English Language Trainer

English Language Trainers - Saudi Construction Skills Training Centre

PINZ has been approached by a Saudi group to provide training and management services for a construction skills training centre in the Jazan Province for an initial pilot period of 6.5 months. Around 500 Saudi male school leavers and ‘second chance’ learners aged 18-24 years with beginner English levels will be enrolled. The language of instruction will be English. The program objectives are to provide sufficient basic skills for trainees to enter the workforce of their sponsor and continue into further study that will articulate into an overall two-year diploma.

English Language Trainers

PINZ is seeking expression of interest from qualified ESL Trainers interested in working in a Middle Eastern setting, focusing on passing on their knowledge and experience to sponsored trainees requiring English language (and separately trades) training in the construction and building industry.

The contract for this project is not yet confirmed and signed; a final decision will be made within the next one to two weeks. If PINZ and the Saudi group sign a contract, initially 25 ESL Trainers are required to start in late August 2013. The minimum commitment is 6.5 months from 31 August 2013 to 12 March 2014, including working through the Christmas 2013 / 2014 period. If the contract is extended beyond March 2014, contracts will be renewable by mutual agreement.

English Studies Program

Trimester One (T1) runs from 7 Sept to 4 Dec 2013, and Trimester Two (T2) from 14 Dec 2013 to 12 Mar 2014. The training programs are divided into English and trade-related topics. ESL Trainers will teach the English curriculum.

T1’s ESL program will focus on basic English skills to build the foundation for a more specialist technical vocabulary starting in the subsequent trimester.

Expression of Interest Requirements

• Native English speaker
• Citizen of Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, UK, or US (dual nationality with an Arabic-speaking background will be considered)
• Minimum of 5 years post-qualification relevant work experience
• Have tertiary qualifications related to ESL teaching (minimum of CELTA / DELTA certificates or higher)
• Prepared to relocate to Saudi on an unaccompanied basis due to limited family facilities and services in Jazan province

How to Express Interest

Please apply online. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis, but to meet the late August deployment timeframe, initial 25 trainers should be approved and appointed by 31 July 2013. Due to high application volume, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for a Skype interview and further documentation.
