English Language Teachers

St Giles Brazil is now recruiting full-time teaching staff for one year contracts in both Sao Paulo and Campinas.

Applicants should be:

• Well-presented & flexible
• Minimum qualifications: University degree + EFL qualification (CELTA or Trinity Certificate) plus experience of working within a similar organisation

Preference will be given to applicants looking for longer stay positions, who would favour contract extension of between 1 - 2 years.

Preference will also be given to applicants interested in teacher training options.

Terms

• Monthly salary Brazilian Reals$1,700 plus Reals$500 accommodation allowance.

Working Hours
Full time teachers will be expected to teach or carry out other work in connection with the teaching timetable for a maximum of 30 hours per week Monday to Friday between 07.00 and 22.00 hours and Saturday between 09.00 and 13.00 hours. It should be understood that applicants will need to have a very flexible attitude towards their working hours. Most of the work tends to be in the morning for "breakfast classes" (07.00am - 10.00am), and afternoon/evening classes (14.00pm - 18.00pm). Therefore, it is quite common for teachers to alternate between these 2 "shifts", e.g. a teacher may be required to work in the morning, and then after a break return in the evening. Of the 30 hours, a maximum of 27 hours will be teaching and the remaining hours will be spent on administrative tasks, lesson preparation, marking homework, teachers' meetings, leading social programme events etc.

Holidays
Holidays include four weeks/20 workings days, not including statutory holidays.

Trial Period
Probationary period of employment is 12 weeks.
