What will you be doing?

Our client, a state Senior School in Hangzhou City, is looking to employ a native English-speaking graduate to teach volleyball or field events in their PE department. Along with the related Chinese teacher, you will teach and instruct the students according to their levels. Students in the school are aged between 12 and 16 and their language and ability levels will of course vary depending on their age. You will be given teacher training as well as on-going team-building activities organised by the school. This role is to teach 15 – 20 hours a week with two days off as well as 11 days public holiday. The initial contract, funded by the Chinese government, will be for 1 year, though they would like people to extend these if they do well. There are also opportunities for promotion within the organisation.

Where will you be?

Hangzhou Changhe High School is located in the Zhejiang province of China, which is centered around Hangzhou City. This is a large, young, clean and vibrant city of 8 million people just 1 hour south of Shanghai. There is a large ex-pat community and excellent nightlife. The monthly salary of between 7000RMB and 8000RMB (approximately £700-£800) will provide you with plenty of disposable income as cost of living is well below that of the UK. Included in the role is free accommodation with all necessary facilities; comprehensive medical and accidental insurance and your fights and residence permit will be reimbursed upon completion of your contract.

Who are we looking for?

The successful candidate will possess excellent written and verbal English skills and have a Bachelor’s degree or above. You will be bright and articulate, with at least 1 years’ experience of teaching either volleyball or field events and hold the relevant sports coaching qualification.
Please note: you do not need any knowledge of the Chinese language. This would be desirable, but is not essential.

Important information:
*We need someone available to start ideally in March 2016.
*The schools will pay for your accommodation and insurance once you are out there.
*Candidates will need to pay for their own flights out to China, which will be reimbursed at the end of the years’ contract.
