Academic Tutors – English Literature, Maths, Science And Primary Tutors In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
| Advert | International Tutor Group |
Are you interested in relocating to one of South East Asia’s most vibrant and dynamic cities? Do you want to teach your passion rather than English? We’re currently looking for Maths, Science, English Literature and Primary Level tutors! Tutors can share their passion for their degree subjects, building close relationships and transforming students’ futures.
The International Tutor Group (ITG) is a Tutoring Centre rather than a school, providing 1-1 and small group academic and mentoring support to students from Vietnam’s best international schools. All you need is a flair for your subject, a strong degree, and preferably some experience working with young people. Previous teaching experience is not required, and extensive training and support will be provided.

⭐️Skiworld Begins Recruiting For Ski Season 23/24
FRANCE & AUSTRIA > Skiworld needs resort managers, chalet managers, chalet chefs, chalet hosts, and maintenance people to staff their operations in France and Austria. On UK workers in the EU travel sector, the managing director of Skiworld, Sarah Searson, recently said “Post Brexit, getting the right paperwork for our UK staff to work in France has been challenging and time consuming – but we’ve managed it.” She went on to describe the employment of Britons in Austria as especially difficult as they can only employ EU passport holders there.
⭐️Mark Warner Childcare Jobs
TURKEY & GREECE > Mark Warner is currently advertising two positions in Greece for early years childcare practitioners and a children’s activity leader. The former position is also available in Turkey. Worldwide Kids Company also want creche assistants with at least one year's experience working with children under four years old to pack their bags for Greece.
⭐️British Passport Holders Are Welcome In The French Alps
FRANCE > Ski Famille childcarers and nannies are the reason that so many of their guests return year after year. You will be the main focus and barometer if a family has enjoyed their holiday and if they will travel again with Ski Famille. Their website states in big letters that British passport holders are welcome, with their experienced team guiding you through the process of getting a work visa. Other ski season roles are available here too.
⭐️Tutors Wanted By British Ski Academy
AUSTRIA > Team Evolution Alpine Racing’s roles are a little different from most ski season jobs, offering tutors - in maths, science and English - a chance to get some winter action. They also take on an in-house cook and want to bolster their coaching team, including an apprentice coach, in their efforts to develop their athletes both on and off the slopes.
⭐️Surf Chica Wanted
NEW ZEALAND > The Aotearoa Surf School has a couple of spots left for the upcoming season in NZ. Ideally, they are looking for a surf couple, but singles are also considered and are encouraged to apply. One of their positions needs to be filled by a woman as they have heaps of women's programmes. More details in the private Surf Kobs group or see their website.
⭐️New Chefs Needed For This Coming Winter Season 23/24
FRANCE > Le Hibou, a bar/restaurant in Val d'Isère, need to replace its chefs who are heading on an adventure to Canada. Living arrangements mean that a couple applying would be ideal but by no means essential.
⭐️Help Special Needs Children In Cappadocia
TURKEY > Work in the lunar landscape and fairy chimney rock formations in the heart of the Göreme National Park in Cappadocia. Little Prince Academy is a non profit activity centre catering for the special needs of children in this magical region of Turkey. The first of its kind in Cappadocia, it encourages the development of imagination, creativity, and skills through music, art, theatre, handicraft, drama, dance, and sports in a less institutional environment. For animal lovers they have donkeys, horses, sheep, dogs, cats, pigeons, chickens and geese living on their land.
They can host several volunteers at a time, each of whom is encouraged to be as creative as possible in bringing their projects to life. The English version of their website is essentially one paragraph of text, still in Turkish, and three photos so we suggest reading their listing on Voluntouring.org for more details. Members of Workaway can apply there.
⭐️Driving To And From The Airport For Christmas
EUROPE > Pun loving drivers, aged over 21 and holding an EU passport, can experience driving in snowy and icy conditions up and down mountain roads to and from Geneva airport this coming winter season with Skiidy Gonzales Ski Transfers. They put an ad recently in Anywork Anywhere for experienced airport transport drivers. Powder Byrne wants a driver too for their peak weeks.

