TEFL jobs in Bahrain
Bahrain is a small, island country in the Persian Gulf with a rich culture. It is known for its oil wealth, making its capital Manama one of the richest cities in the world. The climate of Bahrain is extremely hot, with temperatures breaking 40 degrees Celsius often in the summer.To teach in the Middle East is many people’s dream. It is tough to get TEFL jobs in the Middle East though, with employers looking for highly qualified teachers, making a degree essential .
Where to find work in Bahrain
The peak hiring season in Bahrain is in August, when schools will be filling last minute positions before the new term starts. If you want a more specialist role such as at an international school, you’ll have to apply much further in advance. Many TEFL teachers find that it’s easier to get a job once you’re actually in Bahrain, but there will be exceptions to this rule. Many expats arrive on a tourist visa to find a job, then switch once they’ve found employment. You need a work visa to work legally in Bahrain, and this will be applied for on your behalf by your employer, who will need to justify why your skills make you appropriate for the role.
