Employment

At Budapest British International School, people matter. Our students come first, and we believe that outstanding learning is built on strong relationships, thoughtful teaching, and a professional culture grounded in trust, care, and shared purpose.

BBIS is an IB World School with a clear British international ethos, serving a diverse, multilingual community in the heart of Budapest. We are intentionally small. Our class sizes and learning groups allow teachers to know students well, respond to individual needs, and focus on achievement and progress in a purposeful and humane way. Relationships matter here, and they sit at the centre of daily practice.

Working at BBIS means being part of a reflective, engaged professional community. Teaching is taken seriously, collaboration is the norm, and professional learning is valued as an ongoing process rather than a one-off event. Colleagues are encouraged to think deeply about their practice, share ideas openly, and learn from one another in a supportive environment. Coaching and professional dialogue are part of how we work, not add-ons.

Leadership at BBIS is participatory and grounded. Staff are trusted as professionals, encouraged to contribute their thinking, and supported to grow. There is a strong sense of collective responsibility across Primary and Secondary, with a shared commitment to doing what is right for children and young people. Success is recognised quietly and meaningfully, and challenge is handled with respect and care.

Beyond the school, BBIS offers the opportunity to live and work in one of Europe’s most vibrant and liveable cities. We value balance and wellbeing, recognising that people do their best work when they feel supported, respected, and able to thrive both professionally and personally.

If you are passionate about teaching, value strong relationships, and want to work in a school where students are genuinely at the heart of every decision, Budapest British International School offers a professional home where your work will matter.
