Ireland

Teaching in the UK is a thrilling experience for Irish teachers

Irish teachers have the world at their feet because schools in the UK, the UAE and Asian countries such as China are all looking for gifted teachers.

So not only does a move overseas mean Irish teachers with a wanderlust get a chance to explore a new part of the world during the school holidays, it’s often hugely beneficial professionally too. The high number of teaching and substitute vacancies worldwide mean newly qualified teachers are likely to walk straight into their own classroom and more established educators get to take on new challenges and responsibility.

If you haven’t received a full registration with the Irish Teaching Council, we recommend you begin your foreign teaching journey in the UK which will help you achieve full registration. Once you have that qualification, TimePlan Education will be delighted to assist with your next overseas placement, either in Asia or the Middle East.

As well as helping you gain ITC registration, a few years’ experience in a British school opens doors for you at British International Schools all over the world – and we can help Irish teachers with these placements too.

TimePlan Education is here to make your teaching adventure a stress-free reality. Not only will our supportive and experienced team help you gather the correct documentation, find you a vacancy that fits your career goals and assist with training and interview preparation, you’ll become part of our extended family, enjoying friendly emotional support and a full calendar of social events from the minute you arrive. We can also help you gain full registration with the Irish Teaching Council.
