Real development
Teachers here move into curriculum specialist and principal roles. Several members of our leadership team started in a classroom at Shaws.
We’re hiring
Teach where play takes centre stage
A day at Shaws is spent making learning fun, building relationships and nurturing small humans into all-round decent ones. It is genuinely good work.
The job
You will be put in charge of play
Your role is to bring the ShawsPlay curriculum to life — introducing a subject, then handing the exploring over to the children and steering from alongside rather than in front.
You’ll design hands-on, experience-rich activities that prepare children for formal school and for life. Not worksheets, and not painting by numbers — the same content, reached a better way.
Why teach here
What we offer teachers
We care about our teachers roughly as much as we care about the children, which is quite a lot.
Fixed hours
Predictable working hours and a genuine work-life balance — something our longest-serving teachers mention first.
A close-knit team
Small campuses, supportive colleagues, and a culture where people cover for each other without being asked.
A global classroom
Our children and staff come from all over. Working here is a genuinely international experience.
Creative freedom
You’ll be trusted to design activities. The curriculum sets the destination, not every step of the route.
Work that shows
You will watch children you taught become confident, resilient and ready. It does not get old.
From our teachers
Why they stay
I started as an inexperienced teacher and am now a Lead Chinese Language teacher. I’m grateful to Shaws for the opportunities to grow, and for the room to try different ways of teaching.
The school’s philosophy matches mine: happy children make happy learners. Shaws let me develop from teacher to centre leader, with incomparable support along the way.
I love the play-based concept, the camaraderie among the staff, and the kids — curious, active and absolutely wonderful. I look forward to spending time with them every day.
Open roles
Join in the fun at Shaws
Every day here is an adventure in learning and growing — for the children and for the teachers too.
