what ALT Jobs Japan can do for you
If you are searching for an English teaching job in Japan, as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT), where you can earn higher than average wages, you have come to the right place.
the ALT Jobs Japan service
We provide a subscription service that then allows you to access our private members forums advising you as a prospective Assistant Language Teacher, of Japanese Boards of Education (BoE) who hire ALTs directly.
what’s so good about that?
Salary is typically 30-40% higher working directly for BoEs than through recruitment companies. As a subscriber you will be able to access details of these employers directly on the forums.
Your relationship with the Board of Education is closer (and hopefully better) when you are employed directly.
Your bosses, as a direct hire ALT, are the school principals and the BoE as opposed to an agency Human Resources middleman (or woman).
Direct hire positions that we are aware of enrol you in the shakai hoken (national social insurance) program.
Joining the ALT Jobs Japan service means you will get details of some of the best ALT jobs in Japan as well as advice on securing a position that gives you higher than average disposable income.
This site is now run by two direct hire ALTs who between them have over 10 years experience living and working in Japan.
Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) and Native English Teacher (NET) refer to the same job. ALT is the more prevalent term although some Boards of Education prefer to use NET.
