Náplň (druh) práce

Role Context and Purpose:
The Slovakia teaching centre is centrally located in the old town. The centre employs some 12 teaching staff and has an excellent reputation in the local EFL community. Students are a mix of adults and young learners and classes are mostly either general English or examination focussed. Teachers are required to teach a variety of course types and age groups.

Freelance teachers are central to the teaching mix and are expected to work professionally to deliver high quality classes and support the centre.

Freelance teachers are required to have a Slovak business licence and to invoice the British Council monthly for work done. Freelance teachers could be offered group classes, one to one/corporate classes or cover work. On average freelance teachers work 3-12 hours per week depending on customer demand, so this is not a full-time teaching position.

The centre can offer excellent development opportunities through our active and funded external training and INSETT programmes.

We are particularly interested in teachers who can teach young learners on weekday afternoons and evenings.

We have a mentoring programme for newly-qualified teachers and teachers with less than two years post-qualification experience.

Responsibilities:
- Plan, prepare and deliver a pre-agreed number of hours each term of high-quality English language teaching. This could include both adult and young learners.
- Monitor progress and provide regular feedback to help manage students’ performance throughout the course, and actively promote learner autonomy.
- Contribute to the development, evaluation, and improvement of English language courses, materials and related services, in order to meet students’ needs, by actively working as a member of the teaching team.
- Complete teaching related administrative tasks to specified standards.
- Ensure safeguarding and guidelines are applied and upheld in line with standards and policy for the following areas:
1. Child protection and adult safeguarding
2. Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
3. Safety and Security

Teachers may be required to deliver one to one or corporate lessons online.
