職務内容

Could You Be the Heart of Our Teaching Team?

Journeys English, one of Fukuoka’s leading independent English language schools, is seeking a dedicated and experienced Senior Teacher to join our growing team.

As we approach our 12th year of success, we've grown from a single owner-teacher operation to a medium-scale school employing a team of 20.

Over 1,000 students have benefited from the Journeys Way of improving their English communication skills, equipping them for an increasingly international world.

With the recent acquisition of a second branch, we are expanding our teaching team and looking for a full-time Senior Teacher to take on a key instructional role across both locations.

If you are passionate about teaching, thrive in a dynamic environment, and want to make a meaningful impact on students of all ages, we’d love to hear from you!

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will have:

Fluent English proficiency and conversational Japanese language skills.
Current residence in Japan with a valid work visa.
3 years full-time or 5 years part-time teaching experience with both adults and young learners (including preschoolers) in Japan.
A commitment to an 18-month minimum in this role.
Expertise in lesson planning and the ability to deliver high-quality, engaging classes for a range of student levels and ages.
A strong work ethic and high energy level, with the organisational skills to thrive in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
Flexibility to adapt to our teaching approach and the evolving needs of the English education industry.
A BA/BS university degree (higher academic or teaching qualifications like CELTA are respected but not required).

What We Offer

Monthly salary: ¥260,000 - ¥290,000 (based on experience).
Performance-based bonus every 6 months.
20 days paid holiday.
Two consecutive days off per week.
Visa sponsorship (current valid work visa required).
The opportunity to play a pivotal role in a growing, dynamic company and gain valuable teaching experience.
The chance to live and work (if not already) in Japan's fastest-growing city, Fukuoka, and experience the unique opportunities and vibrant lifestyle it offers.

Your Responsibilities

Prepare and teach high-quality classes at both our main school and new branch (2–3 days at each).
Perform student level checks and collaborate with the Student Support Team to ensure student progress and retention.
Support the School Directors and Managers with training, marketing campaigns, event planning, and staff well-being.
Provide feedback and guidance to students to help them achieve their language goals.

This is not your average teaching job in Japan.
