We currently have the following opportunities available for well-qualified applicants to start in the coming months. This year we have seen unprecedented interest in our job postings. Whilst working as quickly as possible, with well over a thousand applicants, delays are inevitable. We will respond as soon as we can.

HEAD OF RESIDENTIAL LIFE

This role is a leadership role which can be carried out with a teaching commitment in any available subject. The successful applicant will be in charge of a residential community numbering 200 students and supported by 11 other Residential Leaders. This position is on the Moshi campus. Past experience in a residential setting is required. Previous UWC and/or IB experience is preferred. UWC East Africa is a mission driven school and applicants should have a personal philosophy with a strong alignment to our guiding statements. This role will have a partial teaching commitment in line with some of our other vacancies.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Any applications for either Moshi or Arusha Campus should include a full CV/résumé and the names and addresses (including e-mail addresses) of three professional referees. It is important to include details of any family members who may accompany you; we are unlikely to offer employment to a spouse unless as part of a teaching couple and local employment opportunities are extremely limited. Current Tanzanian regulations mean that we are only able to consider teachers under fifty five years of age who have a minimum of three years’ teaching experience.

As a minimum requirement, all applicants for teaching positions must have a first degree and a teaching qualification that entitles them to teach in their home country. International teaching experience is also desired. All teachers of diploma level subjects are required to have a minimum of three years’ teaching experience at a similar level, such as IB Diploma, AP, or Advanced Level experience.

For many teaching positions, experience of teaching IB PYP, MYP or Diploma (as appropriate) will be a significant advantage, but is not specifically required.

The school also uses placement agencies to assist in our search for strong teaching candidates. However we encourage direct applications and will not be liable for agency placement fees when teachers contact us directly through this website.

Applications for advertised positions should be made online at the following web page: employ.uwcea.org

As we receive many applications for our positions, we will not normally be able to consider applications received by post or by email.
