Year 3 Teacher 

(Start Date: January 5th, 2026)

About the School
Maple Bloom has a proud 13-year history, founded by an experienced UK educator who previously ran one of Solihulls highest-rated pre-schools. Building on this strong foundation of educational excellence and deep parental trust, the first Maple Bloom pre-school campus in Tanzania opened in 2020.

The Masaki-based Maple Bloom Elementary campus represents the next step in this vision. The purpose-built school provides a warm, child-centred environment and delivers a British-style education that is engaging, forward-thinking, and internationally recognised. As a Pearson Edexcel approved centre, the school offers both the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), ensuring a coherent and globally relevant learning experience. Small class sizes, supported by experienced Teaching Assistants, ensure that every child receives individual attention and a rich, personalised learning journey.

Living in Tanzania
Tanzania is one of Africas most rewarding destinations for international educators, offering an appealing blend of professional fulfilment and lifestyle benefits. Masaki, a lively and cosmopolitan district of Dar es Salaam, provides a comfortable expatriate-friendly environment with international restaurants, modern cafés, beach clubs, and excellent access to the ocean for sailing, diving, and other coastal pursuits. Its relaxed, international atmosphere makes it an ideal home for teachers looking for both comfort and community.

Beyond the city, Tanzania offers extraordinary natural beauty. Weekends can be spent on safari in the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, enjoying the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar, or exploring Mount Kilimanjaro. The warmth of local people and the countrys laid-back rhythm create an exceptional setting in which to live and work.

The Role: Year 3 Teacher
The teacher will plan and deliver well-structured, engaging, and inquiry-based learning that fosters curiosity and strengthens core skills in line with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and wider British primary frameworks. Lessons, resources, and assessment strategies should be adapted to meet the needs of all learners, providing both challenge and support to ensure inclusive practice.

A positive, motivating, and stimulating classroom environment is essential, encouraging independence, collaboration, critical thinking, and resilience. The teacher will track progress through a combination of formative and summative approaches and maintain proactive, clear communication with parents through reports, meetings, and regular updates. Collaboration with colleagues is a key component of the role, contributing to planning, sharing best practice, supporting curriculum development, and upholding the schools ethos of excellence and holistic child development. Active participation in school events, extracurricular activities, and wider community life is expected.

Requirements
Candidates should hold a recognised teaching qualification such as a PGCE, B.Ed, QTS, or an equivalent credential and have a minimum of three years primary teaching experience. Strong knowledge of the IPC and/or British primary curriculum is preferred. Applicants should be native or fluent English speakers who demonstrate adaptability, positivity, and a collaborative approach. Experience in international school settings is beneficial but not essential.

Salary and Benefits
The package includes a highly competitive international salary, annual flights or a relocation allowance, medical insurance, and an accommodation allowance. A pension contribution or completion bonus is provided at the end of the contract. Contracts are for two years and renewable. Professional development opportunities are offered as part of the schools commitment to staff growth.
