Candidate Profile

Our teachers are hard-working, reliable, and professional at all times. They are safety-conscious, approachable, pleasant, and friendly, willing to go the extra mile to ensure the well-being of our students and, ultimately, the success of the programme.

We aim to give students an educational, culturally-enriching, and memorable summer experience in a safe and supervised setting. We are looking to employ professional staff who will accept this responsibility and have the necessary wide-ranging skills, experience, and commitment to help us achieve this goal.

Compensation

From £730 per week.

Statutory holiday pay is paid pro-rata with each salary payment on top of the stated weekly salary.

Accommodation and meals are provided free of charge on all courses.

Working Day

After breakfast, there is a Teachers’ meeting, which all teachers must attend.

Lessons begin after this meeting and consist of English Skills followed by two other lesson types dependent on the course. Lessons are based on current EFL materials in accordance with the Bede’s syllabus and are prepared with the help of the Academic Manager and Senior Teachers. Lesson planning takes place in the teachers’ room during the afternoon once lessons have finished. Teachers are encouraged to assist with the wide range of sports, activities, and clubs in the afternoon activity sessions, but their priority is always to prepare high-quality lessons.

One afternoon or evening per week, as part of our commitment to teachers’ professional development, the Academic Manager and/or Senior Teachers lead a 30-minute input session that all teachers must attend.

During the week, teachers will be required to assist with a small number of residential duties, such as meal time duties and wake-up duties.

On Fridays, all Teachers attend the leavers’ ceremony and personally hand their students their certificates and Teacher’s Reports.

On Saturdays or Sundays, Teachers will either be involved with the excursion or Airport Transfers.
