At MLA we have been running successful language courses for Italian students in the UK, Ireland, and USA since 1976. Students, families, and agents from around the world have chosen MLA for the quality of our language courses, for the established trust in our brand, and for the meticulous attention to detail in our packages.

You will be delivering high-quality and communicative EFL Task Based lessons as part of a teaching team in one of our centres. Lessons will include engaging activities to help students develop their skills and, most importantly, learn by doing while speaking in English!

Residential staff work a 6-day week with one 24-hour period off per week. This includes 6 hours of teaching per working day, preparation time and some administrative duties (such as reports, meetings, records). You will not be required to go on excursions, join activities or any pastoral care outside your teaching and admin hours. However, you are welcome to join our students and activity leaders in fun activities if you like. Summer programmes are hard work, and you might, exceptionally, be requested to assist outside your working hours.

Please see our website for the full job description, online application form and details of the application process. We run a rolling recruitment programme so please apply asap.

MLA is committed to ensuring the safeguarding of children and young people and we expect our staff to share this commitment.
