Teaching Jobs Abroad – What are my options outside of Canada?

For teachers in Canada who want to teach overseas, there are lots of options. Many countries have a shortage of teachers, and schools around the world hold Canadian teachers in high regard. This means that for a qualified Canadian teacher, options for teaching outside of Canada are plentiful.

Why choose the UK?

The UK is a fantastic location for Canadian teaching graduates looking to springboard their career. With well-funded schools, unrivalled opportunities for promotion, and great benefits, the UK is a go-to destination for NQTs the world over.

In order to connect UK schools with enthusiastic and skilled international teachers, Engage Education has set out to make the relocation process as easy as possible. Not only do we find positions for Canadian teachers at UK schools, we get you face-to-face interviews with these employers through our award-winning iday events and provide support throughout the entire relocation process.

Why choose Engage?

iday 

At Engage, we fly teachers to the UK for a week, all-expenses-paid, to participate in these face-to-face interviews, followed by school visits and job offers. You will receive supplementary training to assist you in your interviews and school visits, as well as support before you arrive, free flights, accommodation, and travel to the iday venue.

Virtual iday

If you aren’t able to commit to travelling to the UK for a week of interviews and school visits, we also host a virtual iday! For virtual iday, we use video conferencing software to conduct remote interviews for you with schools in the UK that have been hand-selected to your goals and ambitions.

Relocation bonus

We help Canadian teachers relocating to the UK by providing a £1000 ‘relocation bonus’ spread out over their first year of teaching, to provide a bit of assistance when it comes to making your new house a home, or making the most of your new environment.

Essential help

We’ll help you take care of all the essentials, including:

• Setting up a bank account
• Getting a National Insurance number
• Assisting you in finding new accommodation
• Airport transfers
• Connecting you with other teachers in your new area
• Training on the UK curriculum

If you would like to start your teaching adventure in the UK, register with Engage Education today! One of our Toronto-based team members will be in touch with you as soon as possible to walk you through the process or invite you to our up-coming iday event.
