We require two full-time Business English teachers for an in company contract in the Costa Brava region of Catalonia, Spain.
Two schedules are available: 08.00 - 13.00 (5 teaching hours) & 15.00 - 20.00 (5 teaching hours), Monday to Friday. Each class lasts one hour (50 mins) and each course lasts 40 hours. Group size is max 4 students.
Levels range from Elementary to High Intermediate. Emphasis of each course will be to consolidate and improve speaking and listening skills. For lower levels there will be greater emphasis on general English while the higher levels will focus on specific business communication. Classrooms are fully equipped.
Candidate profile
Interested applicants should hold a Cert TEFL, either a business English qualification or business work experience, some previous TEFL experience and be over 24 years.
Conditions
The first phase of the training should start around the 20th Jan 2005 and finish on 22nd March. Phase two may start on 29 March i.e. after the Easter break. Contracts are free-lance only which means the teacher will have to officially register as a free-lance teacher. Remuneration is 13 Euros gross per hour. Income tax (IRPF) of 7% is retained for teachers who have not been registered as a freelance teacher previously. Those that have and have been working for more than 2 years will pay 15% tax. Payment is monthly and the teacher should have a Spanish bank account.
Accommodation and Transport
Teaching 25 hours per week means that it is not convenient to live in Barcelona and travel to the Costa Brava each day. Applicants not living in the Costa Brava area will have to relocate. Reasonably priced coastal accommodation is plentiful from January to 15 June. The teacher is responsible for his/her transport to and from the place of work, accommodation costs and living expenses.
Application procedure
Interested candidates should send a CV together with the contact details (e-mail and phone number) of two recent referees. For short-listed candidates a preliminary interview over the phone will be conducted.
Deadline
Applications should be e-mailed to [email protected] and reach us by 14thJanuary 2005. Should interested candidates have any questions before formally applying these should be directed to the Director of Studies at the same e-mail address.
