Finding a teaching job in Spain without an EU work permit.

[KatyRob1010]

I am a British TEFL teacher trying to find a first job teaching English in Spain. I have not found many options yet for teaching without needing an EU work permit before applying. So far, I have only found options with the British Council and Meddeas. I wondered if anyone has any other suggestions of companies or websites to find more opportunities?

Hello Katy,

Is there any specific reason that you want a job from Spain only? There are recruiters I know who can help you. You can contact them; they are good and humble. eslteachingjobinasia.com

Hope it's helpful.

Thanks

These programs, such as the Auxiliares de Conversación program, often provide a student visa which allows you to teach in Spain.
While you’re in Spain, you could teach English to students worldwide through online platforms.
Offer private lessons or work as a freelance English teacher. This might require setting up as an “autónomo” (self-employed) in Spain.
Some international schools may sponsor your work visa.
Websites like TEFL.com and Dave’s ESL Cafe list job opportunities worldwide, including Spain.
Connect with other teachers in Spain through forums, social media groups, or local meetups for potential leads.
EBC offers a program called Road2Spain for non-EU citizens, which includes job placement assistance in Spain.
