Assistant English Teacher in Bando, Ibaraki (Immediate) (expired)

We are looking for native-level English teachers who wish to enrich the lives of public school students in the Ibaraki city of Bando. This position is called "Assistant Langauge Teacher" (ALT).

We are actively recruiting for ALTs to work a set schedule in several elementary schools and junior high schools within the same city. Some days include visiting two schools in one day, so driving ability is needed.

Due to an immediate opening, candidates able to work (and if needed, move to the area) immediately may be considered.

For these placements, positions are for all school days in the year, falling during all 5 weekdays (Monday through Friday). Time at the school each day is between 9:30 and 16:30, but contracted working time within this period is for less than 6 hours per day with plentiful break time.

The main duties are to provide fun and effective English lessons and internationalize Japanese youth. It is important for ALTs to help bridge this gap by giving students first-hand knowledge and experience of different cultures, as well as providing fun and effective English lessons. Although teaching is an important part of the job, essentially much of the job is getting to play and have fun with students and get paid for it! Many teachers play sports and games during recess, or join sports or music clubs after school.

A normal working month pays 220,000 yen. The August summer break pays a 100,000 yen stipend. If starting in the middle of a month, that first month's salary may be paid on a daily rate basis. The maximum transportation amount is already included in the salary.

Basic Requirements:

- Native-level English ability
- To already hold documents required to sponsor a visa and to be able to submit them immediately, or to otherwise already hold a proper Japan work visa. (We can of course provide documentation for renewals)
- Japanese speaking ability
- Some teaching experience or experience working with children
- Agreement to enroll in Japan's national health insurance
- Ability to be present for orientation before starting
- Positions require driving ability.

Benefits:

- Visa sponsorship available
- No limit on contract renewals
- Assistance in arranging housing and rental car if needed
- Company coordinators always available to help with issues between teachers and schools.

Please contact us as soon as possible for consideration. We continuously recruit ALTs and look forward to your contact even if some time after this advertisement is placed, should our needs require applicants in the future. Those who pass the initial screening will be contacted for an interview via Skype. We look forward to hearing from you!
