FAQs - JOBS IN THE UK & IRELAND

We accept applications on a rolling basis; however, the sooner you apply, the better. Management roles tend to be secured earlier.

This varies depending on the role you wish to apply for. Please click here to read the job descriptions so you can understand what each role entails and requires.

Everyone is required to apply through our website and go through the same process to ensure fair treatment and recruitment standard for everyone. Please see below the recruitment process for Campus Life and for Academics – depending on which department you wish to work for.

Read the job descriptions and requirements for the roles you are interested in and apply for the one you are most interested in. If we find you unsuitable for the role you have applied for, we may offer you a different role (subject to availability).

We have 1 centre in Ireland and 11 centres within the UK (England and Scotland). For more information about our centres click here.

Each centre runs at different dates and the duration varies from centre to centre – from mid-June to mid-August ranging from 4 to 8 weeks.

This varies by position. All management roles must be available for the entire duration of their allocated centre. Management staff is expected to arrive at the campus 5 days prior to student arrivals (dates of student arrivals for each centre can be found here under Course Dates and will leave 1 day after everyone’s departure. The minim stay for Teachers and Activity Leaders is 2 weeks and can be up to 8 weeks.

We will ask for your 2-3 preferred centres and availability during a second-stage interview. We will try our best to accommodate everyone’s preferences, but it may not be always possible. EU applicants without the right to work in the UK will be automatically assigned to Dublin, Ireland.

Campus Life – all roles are residential only. You can request a non-residential contract, if you are already living on the campus. Academics – management roles are required to be residential. Teachers may be either residential or non-residential.

Full board accommodation is provided. Non-residential staff need to provide their own meals.

This varies from role to role. If we require you to wear a uniform, you will receive T-shirts and a jumper with our logo on your first day, which you must wear during your shift. Everyone is required to wear lanyards.

For Academic positions (Course Directors, Assistant Course Directors, Teachers) and Campus Life (Campus Managers, Activity Managers) - Yes, you do. We do not provide laptops.

In all our schools, you will have access to technology to prepare for your lessons in the staff room, but this means that you will have to share what is available.
