Description

Teach Away is currently accepting applications from certified teachers from Commonwealth Nation for teaching jobs in Brunei to teach within Brunei's public school system. Teaching in the local primary and secondary schools allows teachers to gain international teaching experience while truly diving into the culture. Teachers can expect to earn a lucrative salary and yet enjoy a more open schedule than what they may be used to back home. Only elementary school teachers with a minimum of three years of experience within the past five years will be considered for these positions.

Teach Away is now hiring Elementary School Teachers that hold a degree from one of the following countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, South Africa.

Brunei Darussalam is home to hot weather, sandy beaches, and lush forests, all in a safe and wealthy environment. Located on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo, Brunei shares the island with parts of Malaysia and Indonesia. From a foreigner's standpoint, the country is considered clean, safe, and a hub from which travel to other nearby countries is easy. Hence, it's not rare to see foreigners from many nations living throughout the country, especially around the capital of Bandar Seri Begawan. In many cases, expatriates often find the lifestyle in Brunei to be more accommodating than what they experienced in their native country; the official language is Malay, but English is widely spoken and understood; international schools are available for expatriate children; a range of international cuisine exists; and the cost of living is relatively low, especially considering that there is no income tax.
