Job Description

Are you an ALT currently and frustrated with your location, conditions, or environment? This may be a great position for you!

At Interac, we know that today’s Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) are looking for much more than just a job placement. You are looking for a convenient position with training and support from your employer, all while offering a secure, comfortable standard of living.

We are currently recruiting motivated individuals to join public schools in the vibrant, centrally-located community of Kita-ku, Tokyo. If you are seeking a professional upgrade from your current dispatch company, we offer a foundation built entirely on respect, financial transparency, and professional growth.

The Reality of the Role:

You will be placed in public elementary schools, working a stable schedule Monday through Friday, from 8 to 5. Your weekends and public holidays are fiercely protected, allowing you the time to explore and recharge.

Rather than acting as a passive assistant, you will be an active pedagogical partner, acting as T1 or T2 as the situation requires.

Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Co-teaching dynamic, communicative English lessons alongside Japanese Homeroom Teachers (HRTs.)
  
• Autonomously developing and implementing engaging classroom activities, tailored worksheets, and conversation games.
  
• Assisting with extracurricular activities, such as English Clubs, speech contest mentoring, or school sports days, fostering genuine, lasting connections with your students.
  
• Acting as an authentic cultural ambassador, bringing global perspectives into the Japanese classroom.
  

Uncompromising Support & Benefits:

We operate on the belief that you can only support your students if your employer fully supports you. We proudly offer an industry-leading compensation package:

• Predictable Income: A guaranteed, fixed monthly salary of JPY.
  
• Transparent Holiday Pay: Unlike dispatch companies that leave you financially stranded in the summer/winter, we ensure you'll get 12 monthly payments throughout the year.
  
• Comprehensive Social Insurance: Immediate enrollment in Shakai Hoken (Health Insurance and Pension). We pay our legal corporate share, ensuring your long-term security and healthcare access.
  
• Commuting: 100% of your work-related commuting costs are reimbursed monthly..
  
• Dedicated Visa Sponsorship: Full sponsorship for the Instructor Visa if required.

• A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in any academic discipline.
  
• A minimum of 12 years of formal education conducted entirely in English.
  
• A high degree of professional adaptability; Japanese public schools require immense patience, flexibility, and a positive approach to sudden schedule changes.
  
• A minimum of 2 years teaching experience as an ALT in Japanese schools, 3+ years preferred.
• No visible tattoos or body modifications. No tattoos visible on the hands, wrists, face, neck, ears.

Bonus Qualifications:

• TEFL/TESOL certification
• Conversational Japanese skills
