Careers at EF
Open the world with us
EF Education First’s mission is opening the world through education. A career with EF combines the support and opportunity of a large international organisation, with the spirit and energy of a small business. We look for thinkers and doers – creative, collaborative, and motivated people who are excited by education, communication, and travel.

In the UK and Ireland, our core presence is felt at our international language campuses and summer schools, where we welcome students from around the world to participate in language learning and cultural exchange. Whoever you are, whatever you are passionate about—we welcome you and encourage you to open the world through education.
Your Role

You will be planning lessons that create an inspiring, safe, and supportive classroom environment where building your students’ confidence in using language is your primary concern.
