Start with the work that needs doing
Explain whether this is a new position or a replacement, the intended start date and the main problem the person will help solve. Similar job titles can describe very different jobs. Specific responsibilities are more useful than a long list of personal qualities.
- Name the reporting line, age groups, subjects and teaching language.
- List the three main responsibilities and the outcomes expected during the first three months.
Separate essentials from preferences
Identify the subject knowledge, programme experience and communication skills the work genuinely requires. Put desirable experience in a separate list. Connect each requirement to a task, and assess language and teaching ability directly rather than using nationality as a substitute.
- Describe which transferable experience is acceptable and what support the school can offer.
Describe the working week and the whole package
Distinguish teaching, preparation, duties, family communication and extracurricular activities. If the role includes weekend fixtures or evening events, explain their likely frequency. State the monthly salary in RMB and specify gross or net. Describe housing, insurance and any school-fee support separately, including the conditions attached to each benefit.
Agree how decisions will be made
Choose one hiring contact and identify who will conduct interviews, observe a teaching task and make the final decision. Provide an expected feedback timeframe. You can send this brief to TFI Talent as your starting point. Mark unresolved details as “to be confirmed” so they can be addressed before a candidate introduction.
- Check that the start date, location, salary range and interview arrangements tell a consistent story.
