount
  • Reliability, loyalty, and commitment
  • Personal confidence and presence
  • Energetic and positive with a ‘can-do’ approach
  • Effective communication skills, both orally and in writing
  • Approachable to all and able to ‘bring people with you
  • Sense of humour and grace under pressure
  • Ability to understand complex issues and solve problems
  • Able to manage own time and prioritise; organized
  • Flexible and adaptable; able to handle uncertainty

Selection Process

The closing date for applications is Monday 9th December 2024.

Start Date: 1st of August 2025

At Nord Anglia Education, we are committed to providing a world-class, safe, happy environment in which children and young people can thrive and learn. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all our pupils irrespective of race, ability, religion, gender, or culture.

BSY is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
