A recruitment notice shared in the Teachers Club Cambodia Facebook group advertises a DK Schoolhouse English teacher vacancy in Phnom Penh. The notice names Kindergarten 2, Grade 1 and Grade 5 and asks applicants to identify the level in their email subject line. DK Schoolhouse describes itself in the notice as a Danish-Cambodian preschool and primary school with a Scandinavian-inspired approach to education.

What the DK Schoolhouse English teacher role involves

The notice lists English instruction, lesson planning, materials preparation and assessment among the responsibilities. The teacher would support students in reading, writing, speaking and communication. The role also includes managing the classroom, tracking and reporting student progress and working with colleagues and school management.

The notice mentions Kindergarten 2 alongside two primary grades, but it does not explain how teaching time is divided or whether the school plans to hire one teacher or several. Applicants can ask which classes the successful candidate would teach and how the school organises planning and assessment across the listed grades.

Qualifications and experience

The recruitment notice asks for an education degree, a teaching certificate in English or a related qualification. It also lists previous kindergarten and primary teaching experience, strong spoken and written English, classroom management and communication skills. Professionalism and a commitment to students’ development are among the qualities it identifies.

In a CV, candidates can make relevant experience easy to find by listing the year groups they taught and the English skills they covered. Someone applying for Kindergarten 2 might describe experience using stories, songs or picture prompts to encourage children to listen and speak. An applicant for a primary grade could outline how they taught reading or writing and checked what students had learned. These are examples of evidence an applicant might include.

A cover letter can describe one specific lesson or unit. It helps to explain what students were expected to learn, how the teacher supported students who needed more practice and how the teacher decided what to cover next. One concrete example gives the reader a clearer picture of the applicant’s teaching than a list of general strengths.

How to apply for the Phnom Penh vacancy

The notice asks candidates to email a CV and cover letter to hello@dkschoolhouse.com, which also appears on the official DK Schoolhouse contact page. The subject line shown in the notice is Application – Kindergarten 2, Grade 1 or Grade 5 English Teacher. Applicants can make their preferred level clear in the subject and cover letter.

The Facebook notice was shared by an anonymous participant. It does not state a salary, start date, application deadline or whether the role is full-time or part-time. Candidates can confirm with the school that recruitment is still open and ask about the timetable and contract terms before making arrangements for an interview. If more than one level is of interest, they can ask whether the school wants a single application covering those levels.

The DK Schoolhouse English teacher notice gives applicants the grade levels, core duties and documents to submit. Before sending an application, check that the CV identifies the age groups you have taught and that the cover letter makes clear which of the advertised levels interests you.
