Substitute Teacher ‹ Kinder Kids International Preschool (キンダーキッズインターナショナル) ‹ Japan Guide - 2015

Immediate start for training!

Kinder Kids International School is now hiring Substitute Teachers.

This role involves supporting our educational team when teachers are on leave. It provides the opportunity to experience different teaching grades with a view to gaining your own class when the opportunity arrises.

We are looking for only the best candidates to join our excellent team of early childhood specialists. Please note that we are not an eikawa school, this post is best suited to people who have an ambition to work within the field of education as a teacher and educator, not only a language teacher.

If you can imagine a Kindergarten teacher in your home country, our positions are very similar.

A range of locations are available in the Osaka area, please see our website for more information.

We would like you to have had some experience teaching younger children, however if you have not, do not worry, as a good attitude, willingness to learn and a bit of determination will go along way.

The position requires you to be physically fit and have a lot of energy. While teaching children is very rewarding, it is also very demanding.

We offer an initial basic training package and offer consistent support throughout your career with us. There is one simple ethos behind everything we do….. Happy teachers means well educated children!

Teaching is not easy and this job is not suited to someone who lacks the drive and passion for education and English language learning.

We expect 100% effort from you and in return we can give you;

A competitive starting salary



A career track with clear promotion lines (a good idea if you want to live in Japan long term)



Approximately 8 weeks of fully paid vacation time per year



A completion bonus for each and every contract you sign of up to 250,000Yen



Full transportation allowance coverage



Subsidized medical insurance



Unemployment insurance



A voice within our company



A pay review every year with clear pay targets

After your first year, you get to apply for different teaching grades and or locations within the Kinder Kids Group.

*Applicants applying from foreign countries are eligible for Visa sponsorship and a possible relocation bonus of 100,000Yen to help with moving costs.



*Conditions apply

If you are serious, willing to work hard, and ready to take on a challenge, we are waiting to receive your application.

Please note that this is not an Eikawa position, it is a class teacher position for a group of children who you will see every day for the whole academic year. Please note that applicants must be able to commit to one school year within reason.

We look forward to receiving your application. For further information about our school please visit our website.
