Compensation

From £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.
