This is the opportunity to join the Music Department in a rapidly expanding school in Hanoi, Vietnam. We are seeking an inspiring Leader and Teacher of Music with a strong honours degree and recognised teaching qualification in the subject. The successful candidate will be expected to inspire students in the performing arts through exploration, critical analysis, and performance-based experiences. This role focuses on developing students’ appreciation of performing arts, fostering creativity, collaboration, and self-expression, and preparing them for IBDP/IGCSE assessments.

The ideal candidate will encourage students to explore various artistic traditions, forms, and techniques while cultivating their individual talents. We expect the successful candidate to have a successful record of achievement and performance and be a strategic thinker able to develop a strong vision, devise strategic plans and show impact.

The candidate must have excellent communication skills with the ability to establish rapport with students, parents and colleagues. We welcome applications from experienced teachers, including teachers for whom this would be their first overseas post. RGSV offers a competitive salary, annual family flights, family medical cover, accommodation, work visas, free education for up to two dependent children, and other overseas benefits.

Safeguarding

This role will involve contact with children.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
