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.

When you join EF, you join a multicultural and diverse community working across more than 600 schools and offices in 50 countries. 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

At EF Cambridge’s award winning International Language Campus, you’ll collaborate with a professional academic team and utilise in house teaching materials to deliver EF’s comprehensive academic program. As a teacher, you’ll guide classroom groups of up to 17 language students, often aged 16 and older, and representing a wide range of nationalities. Your primary goal will be to create a supportive and inspiring environment where students feel encouraged to build their confidence and develop their language skills effectively.

Teaching with EF offers you the chance to grow your teaching skills while working alongside a diverse group of colleagues and academic managers. You’ll gain experience addressing a variety of challenges, adapting quickly, and finding effective solutions. You’ll see firsthand how students develop their language skills, make international friendships, and create unforgettable memories during their time with us.

Being part of a classroom where students from around the world connect and grow linguistically is deeply rewarding for teachers at every stage of their careers. It’s this unique experience that draws so many of our teachers back to EF year after year.
