[Australia and New Zealand Recruiting] Discover the spirit of Japan working in the Japanese school system. Become an ALT. ‹ Interac ‹ Japan Guide - 2015

We are seeking skilled native-level English speakers currently residing in Australia and New Zealand to fill elementary, junior high, and high school ALT (assistant language teacher) positions throughout Japan starting from spring (Japan’s autumn) 2015 (expect to arrive in Japan any time after the middle of August).

In these positions, you will enrich the lives of children by sharing your knowledge of English and communication skills and giving insights into other cultures. Your job is two-fold: language instructor and cultural ambassador. These two aspects are inseparable, and you, as a successful Interac ALT, will become an expert in both. You can expect to teach classes on your own, with a Japanese teacher present to help manage the classroom.

Before you begin, we will offer you the chance to complete a comprehensive initial orientation and training program. Regardless of your prior teaching experience, we will equip you with the practical skills you need to be an effective Interac ALT. We also offer an ongoing training program so that you can further develop your skills.

Interac ALTs generally work Monday to Friday, with assignments scheduled between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm. From time to time, you may be required to work outside of these hours for things like school events.

Prior to arriving in Japan, an apartment is arranged on your behalf as close as possible to where you will be working. The apartments are intended to accommodate one person. Interac will assist in the connection of utilities and associated services.

Our recruiting in Australia and New Zealand is handled entirely online by our head office in Tokyo. If you pass the initial application screening, a recruiter will contact you for a phone interview to find out more about you and ask some questions regarding your work history, education, and interest in working and living in Japan. If the recruiter feels you have potential, you will be invited to an online interview (usually via Skype).

Before submitting your application, we strongly advise you to check our website at interacnetwork.com. We also recommend that you double check the details on your resume in order to ensure that the phone, email, previous work details, etc. are accurate. If your application is received through GaijinPot, within a few days it will be routed to our recruiting representatives based in Tokyo. You will then be emailed with details on how to login and finalize your application through our website.
