Dispatch English Teacher (Kanto-Based) – Visa Support Available & Travel Opportunities

What is a Dispatch Teacher? While traditional instructors stay at a single school, our Dispatch Teachers go where they are needed most – stepping in to cover classes and ensure a smooth student experience at YARUKI Switch Group schools across Japan (Kids Duo, i Kids Star, and WinBe). Where will you be located? In many cases, you will work at a location for a month or two at a time, providing an essential service to a school and its students. You will be based in the Kanto region, but you must be ready to take on assignments across the country, including in Chubu, Kansai, and Tohoku. Who is this role for? This role is a great opportunity for newer teachers to gain experience with various age groups and school cultures before deciding on a long-term career path in education. It is also a great fit for experienced teachers who are looking to broaden their skills and take on new challenges. If you love cultural exchange, thrive on problem-solving, and want to experience local Japanese communities firsthand, this is the perfect role for you! ◆ WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU? • ¥247,590/month (¥235,800 base salary + ¥11,790 operational allowance). • Opportunities for regular overtime pay (depending on the brand you are working with; please see below for details). • ¥100,000 contract-renewal bonus upon successful completion of your contract. • Evaluations twice per year based on performance, which can lead to raises and promotions. • Ten paid days of leave per year (after six months of employment), in addition to national Japanese holidays. • Work-related commuting costs are fully reimbursed; accommodations are provided for long-distance dispatch work (all within company policy). • Fully paid initial training, including accommodation and transportation reimbursement. • Japanese Social Security and Health Insurance provided. • Visa sponsorship and renewal support available. • Support with securing housing, opening bank accounts, and more to help you settle into life in Japan. ◆ HOW WILL YOU GROW PROFESSIONALLY? • Receive strong guidance and assistance from our friendly in-office support team as you navigate different assignments.
