Qualified Teacher
Careers
Join the Nattives Mission!
We’re on a mission to make learning simple, fun and fast.
Our values
Our values shape our recruitment process, the way we treat our community, and how we hold ourselves to account. These values are the traits we need to keep our community great.
Passionate about teaching and learning
You either love it or you don’t, and we absolutely love it. Learning and teaching gives us the energy to keep pushing towards our mission.
Friendly
Our classrooms and workplaces should be safe, engaging, and fun places to learn. Those who genuinely enjoy meeting people will help Nattives thrive.
Brave
You need to be brave to be vulnerable enough to make mistakes through the learning process. Understanding and empathising with the discomfort of being a language-learner is priceless.
Useful
If traditional language-learning approaches worked, we’d all leave school totally fluent. We focus on practical and relevant English conversational skills. Progress, not perfection.
Our hiring principles
01
You can teach skill, but you can’t teach attitude or character. That’s why we hire people with the latter, and leave the former to later.
02
We can’t achieve our mission, and truly represent our community, without having a diverse team where everyone feels included. Inclusivity builds respect for differences, and we want to be different.
03
Teacher, student, and team wellbeing and development is super important to us. We expect every person we hire to teach us new things and be receptive to new ways of doing things.
The application process
Telephone interview
The goal here is to learn about each other. You should ask as many questions as you want or need.
