Foreign language assistant posts are normally recruited in the applicant's country of origin. For further information please visit the British Council website.

Some schools may recruit language assistants directly. The best place to look for such jobs are the Times Education Supplement (TES), the Guardian jobs site (the education supplement is in Tuesday’s print edition) and Eteach. You can also try looking on the websites of the local authorities. The Directgov site provides a listing of local authority websites and also a jobs and skills search facility.
