About you |
Passport number |
Please ensure your current passport number is valid for at least 6 months after the end of your assistantship. If your passport has expired or will expire during your assistantship, please provide your old/current passport number. Once your new number arrives, please contact us by email to update your details. |
Education |
Please enter the start and end dates of your education history. If you are not certain of the exact dates, put the first date of the months you started and ended. In Higher Education, please list any university-level studies. Under Secondary/Further Education, list GCSE and A-level studies or equivalent. |
Preferences |
|
All reasonable wishes for regional preferences, medical or otherwise, should be researched and explained as fully as possible on the application form to ensure the best chance of a desired match.
If you have contacts and possible accommodation in a particular area you must state the name of your host and address of the accommodation in the 'Reasons for preferences' section of the form. We can also take other strong reasons for regional preferences into consideration, provided you highlight them in your application.
We try to meet candidates' preferences as much as possible, but we cannot guarantee a placement in line with your regional or environmental preferences.

Remember that this is a job application for a competitive process. Your application may be read not only by the British Council but also by our overseas partner agency, local authorities and host schools abroad.
Please make sure that your answers are appropriate for a job of this nature. Use examples and evidence to convince us of your suitability for the programme.
Remember that your response to the supporting statements section of the application has a recommended minimum and maximum character count. We encourage applicants to use the character count available to them.
If your application does not meet the required standard or the answers provided are too brief, it will not be accepted.
