Job Details

Join Their Team for the Winter School Programme

Winter contracts in Austria and Germany | January–March 2027

Established over 35 years ago, it specialises in communicative, week-long English courses, delivered directly in schools across Europe. They work with local schools to give students an engaging and immersive English language experience, while offering teachers the opportunity to travel, teach and experience different European destinations.

As they prepare for their busiest programme period of the year, they are looking for eager, adaptable and enthusiastic teachers to join their Winter School team.

Important eligibility requirements: Applicants must already have the legal right to work in the UK. They are unable to offer visa sponsorship. Their interviews are held in person in Central London, so applicants must also be able to attend.

The Winter School Programme

Their Winter School runs from late January through to March 2027, with the first contracts beginning the week commencing 24 January.

They have a particularly busy programme this winter and are looking for teachers who can offer good flexibility and ideally commit to 3–5 weeks or longer. There may also be opportunities to work in separate blocks, taking a short break between contracts before returning later in the season.

Individual one-week contracts are unlikely to be available, as their priority is to recruit teachers who can support the programme over several weeks.

Contract lengths: Ideally 3–5 weeks or longer, depending on availability and course demand.
Working hours: Monday to Friday, approximately 25 teaching hours per week.
Students: Secondary school and 16+ learners.
Locations: Predominantly Austria, with some opportunities in Germany.
Start dates: From the week commencing 24 January 2027, with contracts continuing through February and March.

Who They're Looking For

They welcome both newly qualified and experienced EFL teachers. Previous classroom experience is an advantage, but it is not essential for this programme.

They're particularly interested in teachers who are:

Enthusiastic, energetic and keen to get involved in a communicative teaching programme.
Flexible and adaptable, with the confidence to work in different schools and teaching environments.
Comfortable travelling between locations, including weekend travel.
Happy working with a variety of secondary school and 16+ learners.
Reliable, organised and able to work independently while being part of a wider teaching team.
Interested in committing to several weeks of teaching, rather than just individual one-week placements.

Their courses focus on communicative General English, with an emphasis on developing students' speaking and listening skills. Teachers are provided with structured materials and resources, so you won't need to develop an entire course from scratch.

In-Person Interviews – Friday 11th December 2026

Their next recruitment interview will take place on Friday 11th December in Central London.

They will be running morning and afternoon workshop-style sessions, each lasting approximately 1.5–2 hours. These provide an opportunity to meet the EiA team, learn more about the programme and teaching approach, and take part in collaborative activities.

Interviews are held in person only. They cannot offer online, telephone or individual alternative appointments.

Please consider the travel involved before applying. Applicants travelling from outside London, elsewhere in the UK or from overseas must arrange and cover their own interview travel costs. Attendance does not guarantee a successful interview or an immediate contract offer.

Successful applicants will join their teaching pool and be considered for contracts according to their availability and their programme requirements. Teachers who are not immediately placed may still be considered for opportunities later in the winter season.

Life on the Road

Working with them offers something a little different from a conventional teaching position. Teachers move between school locations, spending a week at each placement, with weekends providing an opportunity to travel and explore.

It's an active and rewarding way to experience life in Europe, meet new people and develop your teaching skills in a variety of classroom environments.

Requirements

Qualifications and Work Eligibility

Qualifications

Minimum 120-hour TEFL qualification, such as CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL, TESOL/TEFL or an equivalent recognised qualification.
Candidates with a PGCE and relevant EFL teaching experience are also welcome.
Previous EFL classroom experience is desirable but not essential.

Right to Work and Travel

Applicants must already have the legal right to work in the UK for employment and payroll purposes.
They accept UK and Irish passport holders, as well as applicants holding another passport with valid UK work permission.
Unfortunately, they cannot provide visa sponsorship due to the short-term nature of our contracts.

Please note: Applications from candidates without the right to work in the UK will not be considered. They are unable to provide sponsorship or assist with obtaining UK work permission.
