ALTIA CENTRAL is now accepting applications from all candidates to join our team of fantastic ALTs from April 2025 and beyond in cities and towns across Aichi Prefecture. While some positions may become available sooner, we ask that our overseas applicants please understand that due to COE and visa application processing times, it is unlikely we could consider you for them.

Standby ALTs need to be completely flexible in their preferences and ready to go into any location that might open up at anytime. Standby ALTs are paid full salary from the start, even if they are still waiting for their placement to open up. We supply normal training and accommodation as well during that interim period.
If you would like to live and work in Japan, or make a return to Japan and work with one of the most reputable and successful companies in the ALT industry, then please apply now.

---The Role---
An ALT’s work in public schools centers around creating positive interactions with the students both inside and outside the classroom and helping to provide enjoyable and energetic lessons. ALTs also develop and maintain a positive and supportive professional relationship with Japanese teachers by assisting with various tasks during the school year. ALTs will experience prolonged periods of standing, walking, and stair climbing. ALTs will also be encouraged to perform high energy movements such as running and playing with students. To help you find success in this role, our ALTs are frequently evaluated throughout the year based on their lesson’s clarity, how supportive they are, and the overall atmosphere they help to create in the classroom. We are dedicated to helping our ALTs grow and improve for their future success by offering ongoing advice, feedback, and more.
Working as an ALT is a great opportunity to improve your Japanese language ability, experience and appreciate cultural differences, and most importantly, to be positively involved with the development and well-being of Japanese students.
---The Application Process---
Once we receive your resume and cover letter, we will only reply to qualified applicants via email. Those that pass our subsequent screening questionnaire will then be invited to an interview. All of our interviews are conducted virtually using Google Meet. If you are interested in applying, please visit our Recruiting website for further details about ALTIA CENTRAL.
