Job Description

About the School - The British School of Barcelona (City):
The British School of Barcelona (BSB) is a leading international school and
member of HMC. A recent BSO inspection judged the school to be outstanding in
every area, including quality of education, safeguarding, pupil welfare and
academic outcomes.

BSB is a large, very popular school for children aged 3 to 18. Our
curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum, and we offer a wide
range of GCSEs, A levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme,
all alongside a significant enrichment programme.

Over 2000 pupils from more than 74 nationalities attend the school and over 315
staff work at BSB. We are based in three locations, two just outside the city
of Barcelona – in Castelldefels, where we have a Primary, Secondary and
Pre-University campus, and in the cosmopolitan town of Sitges, where we have
another Primary campus. BSB City is in the heart of Barcelona, with a
Foundation campus (opened September 2021) and a brand-new main campus which
opened in September 2023. In September 2026 we will open our new,
state-of-the-art campus at Maresme, east of Barcelona city.

Barcelona is a wonderful place to live, combining an
amazing city with beach and mountains nearby. The quality of life is excellent
with a mild climate and year-round sunshine.

The school now has an exciting opportunity for an
experienced Early Years Teacher to join our fantastic team.
