Working at DBIS

Situated in the heart of the beautiful community of Discovery Bay, the students enjoy a unique learning journey that begins in the Early Years, progresses to Primary and culminates in Secondary.

A highly personalised learning environment characterises the DBIS learning experience. Small class sizes, creative approaches to teaching and learning, and a broad range of extracurricular activities best serve a school of nearly 1,000 students.

At the heart of the school's educational philosophy are care, kindness, respect and compassion. Our talented teachers aim to ensure every student is recognised, supported and encouraged to reach their potential.

We are a learning community committed to the constant pursuit of excellence to achieve the best possible outcomes for all students. We look to recruit teachers who share this philosophy and are motivated to progress their careers in this unique school.

DBIS advertises posts on this website, the TES (the Times Educational Supplement) and the local press throughout the year.

DBIS Safeguarding Policy Statement

At Discovery Bay International School (DBIS), the safety and well-being of our students is our paramount concern. We will give equal priority to keeping all children and young people safe regardless of their age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. We recognise that some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of discrimination, previous experiences, their level of dependency, communication needs or other issues. Every child has the right to learn and grow in a secure, nurturing, and protective environment, free from all forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. At the heart of our policy is the best interests of the children, and all matters relating to child protection and safeguarding will be underpinned by listening to the voice of the child and acting in their best interests.

Legal Obligations: DBIS will adhere to the laws in Hong Kong relating to mandatory reporting of suspected child abuse cases (those under the age of 18), effective from 20th January 2026 (Cap 650 of the law of Hong Kong). If the school suspects that a child is suffering serious harm or is at real risk of suffering serious harm (as detailed in the Ordinance lists of elements that constitute serious harm), this will be reported to the Social Welfare Department (SWD).

Reporting Procedures: If a member of staff suspects that a child is at risk of harm, or a child reports s disclosure, this must be recorded as soon as possible after the disclosure, using the Child Protection Manager on ISAMs. The staff member must speak to the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) or Deputy for the phase of the school that the child is in to ensure that the disclosure has been received. The DSL will liaise with the Whole School DSL (or Deputy) regarding next steps.

Pre-employment: DBIS will take all reasonable steps to ensure that full and complete background checks are carried out for all members of staff who are employed at our school. The school will also adhere to our safer recruitment policy.

Confidentiality: DBIS will ensure all records, disclosures and allegations are managed in a confidential manner. Staff will never promise students that information they share regarding harm or abuse will be kept confidential.

All records are kept within the Child Protection Manager on our ISAMs management information system. All notes from child protection meetings will be kept as hard copies in the safe located in the Whole School DSL’s office at the Main Campus.

Only applications submitted via the official online form on our website will be considered. We do not accept direct email applications.
