For over 25 years, Borderlink, Inc. has been creating opportunities for people around the world to come live and work in Japan as Assistant Language Teachers. Whether you're looking to start your adventure from overseas or you're already living in Japan and seeking a new opportunity, we're here to help.
🌸 Why be an ALT?
● Stable, fulfilling and full-time work starting from Fall 2025 & earlier (if living in Japan) or Spring 2026 (if living overseas).
● Monthly salaries ranging from 220,000-250,000 yen, enrollment in social insurance/health care and support every step of the way
● Work on weekdays (Monday-Friday) between 7:45 am and 6:00 pm, and enjoy free evenings, weekends, holidays and school vacations
● Experience a new side of Japan as you teach in public elementary and junior high schools (with Kindergarten and senior high also in select areas)
● For those living abroad, there's never been a better time to move to Japan than now. Enjoy a country with a high standard of living but at lower costs than you'll find in other parts of the world.
🎯 What sets Borderlink apart?
● Variety - Our ALTs work across all Japan. We have positions in major urban cities and spacious, low-cost country towns as well. Borderlink ALTs work across Japan in Kyushu, Chugoku, Kansai, Chubu, Kanto, Tohoku, and Hokkaido.
● Innovative - We strive to constantly evolve and improve ourselves. Borderlink is the fastest-growing ALT dispatch company in Japan, and we're only continuing to expand each year.
● Personable - You'll always know who your main support team is and who to contact for help and advice in the event of emergencies.
● Education-focused - Much of Borderlink's staff have a background in education and over half of the HR team have been ALTs themselves.
● Career-growth- After gaining experience an ALT, there is the possibility of going to the next level and joining our team.
🗾 Applying from Japan - Join us in Fall 2025 (or earlier)
If you live in Japan and hold the appropriate resident or working visa type, we are looking to hire for positions starting from September or sooner- you could become an ALT in a matter of days if we have an opening that fits you. Those with prior ALT experience, the ability to drive in Japan and/or are open to relocation will get priority consideration. Additionally, part-time positions are possible in select areas for domestic applicants.
🌎 Applying from Overseas - Join us in Spring 2026
For those applying from overseas, this is your chance to join us for the new school year next spring. Start your journey by applying today. Successful candidates will be guided through each step of the process, including applying for a visa and receiving online support from our staff. The window of opportunity isn't open forever, so the sooner you apply the higher your chances are of being in Japan by this time next year.
⚠️ Requirements:
If you are applying from overseas or in Japan and seeking visa sponsorship, you must
● Be a university graduate holding a bachelor's degree or higher.
● You also need to have had 12 years of education where English was the main language of instruction used for all classes (i.e. all classes were taught primarily in English).
Both of these are necessary to be eligible for visa sponsorship, and are non-negotiable.
However, you do not need to come from a country where English is the native language to be an ALT. As long as your educational history had the above-mentioned 12 years (such as attending a bilingual school or living abroad), you can be eligible to work as an ALT too.
⭐️ Benefits:
Borderlink ALTs enjoy a range of benefits and support, including:
✅ Enrollment in the social insurance system (where applicable)
✅ Help with securing a rental car (for driving positions) at a much more reasonable price than other rental services
✅ Personalized, friendly assistance with handling administrative tasks
✅ Year-round paid training sessions (including orientation/initial training)
✅ Support with learning and improving your Japanese skills
✅ Access to teaching materials and our vast library of educational resources
✅ Regular consultation with office staff to help you hone your skills
✅ Paid holidays (as stipulated by the contract)
✅ Priority for future positions and/or possibility of career advancement in the company
