Job Description
Teach Away is now hiring 3 experienced ELT professionals for teaching jobs in Brunei Darussalam. Currently, one secondary teacher and two primary teachers are needed at schools governed by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Each teacher will have up to 20 contact hours per week. Work weeks run from Monday to Thursday, with Fridays and Sundays off. Saturday is also a work day. Teachers can expect to be working from 7:30AM to12:30PM, with time set aside for preparation and marking within school hours. Students are generally well -behaved. Due to the religious nature of the schools, conservative dress is required.
Brunei Darussalam is home to hot weather, sandy beaches, and lush forests. Located on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo, Brunei shares the island with parts of Malaysia and Indonesia. From a foreigner’s standpoint, the country is considered clean, safe, and a convenient location from which travel to nearby countries. In Brunei, it’s not rare to see people from many nations living throughout, especially around the capital of Bandar Seri Begawan. In many cases, expatriates often find the lifestyle in Brunei to be more accommodating than what they experienced in their native countries. The official language is Malay, but English is widely spoken and understood; a range of international cuisine exists; and the cost of living is relatively low, especially considering that teaching salaries in Brunei are tax free.
