Edvectus recruits qualified/certified Primary, Elementary, Secondary, Middle and High School teachers from the following countries;

USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland and South Africa.

Applicants must have at least a Bachelor’s Degree and teaching qualification such as a Post Graduate Certificate in Education, Masters in Education or Bachelors of Education. Our jobs are not teaching English as a Foreign Language, and a TEFL certificate alone is not sufficient teacher training.

The school building is fabulous with no expense spared on facilities and the principal is a very experienced UK/international leader who wants to build a team that will grow this school into a world class educational institution. The school will work closely with its UK partner and the children are given the opportunity to experience a British preparatory school through exchange opportunities. 

The school serves Chinese children and uses a blended UK/Chinese curriculum. Knowledge and experience of the UK curriculum is highly desirable but they will consider applications from suitably qualified and experienced candidates with other curricular experience. Candidates must have a degree such as a Bachelors or Masters in Education, Bachelor of Elementary Education or a degree + PGCE. Due to visa restrictions, applicants must hold a passport from one of these countries: UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or South Africa.

The school is located in Tianjin, which is a coastal city and is the fourth largest city in China after Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. It's a major seaport with a 'dual core' with an urban area including the 'old city' that dates back to 1400, and the New Area located east of the old city on the Bohai gulf. Tianjin offers many things to do including visiting the Great Wall at Huangya Pass (including a special section called the Music Wall which makes a piano like sound when you step on it), taking a ride on the Tianjin Eye ferris wheel, walking around the Cultural Square along the Haihe river, taking a horse drawn carriage or bicycle to the Five Great Avenues which is a historical European influenced section where you can imagine what life was like in China 100 years ago, as well as shopping galore.
