Primary Learning Support Teacher

The Inter-Community School Zurich (ICS) is the longest-established international school in the Greater Zurich Area, proudly serving as an IB World School. Nestled in the picturesque village of Zumikon near a nature reserve and just 10 km from Zurich’s old town, ICS has fostered a vibrant community for over 60 years, committed to supporting students’ individual growth, fostering collaboration, and celebrating diversity.

Primary School Teachers at ICS are responsible for creating a rich, inquiry-based environment for our younger students, who are learning to thrive away from family in a nurturing school community. Learning through experience and personal growth through friendships and social connections are crucial in those early years. At ICS, we provide inclusive learning based on individual developmental needs and our teachers need to have a good understanding of various learning challenges. The Teacher creates a supportive classroom community and designs learning activities to develop the understanding, skills, attitudes, and knowledge identified in the curriculum. Establishing warm but professional relationships with the parents and working closely with colleagues from other departments is also an important part of our Primary School Teachers’ commitment to ICS.

The initial contract is for three years and is renewable.

Interested candidates should apply via our website with a full letter of application, a statement of personal educational philosophy, a detailed resume/curriculum vitae, and a list of three referees (name & email address). The Head of School reserves the right to apply directly to the writers of open testimonials for confidential statements.

Applications should be addressed in PDF format.

Join ICS and be part of a dedicated team supporting student growth, resilience, and academic success in a welcoming, inclusive environment!

We are looking forward to receiving your application.
