TEFL jobs in Jordan
While Jordan isn’t one of the best known TEFL teaching destinations, it’s a country that has one of the most progressive school systems in the region, and is worth keeping an eye on if you want to teach in the Middle East. Schools in Jordan rank as some of the best in the Arab world, and if you manage to land a great job at one of their prestigious international schools, it will look excellent on your CV in years to come. Given that about a third of the population in Jordan are aged under 15, there is a huge demand for teachers who can help propel this country into the world of total bilingualism, which is more easily achieve with a young population .Where to find work in Jordan
The visa process for applying to work in Jordan is tricky and expensive for the school. As such, while many schools would be keen to employ a native English teacher, they are put off by the associated fees, which include paying for a lawyer that is required to secure the work permit. As such, don’t waste your time applying for roles unless you think you stand a pretty good chance of getting them – the schools will be expecting qualified, experienced, professional applicants who are worthy of all this effort. Your work permit will be valid for one-year and can be renewed. It’s possible to arrive on the 30-day tourist visa, though it can be tricky to find a job and complete all paperwork in that time. The best time to find a job in Jordan is around August/September. Keep in mind that most jobs have a three-month probationary period, during which contracts can be cancelled without penalty.
