Maternity Cover from November 2024 to the end of June 2025 Our Schools: Osaka and Senri International Schools of Kwansei Gakuin are two sister schools situated in north Osaka that share a campus, purpose, and mission. Osaka International School (OIS) is a K-12 school of 270 students that offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum and Senri International School (SIS) has 522 students following the Japanese middle and high school curriculum approved by the Japanese Ministry of Education. We bring together the best of Japanese and non-Japanese educational ideas, systems, and techniques. This enables OIS students and faculty to make authentic connections with Japanese culture and traditions, while SIS students and faculty experience a genuinely international environment unavailable at a regular Japanese school. We are looking for a dynamic, positive educator to provide instruction for beginning and intermediate band and choir students. The candidate should have experience in wind band instrument instruction, preferably in the area of woodwinds, as well as experience with teaching voice or vocal ensembles. Some additional experience with woodwind instrument maintenance, conducting, and/or arranging music is desirable. As a member of our shared programmes team, you will teach students from both SIS and OIS who have English levels ranging from beginner to native speaker. You will work with other faculty members in the music department to prepare students for concert performances. The successful candidate will have strong communication skills in Japanese and English, to collaborate with faculty, communicate with parents, and write reports in English, and a child-centered approach to learning, and experience in differentiating learning for students. A teaching degree and/or middle school or high school teaching certificates or credentials is preferred, but not necessary if the successful candidate has considerable teaching experience. We offer a competitive rate calculated by the number of classes taught and including holidays. A commuting allowance is also paid. The position is ideally suited to a local resident or a travelling spouse, not in need of relocation, allowances or other benefits that come with a full-time position. The number of teaching hours will be confirmed prior to each term and is subject to change based on the needs of the curriculum. Typically, there will be approximately 15 lessons a week, which will be confirmed ahead of each trimester. This is a maternity-cover position that runs from early November 2024, to the end of the Spring trimester at the end of June 2025. We will be reviewing candidates as they apply and will appoint the position as soon as we find an outstanding candidate.
