Our approach to teaching and learning means that you can forget the parts of teaching no one loves - homework, constant assessments and preparation for tests, and focus on the parts of teaching that brought us all to the profession: inspiring young people and helping each student achieve their Personal Best by providing an engaging and exciting curriculum. You'll be amazed at the difference just one week at Academic Summer Camp can make to a student, and we can't wait to see you experience this first-hand! 

Some of the highlights of the teaching role are: 

Competitive rates of pay

A friendly, motivated and supportive environment to work; whether you're a newly qualified teacher on your first paid role or a seasoned teacher, you'll be right at home at Academic Summer Camp

Flexibility in the number of weeks and hours you work

Excellent international experience

Excellent retention and year-round opportunities

Access to school facilities such as the gym and swimming pool

Accommodation (and some decent food, too!) in some great locations for those looking to stay on-site and take on overnight responsibilities.

We're looking for passionate teachers who have experience teaching their subject/s (confidence teaching several subjects is ideal as it allows us to give you a full and diverse timetable), are confident in communication and have a genuine passion for learning and supporting each individual student. 

Whilst we love to hear from teachers who are available for the full duration of the camp this isn't essential, so do get in touch to check whether your availability matches the classes/camps we are offering. Some essentials for us are: 

Availability from the Saturday before your chosen camp/course is running for essential induction.

The right to work in the country of your chosen camp when you apply; we're unable to sponsor or assist in the visa application process, so please take this into account when deciding whether to apply

A positive, flexible approach and a desire to get stuck into camp life

Experience teaching; qualified teacher status is desirable but not essential. If you have experience, teaching, tutoring or mentoring in your subject/s, we're keen to hear from you

Confident IT skills; While the teaching you do will be in person we use Teams for student folders and our CRM for all the important paperwork

You must be 19+ years old for this role

As a teacher, planning, preparing and teaching exciting and purposeful lessons/camp sessions are the primary focus of your role. Depending on which damp you're working, you'll either teach Adventurers (primary age), Explorers (age 12-14) and Engagers (age 15-17) or run camps for mixed ages. Look at our different camp pages to see which location approach fits your teaching style the best. 

You'll be responsible for producing your lesson plans on our CRM, creating and maintaining student folders on Teams and writing weekly reports for each student you teach, so we can celebrate each student's achievements. You'll need to write risk assessments as necessary (remember, our academic team is happy to support you). We have a weekly teachers' meeting you'll attend where you can connect with the rest of the teaching team and receive important information. 

We love our teachers to get involved with the overall camp community, so if you want to join a trip, share an interest with the students in a particular activity or lead an assembly, let us know! 

This role seems like ‘you’, we can't wait to hear from you! If you're ready to apply, please complete our online application form by clicking on the bottom below.
