Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) needed in Japan

Heart English School is seeking candidates for ongoing positions in Japanese public schools. We have a few openings each month and are interested in candidates wishing to start at any time. Positions are in elementary, junior high, and high schools, with locations all across eastern Japan, with the largest focus on the Kanto region in and near Saitama, in a wide range of environments. Contracts range in amount of working days and hours, so those looking for more freedom regarding working schedules may have interest in addition to those wishing to work all school days.

Some positions require applicants fairly immediately, and we will be interested to hear from those available now, but we also have many positions that will begin in April for the start of the new school year, and are interested to hear from people available for that time as well.

The work involves the education and internationalization of Japanese young people in their own environment. ALTs teach during classtime, but also eat with students at lunch, play with them during recess or during sports practice, and in general socialize with the children to give them the chance to use English naturally with a native speaker. The work is very rewarding and the chance to impact hundreds of lives is there, with the many joys and responsibilities that go along with it.

Requirements:

-Native English Speaking ability

-Valid working visa or ability to be sponsored (being able to provide physical proof of holding a BA/BS degree or higher)

-Real enjoyment in working with children and impacting them positively

Recommendations/preferences but not required for some positions:

-Japanese language ability

-Experience teaching English or living in Japan

-Driving ability for some locations

Heart English School can assist if necessary with:

-Full training and orientation

-Finding accomodation

-Arranging a rental car

-Visa sponsorship

Heart English School hopes to receive your application soon. Please contact us any time if you have questions for working in a Japanese public school, whether in the near future or looking forward toward the new school year.
