Summer Camp Teachers in Japan

Jinseki International School (or JINIS) is an International Preparatory School occupying a stunning site above the Seto Inland Sea about 90 minutes drive from Hiroshima.  

JINIS has been running highly successful English Language Summer Camps since 2017 and is seeking experienced and enthusiastic EAL and English language instructors for children aged between 5 and 9 for its 2025 Summer Camps at different times between June 30 and August 2.

There are three camps: two 1-week camps and one 2-week camp. Further details from last year can be found at https://www.need-japan.com/en/jinis-camp-2024. Applicants should be prepared to teach for a minimum of two weeks but may be contracted for as many as four; they should clearly indicate their preferences in their application statement.

JINIS will provide: 

• A gross salary of about $750 (at current exchange rates) for each week of employment.
• Return economy airfare and/or train fare from the teacher's place of origin to Jinseki via Hiroshima or Fukuyama.
• On-site accommodation for the duration of their contract and food during the camps. (Teachers contracted to teach both the second and third camps are free to travel within Japan during the week between the two.)

In specific circumstances, JINIS may be able to accommodate a teacher’s partner and small family, and applicants should indicate whether they would require this

JINIS is seeking applicants whose first language is English and with:

• A relevant teaching qualification (degree, teaching certification, ELT qualification)
• A lively, communicative but professional pedagogical approach 
• Experience of teaching young children (some with little English)
• Teaching experience ideally in an international setting and possibly in a Summer Camp
• Readiness to work hard and become involved in the activities and broader life of the camp

Jinseki is committed to the highest standards of safeguarding and candidates will be expected to provide evidence of their suitability to work with children.

Applications can be through the TES or the school’s Application Form, which should be completed and sent with a brief covering letter to Ms Nakajima at recruit@jinis.jp Further details of the school can be found on our website. The closing date for the receipt of applications is January 31, 2025.
