Benefits of working with Dipont in China

High quality international education: Dipont Education manages international programmes (delivering A Level, Advanced Placement and IB Diploma Programmes) within some of the most highly regarded high schools in China. We currently employ over 400 expatriate educators and have over 6,000 students on roll. As our students are seeking to gain places at overseas universities, our educators focus on preparing them as thoroughly as possible for university abroad.

Training and career development: Educators have the opportunity to transfer to other locations during their course of their tenure with us. In addition, we are actively focused on providing internal career development opportunities, with the potential to move into centre management or academic quality management roles. We provide workshops, support and access to internal and external training.

Our students: A high number of students enter Dipont centres with the aim to study in some of the top universities in the West, and therefore teachers can enjoy working with some exceptionally motivated and academically high achieving students without the classroom management issues experienced in other teaching posts. As China settles into its role as the economic powerhouse of the 21st century, a teaching position with Dipont provides a platform to work with a generation of young Chinese talent eager to take advantage of every opportunity available to them.

Salary and benefits: Salary levels are very competitive with a benefits package that includes: accommodation allowance, annual return airfare, annual bonus and worldwide medical cover. Cost of living is very favourable and disposable income is high.
