Please do not apply to individual members of the school administration.
Kindly note that AAS will not respond to unsolicited job applications.

After initial screening of applications we conduct multiple interviews with long-listed candidates. We undertake a significant amount of the initial interview process via online video conferencing.

Shortlisted finalist candidates may be invited for the a final round of in-person interviews – and possibly presentations – at the school. In such cases, reasonable travel and accommodation expenses will be covered.

For successful candidates, offers of employment follow, once all security checks have been completed.

The first day of school for students is the last week of August and new teachers are required to arrive in Sofia mid-way through the second week of August. The first day for teaching staff is five school days before the first day of school for students.

We always conduct confidential reference checks before offering a position, following a protocol that looks at fit for overall community, high competence in the relevant professional area and child safety. To ensure safety and security we have a Child Protection Plan and require up to date police checks

We are aware that it is not uncommon for couples to apply for positions simultaneously.
At AAS, our practice and policy is to hire the best match for our school and community.
As a result we have a mixture of single teachers, teaching couples and families with up to three children.

Employment opportunities for non-teaching spouses living in Sofia will depend on the career of the spouse. Some partners of our internationally recruited staff are self-employed in fields of design, fitness, finance and education. There is a vibrant international community here and English is spoken quite widely, although not in all professions.
