For ESL teachers applying to teach English in Spain, it is possible to find paid volunteer jobs teaching English. Volunteers will teach English in Spanish classrooms throughout the country.
Teachers applying for volunteer positions can often do so with no previous teaching experience or qualifications, although they are encouraged to enroll in a TEFL course before teaching.
Licensed teachers can teach in Spanish private international schools. Teachers will generally need to have 2-3 years of licensed teaching experience to land a teaching job in Spain. And although there are exceptions, it can be difficult to get a job teaching in Spain without an EU passport.
