Details: Looking for a new challenge in your life? You have a fantastic opportunity to explore Sakhalin island!

A private school startup project (nursery and pre-school) on the large Russian Island of Sakhalin is looking to employ an experienced British Teacher (or a Head-Teacher).

You may think that it is a remote place (yes, it’s true), but you will find there a really big community of expats (British, Americans and French). The reason for that is that there are 3 giant oil corporations there. In fact you will live in an area for expats, wealthy Russians and highly qualified specialists. The place has a great infrastructure, different sport activities, mountain skiing. You will have an active social life there, make new friends. In return the school is asking from you the desire to work and long term commitment. The teachers that are working from us there for a year are saying that the school has very human face according to the holiday policy, they also have bonuses as free gyms, free airplane tickets for those who is working long term with them and share the views. If you are qualified, active and full of energy please apply and have a great opportunity in your life as there can be no second chance.

We’ve placed 4 British and 1 Chinese teacher there, all the teachers are very satisfied with conditions there.

Here is a happy feedback from one of our candidates who is currently working there: “Thank you so very much for suggesting this role to me as it is perfect! It is my 7th month now and I love it here. I am learning Russian (slowly) and I have adopted a рыжий кот! His name is Iolo and we are very happy here on the island in our beautiful home. I have made many friendsere and I plan to stay for the full 3 years and possibly more. I am working closely with the director to help the progress of the school and thank you again for helping me find this role.”
