THE BRITISH ENGLISH AND NEW DANCE ACADEMY.
SANYOONODA-SHI, YAMAGUCHI-KEN. JAPAN.
ESL JOB OPENINGS IN 2006.
Hello,
We are a small culture school located on the southern tip of Honshu Island (Japan), about 40 minutes by train from Shimonoseki - across the Kanmon straight from Kyushu island. Our city is called Sanyoonodashi and it has a population of about 30,000 people. We teach ''New Dance'' and ''English Conversation.'' At present we have 6 English teachers on our staff and 3 dance teachers. The dance teachers also carry out the day to day running of the school.
University and College graduates from English speaking countries are offered a monthly salary of from Yen250, 000 - 270, 000 for a maximum 98 hours monthly teaching schedule.
High school graduates from England, Canada, Australia and New Zealand can join us under Holiday/Work visa status and are offered a monthly salary of from Yen220, 000 - 230, 000 for a maximum 98 hours monthly teaching schedule. This salary will be increased to Yen230,000 – Yen240,000 after completing six months of contract.
Any hours taught over and above 98 hours are classed as overtime and remunerated at the rate of Yen2, 500 per hour.
Our teachers aren't usually asked to put in office time.
Teachers who are employed by us receive from 10 to 14 days paid vacation over Christmas and the New Year (plus two days off per week and relevant Japanese National holidays). The length of this holiday depends upon the school's teaching schedules at that time.
If our teachers extend their contact by 6 months, they receive an extra 5 days paid vacation. If they extend their contract by one year, they receive an extra 10 days paid vacation.
Requests for unpaid vacation are also seriously taken into consideration.
BENDA covers all ''Apartment Key Money' expenses, only asking the teacher to pay his/her monthly rental costs (which are usually around Yen40, 000 to Yen55, 000 per month). We also put in a telephone line to all our teachers' apartments and provide each teacher with a small city car for both business and private use. The teacher being requested to pay the yearly tax/insurance for the vehicle (coming to around Yen4, 000 / Yen115, 000 per year respectively).
Teachers joining us take over an existing apartment and have the opportunity to purchase furniture from an outgoing teacher. The Academy offers an interest free loan of up to
Yen90,000 to cover this transaction and a year ending bonus of Yen25, 000 towards travel costs.
The Academy covers work related accident insurance for all employees.
We have no restrictions regarding our teachers socializing with their students, so there's always a good opportunity to learn about Japanese culture and study the Japanese language together with local friends.
If you'd like to hear a little more about us, perhaps we could talk together over the telephone.
We presently have one job opening in August/September and another in November of 2006.
Teachers wishing to join us are asked to provide copies of the following documents: -
Copies of relevant diplomas.
Copy of resume.
Copy of relevant pages from passport.
Copy of International driving license (this can be sent at a later date).
Copy of a recent photograph.
