About the Employer

Established in 2013 our client is a privately owned company that has evolved into a leading provider of modern teaching opportunities across southern China. To date, having sponsored over 5,000 teachers across their extensive teaching community, our client is licensed by both the Ministry of Foreign Expert’s Bureau, and the Human Resource Department, of the People’s Republic of China. The client has a firm commitment to transparency and support for their teaching staff and they handle all details and logistics, which allows teachers to focus solely on their teaching. From recruitment and training to seamless placement in partner schools, our client takes care of the entire process; supporting teachers to gain work visas, ensuring timely salary disbursements, and providing comprehensive support for teachers’ needs while living and working in China. Life in China is generally considerably less expensive than in Western countries, and with most of the school locations being outside the big centres, living costs are more reasonable by comparison.
