Immediate Assistant English Teacher in Bando, Ibaraki（到期)

We are looking for native-level English teachers who wish to enrich the lives of public school students in the western Ibaraki city of Bando. These positions are called "Assistant Langauge Teachers" (ALT).

We are actively recruiting for ALTs to work a set schedule in two elementary schools within the same city, and we are also looking for ALT substitutes with at least one free weekday scheduled. We can consider someone who wishes to work until the end of the school year in March (and perhaps continuing after this point as well), or someone who could work for almost exactly one month as a substitute for the time being. For this position, holding a proper work visa would be required, although we can help with renewals if needed.

For these placements, positions are for all school days in the year, falling during all 5 weekdays (Monday through Friday). Time at the school is 8:30-15:30 but contracted working time is for less than 6 hours per day with plentiful break time.

Specific conditions regarding the daily rate can vary depending on the specific schools and experience of the candidate, but specific possibilities are confirmed before needing to make an agreement to take a position in each individual case. The conditions would not change after an agreement is made.

The main duties are to provide fun and effective English lessons and to 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.

The vast majority of positions have the maximum transportation amount already included in the salary.

Basic Requirements:

- Native-level English ability
- To already hold a proper Japan work visa. (We can of course provide documentation for renewals for people working with us.
- Basic Japanese speaking ability (or at least a desire to learn) or otherwise good communication skill
- 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
- Driving would be required if not living within the city in a place convenient to travel by bicycle, and driving does benefit general lifestyle in the city even if not required if able to relocate to the city.


Benefits:

- No limit on contract renewals
- Assistance to find housing
- Company coordinators always available to help with issues between teachers and schools.
- Veteran ALTs who have certain qualities can be considered in future contract years for advancement within the company or to be introduced to a position outside the ALT field.

Please contact us as soon as possible for consideration. We are looking to recruit a large number of ALTs and look forward to your contact even if some time after this advertisement is placed. Those who pass the initial screening will be contacted for an interview via Skype. We look forward to hearing from you!
