Vacancies occur 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 to direct 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.
If you would like to apply, you can review our current list of vacancies online and submit your application. Alternatively, you can write to us by e-mail saying which jobs you are interested in and we will send you an application form and full vacancy details.
To make sure our recruitment process is fair and transparent we ask all candidates to complete an application form. CVs or resumés will not be accepted.
As soon as possible after the closing date for applications, a shortlist is drawn up. If you are not shortlisted for your first preference, you may be invited to interview for one or more of your other choices. 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.
We hold all applications for six months. If we have your application and you wish to apply for advertised vacancies during this period, you can simply contact us to request more information and complete a statement page on how you meet the essential competencies.
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.
The application form will ask you for contact details, education and qualifications, employment history, references and evidence of competencies. Each vacancy will have essential and desirable competencies. These may be skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours that are needed to do the job. It is important to outline how your qualifications and experience match the competencies for that particular job as the recruitment panel will examine this evidence in the shortlisting process.
In cases where there are five or more candidates who meet the essential criteria, shortlisting can take place based on the desirable criteria.
