International schools in Spain now looking for teachers with GCSE and A Level teaching skills
Now is a good time to apply to be a teacher in Spain as there are a lot of new openings
Recruitment specialists WorkinSpain have noted that there is a growing need for teachers in International Schools and Colleges in Spain, and point out that this represents an opportunity for qualified expats to find work more easily when they move to Spain.
Due to a post-pandemic mini baby boom in Spain, public schools are opening more places than ever before in search of new teachers for the 2023-24 school calendar year and, with teachers from the private school system moving over to the public sphere, this means that there are more opportunities to get hired in both sectors.
While for most teachers, the beginning of the school year in September is when they start a new position, it is best to start looking for a job as early as possible and there are also positions available which need filling immediately.
For expat teachers living in Spain, though, it is often easier to work in private International Schools and semi-private academies because the requirements for speaking Spanish are often lower.
Job requirements to become a school teacher in Spain
According to WorkinSpain, candidates must be comfortable with teaching the syllabus in English, and quite often you don’t even need to speak Spanish. It helps if you are familiar with either the UK curriculum or the US school syllabus.
Schools will be more inclined to hire anyone who has a teaching degree, a PGCE or equivalent and holds QTS Qualified teacher status.
The majority of openings are for schools that teach GCSE and A Levels, and teachers are needed for all subjects, including Science, English and Maths.
“If you hold any of these qualifications and are looking for a fresh challenge in your professional career, contact WorkinSpain,” conclude the experts at WorkinSpain.
Any candidates interested in becoming a teacher in Spain should contact WorkinSpain to find out more, and if you are the representative of an International School they can help link you up with the right employees for your centre.
