Job Description
We are looking for committed and enthusiastic teachers of English to join our international team of ELT professionals in Vietnam.
The British Council in Vietnam has a large and fast-growing network of centres which is expanding to meet high levels of market demand. There are currently seven centres (three in HCMC and four in Hanoi), and further centres are expected to open in 2023. You will join either in May or August 2023 and receive induction and orientation before being assigned a teaching schedule in one of our branches.
Teachers are usually assigned to work in one teaching location, although sometimes work in more than one location is required. Teaching young learners (aged 5 to 17) represents over 70% of the activity nationally. The British Council currently delivers courses to around 4,500 young learners and 1,700 adults at any one time. This is expected to grow substantially in the coming months and years, and the new centres will be dedicated mainly to young learner teaching.
New recruits will be joining a diverse international team of over 130 English teaching professionals supported by an extensive academic management team. The focus on professional development and effective teaching is strong, with a well-developed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme, involving both in-service training and support to pursue externally delivered qualification courses. The opportunity to develop professionally within a supportive, experienced, and diverse team is one of the strongest attractions for teachers, combined with the opportunity to experience life and work in a fast-developing country with a rich cultural heritage and international ambitions.
