Job description

Candidate Profile

Our teachers are hard‑working, reliable, professional at all times, safety‑conscious, approachable, pleasant and friendly and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure the well‑being of our students and, ultimately, the success of the programme.

We aim to give students an educational, culturally‑enriching and memorable summer experience in a safe and supervised setting and we are looking to employ professional staff who will accept this responsibility, and have the necessary wide‑ranging skills, experience and commitment to help us achieve this goal.

Qualifications

• University Degree in any discipline
• CELTA or Trinity College TESOL (or Accreditation‑UK recognised equivalent) or PGCE (in English or MFL)
• Applicants with the DELTA, QTS (Primary or Secondary) or CELTYL, are particularly welcomed.

Experience

• At least 1 year's EFL teaching experience with Young Learners is essential.
• Applicants with previous experience of working in a residential summer school and teaching mixed nationality groups are preferred.

Compensation

£600 per week. Statutory holiday pay is paid pro‑rata with each salary payment on top of the stated weekly salary. Accommodation and all meals included.

Working Day

After breakfast, there is a Teachers’ meeting, which all teachers must attend.

Lessons begin after this meeting and consist of English Skills followed by two other lesson types dependant on the course. Depending on the centre, teachers will prepare and deliver up to 5 hours of lessons a day, 4‑5 days per week.

Lessons are based on current EFL materials in accordance with the Bede’s syllabus, and are prepared with the help of the Academic Manager and/or Senior Teacher. Lesson planning takes place in the teachers’ room during the afternoon after lessons.

Teachers are encouraged to assist with the wide range of sports, activities and clubs in the afternoon activity sessions, but their priority is always to prepare high‑quality lessons.

One afternoon or evening per week, as part of our commitment to teachers’ professional development, the Academic Manager and/or Senior Teacher lead a 30‑minute input session that all teachers must attend.

During the week teachers will be required to assist with a small number of residential duties, such as meal time duties and wake up duties.

On Fridays, all Teachers attend the leavers’ ceremony and personally hand their students their certificates and Teacher’s Reports.
