OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS TO SPEND A YEAR IN THE U.K. AS ASSISTANT TEACHERS DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2012-2013

Applications are invited from teachers or university students training to be teachers who are nearing the end of their course to spend one year only on a Training and Work Experience Scheme as Assistant Teachers in a British Independent School.

Aims: To provide teachers with the opportunity to gain experience of the British educational system, to understand something of the British way of life and to gain a greater command of English.
Recruitment: Teachers of the following subjects are most easily placed:
Mathematics, Sciences, Information Technology, Design and Technology, Art, Music, Physical Education and Sport, Junior Classes. There are occasionally vacancies for teachers of French, German, Spanish, History, Geography, and English as a Second or Foreign Language.
Most vacancies are for secondary teachers (pupils aged 11-18) but some vacancies do exist also for teaching younger pupils (aged 7-13) and occasionally for kindergarten).

Essential Qualities
- having a good knowledge of English: ability to communicate easily but total fluency is not essential provided there is a willingness to learn quickly
- competent in subject area(s)
- willing to gain experience and assist with duties in a residential situation
- friendly and outgoing attitude
- adaptable and able to integrate easily and work in a team
- confident and independent
- hardworking, flexible and highly motivated
- ready to supervise sports and contribute to extra-curricular activities (expertise in a sport, music, drama or another activity would be welcome)
- having a commitment to share the experience with others on returning home.

Accommodation: This is provided by the host school, usually in boarding houses where the teacher will act as a resident tutor for boarding children.
Food: Will normally be provided during term-time and usually involves eating with other resident tutors and school boarders.

Dependants: The allowance and accommodation are not sufficient for dependants. Applicants must be prepared to go alone, although short visits from dependants, partners or spouses during the holidays may be possible after negotiation with the school.

Remuneration: Teachers will not receive a full teacher’s salary but will be paid not less than the minimum wage, currently £182.40 per week, throughout the year. Teachers will have to pay a small contribution to National Insurance, for access to free treatment under the National Health Service for all medical needs except dental treatment, which is not covered.

Travel Expenses: selected candidates cover their own travel expenses to and from the UK.
Fees: Teachers whose applications are successful and who take up places in British schools will be asked to contribute £980 to cover a part of the costs incurred directly for their benefit. This amounts only to about £19 per week. We do not require the total sum in advance but accept the payment in two parts, the first £490 being due by 1 December 2012 and another £490 by 1 March 2013. Money does not have to be transferred to the UK in advance, as teachers can wait until they have been paid by their schools.

This salary should leave you with enough money for personal use after the costs of accommodation and food have been met. This should be sufficient to join friends when they go out to go to the theatre or a football match, to buy clothes in the sales and to travel to interesting places in the country. Our aim is for you to be able to make the best use of your time in Britain, although you may find many items expensive.

Applications should include a full curriculum vitae (including postal address and e-mail address), a covering letter indicating the reasons for applying and any special interests, talents or hobbies, a photocopy of your degree certificate and a passport-sized photograph. Applicants should also include letters of recommendation from two referees translated into English.
Interviews will be arranged by the coordinator in each country. These will probably take place during January or February 2012. Applicants will normally be informed if they have been successful during the period March to May.

Orientation Course: Successful candidates will be invited to attend an orientation course at Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge from 31 August - 3 September 2012 for all teachers and scholars from Central and Eastern Europe. They should travel to the UK on 31 August, unless they are required to join their schools before then in the event of an earlier start to the school year.
Deadline for submitting complete applications: December 9, 2011
Applications should be made to:
