MLI International Schools is one of the leading providers of EFL throughout Ireland and the UK. Our ACELS and British Council accredited residential and host family courses offer an integrated package of English language lessons and activities/excursions to over 5000 teenagers annually during June, July and August. Students are aged between 10 and 18 years old and stay with us for 2, 3 or 4 weeks.

We are accredited by ACELS as well as the British Council and have built up a reputation for high standards of language tuition and student welfare. We offer competitive salaries and strong support for all staff, particularly newly-qualified teachers.

We recruit for June, July and August. The greatest demand is during July.

IRL: All staff must inform us of their PPS Number

UK: All Staff must bring in a current P45. If you don't have one of these, you should complete a P46 (obtainable from the Centre Manager). Staff in full-time education may complete a P38 form.

For staff arriving in the UK (form P86) and when leaving the country (form P85). These enable the Inland Revenue to calculate the tax you should pay and determine how much rebate you may be entitled to.

I'm afraid travel to your centre is not paid. However, if you are required to move centres, we will, of course reimburse your travel expenses.

No problem. 1 or 2 days off for weddings, graduation ceremonies are fine. Please, even though this may have been discussed at interview, let your manager know what time off you need as soon as you arrive at the centre.

Yes, student numbers peak in mid-July and so we can sometimes offer shorter term contracts to cover these busy periods. We cannot offer positions to anyone only available in August.

If you are not a citizen of the European Union, you MUST have a work permit to work in Ireland and the UK. Due to the short-term nature of our contracts, we are unable to provide work permits or sponsor work permit applications for applicants.

If you already hold the necessary documentation, please state this in your application. You will be asked to provide a copy of your visa, passport or work permit befroe your application can be considered further.

We have centres thorughout Ireland and the UK. Click here for the location and details of all our centres.

Each year we take on a number of newly qualified teachers offering plenty of support to teaching staff through a coherent syllabus and pre-designed materials to reduce preparation time. At all centres there is an experienced Director of Studies who will offer guidance and suggestions.
