The Recruitment Process
Vacancies arise throughout the year and it is always worth checking our website to view these. Our main recruitment season when most posts are advertised starts in early spring and until summer for posts starting in the academic year in September and early October. Advertisements directing potential candidates to our website appear in the national press and in certain publications throughout the year. Our website contains up to date and fully comprehensive information about current vacancies and how to apply for them. Alternatively, you can contact us by email or telephone us. Please note that information on the website concerning posts, terms & conditions of service and teaching centres is as accurate as possible, but may be subject to change at short notice.

To make sure our recruitment process is fair and transparent we ask all candidates to complete an application form. CVs or resumés are only accepted as expressions of interest.

As soon as possible after the closing date for applications, a shortlist is drawn up. We will not contact candidates who are not shortlisted individually. If you have not heard from us within six weeks of a deadline please assume your application was unsuccessful. If you would like more information about your application at any stage of the process, please contact us.

If you are invited for interview, reasonable UK travel expenses will be reimbursed. If you are not based in the UK, interviews will be arranged by telephone or at a location where there is a British Council teaching centre.

In cases where there are five or more candidates who meet the essential criteria, shortlisting can take place based on the desirable criteria.
