• Availability for some evenings and weekends.
• The right to work in Argentina.

• Negotiate with suppliers, guides, venues, transport and restaurants, and hold the price.
• Lead activities yourself when it is needed, which at the start is often.
• Control sign‑ups, capacity, budget and whether each activity actually pays for itself.
• Run the language exchange and volunteering programmes.

About Vamos Academy

Vamos Academy is a Spanish and English language school with two campuses: one in Málaga, on Spain’s Costa del Sol, and one in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Students come to us from all over the world, some for a fortnight, some for a whole academic year, many through university exchange and Erasmus programmes.

We are a small enough school that you will know your students’ names and they will know yours. That is the point of us. It also means the person we hire has real influence over how the place runs.
