Description
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspiring Science teacher both of General Science and as a specialist teacher of Biology up to and including our bespoke KS4 programme and the IB Diploma Programme at both HL and SL from August 2025. Prior experience with the IB Diploma programme would be advantageous.
The Science Faculty at Le Régent International School
In Grade 6 - 8 students are taught combined science, following the International Middle Years Curriculum. In response to evolving educational needs and our shift from the IGCSE course, the department has undergone a transformative overhaul of our KS3 and KS4 science programmes. In Grade 9, students engage in a comprehensive curriculum covering the three Science courses. The Grade 10 programme, designed to seamlessly progress from Grade 9 to the IB programme, offers three pathways: Pure Science Pathway (rigorous foundation in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics for IB specialisation), Natural Science Pathway (integrates Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Management/Science), and Physical Science Pathway (combines Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science/Applied Physics, exploring interdisciplinary fields). This approach not only aligns with the demands of the IB Diploma Programme but also nurtures their individual interests and potential career paths.
LE RÉGENT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
THE YOUNGEST AND MOST DYNAMIC SWISS BOARDING SCHOOL
In the heart of the Swiss Alps at 1,500 metres in an exceptional mountain environment, Le Régent students experience h³, a multi-dimensional education that engages the head, heart and hands. Empowered to discover their talents and passion for life, they are challenged with demanding academic and outdoor education curricula that develop their intellect, nurture character development, and equip them with practical skills.
Our educational approach is rooted in intercultural understanding, with student well-being at the core of everything we do. In a highly international, close-knit community with a family-like atmosphere, our students have countless opportunities to take on leadership roles and grow into responsible global citizens eager to shape the future with confidence. By the time they leave Le Régent, they are more knowledgeable
about themselves and the world at large, as well as responsible, resilient, caring, and prepared for life beyond school.
Pastoral care is at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated academic and pastoral teams work hand in hand to create a nurturing, welcoming environment where every student feels valued, supported, and empowered to flourish. For our boarders, this means a true home away from home where they are encouraged to explore their passions, develop their talents, and build meaningful, lifelong connections with both peers and educators.
Our 2024 IB results continued to surpass the global average and our graduates continue to earn places at prestigious universities worldwide.

Third-Country Nationals’ Applications
Third-country nationals should be aware that obtaining a work permit is a lengthy process with stricter regulations for third-country nationals (such as those from the UK) compared to EU/EFTA nationals. While we may consider appointing a third-country national, preference will be given to candidates who hold a Swiss residence permit or an EU/EFTA passport.