AUSTRALIA > Since July 1, UK passport holders can apply for an Australian Working Holiday Visa up to the age of 35, joining citizens of Canada, France and Ireland in working in Australia over the age of 30. Danes and Italians have also benefited recently from the age rise.
The changes come with a price rise to AU$635 for the cost of the visa. A further change is expected in 2024 with the removal of the need to meet specified work requirements to apply for up to an additional two working holiday visas.
Nationals aged 18 to 30 from Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Taiwan also enjoy reciprocal working holiday visa arrangements with Australia. The country is negotiating future agreements with Andorra, Croatia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Monaco.
⭐️Tavern Staff
AUSTRALIA > Watheroo Station Tavern in Western Australia is looking for friendly bar staff with experience in the hospitality industry. They can provide accommodation, but you will need to organise your own transport.
⭐️Caretaker Jobs
DENMARK AUSTRALIA > Renovation work is pausing in August and September on Waterfront Lodge in Denmark, a coastal town in Western Australia. During this time they need a caretaker couple. This is an exchange opportunity but paid work is also possible depending on skills. Another caretaker position, posted last week to Grey Nomads Jobs, may still be available. They are looking for an energetic couple preferably with rural cattle property experience for four to six weeks to be based at Pialah Station 100km North of Richmond, Queensland.
⭐️Mango Picking In Humpty Doo
AUSTRALIA > Mango season is coming soon to the Northern Territory. According to Andy Tay, there are several farms in Humpty Doo near Darwin. Get there for September. Jenko's Mangoes, in nearby Noonamah, have an application form on their website. This YouTuber picked mangos in Humpty Doo in 2019, describing it as a hell of an experience. Dilly Space also shows life on a mango farm.
⭐️You Are Odd
WORLDWIDE >
grew up near the beach and loved the sand so much she used to eat it. With bona fides like this, we feel confident recommending her weekly newsletter , a trove of stories, tips, and behind the scenes breakdowns of the oddest, most unique, and ugliest jobs on this planet.

WORLDWIDE > Singing, dancing, playing musical instruments, acrobatics, fitness instruction, leading activities and erm, yeah, there are plenty of ways people can leverage their talent into time and money overseas as an animator.
⭐️Are You Uniquely Staffler?
AUSTRIA > The staff they employ at the Staffler have to be a very special breed indeed, says the copy on the jobs page of this regularly award winning hotel in the Austrian Tyrol. They’ve got a number of job opportunities for this season, including ski guides, Irish bar staff and housekeeping, and suggest getting in touch with them if you think one of their roles is the right fit for you.

⭐️Digital Editor At Sea
AT SEA > Italian Cruise company Costa Crociere was recently advertising their digital editor role. We gave up trying to convey what this job actually entails but if you have at least one year of experience in advertising/marketing then implementation of the digital signage, screens, and TV Costa channel playlist and adherence of the broadcasted media contents to the brand visual identity and positioning should make sense to you.

AT SEA > Park West Gallery is currently seeking dynamic sales professionals who are entrepreneurial, self motivated and looking to realize their full potential while living and working aboard a luxury cruise ship.

FRANCE > We have a bigger post lined up for a future issue of JAB on volunteering in a château in France but spotted this listing posted recently by Château La Briance. They seek to entice volunteers over the summer holidays into doing some cooking and cleaning in return for food, accommodation and help with travel expenses from other parts of Europe.

MALDIVES > We have been on Booking.com a lot this week looking for accommodation for our upcoming trip to Morocco. Faced with nothing but a boring list of responsibilities to fill this post we instead sought inspiration from the guest reviews for JA Manafaru Maldives, where you could be working as their kids club attendant. Unlike the run down options available to us within our price range in Tangier, there’s a conspicuous absence of references to stinky drains, prostitutes hanging around the entrance, and paper thin walls. Other vacancies here include one for a social media content creator.
⭐️MARS Animal Rescue
CANADA > Answering an enquiry in the Wildlife Workers’ Network Facebook group, Ali Marschner recommended MARS Wildlife Rescue Centre, on Vancouver Island, as a place to volunteer. They give you a free place to stay on site but it is unpaid work, she said, adding they are really great people doing really great things in a really great place! Ali continued by saying you need to apply for certain times of the year and they are usually looking for more help in the spring due to baby season. There is a couple ski hills on the island if you are there in winter or early spring, and lots of beach things to do if you’re there later in the year.
⭐️Morzine Resort Staff
FRANCE > The Boutique Chalet Company still has open positions for resort staff in Morzine to do the accounts and admin. Other positions that they may still have available are listed here.

In return for private accommodation (not including food) in a farm house they expect four hours of your time per day helping to provide a loving home to 200 cats.

⭐️Alpine Bar Work
FRANCE > Meribel’s Le Rond Point, aka The Ronnie, still haven’t fixed the shonky link on their website that says come join our team but, once again, their social media comes to the rescue of ski job hunters looking for front of house, floor, kitchen and housekeeping positions. This year they are not asking for an application form. Instead, answer some very short video questions and submit your CV before, fingers crossed, going straight into a final stage interview.

USA & BOTSWANA > Applications are open until July 16 for the wildlife rehabilitation manager position currently available with Chintimini Wildlife Center in Oregon.

GREECE > Orfia Retreats/Glamping is welcoming a volunteer to help them with a combination of giving massages to their guests and tending to small tasks in the garden on the Greek island of Kefalonia.
⭐️Insta Money
REMOTE > A few months ago we were asked what our fee would be to post a 90 second reel on Instagram for a travel and hospitality website (who are also currently looking for a freelance journalist. See below for more details).
Specifically, we would read clearly and with enthusiasm to our phone a custom written article from said website. As uncontacted tribes in the Amazon took to social media quicker than us our Instagram presence is negligible and, adding our generally grumpy demeanour, muttering elocution and habit of glaring at cameras with hostile suspicion, we felt this wasn’t something we could fairly ask for money to do.
Your skill set and socials numbers may be perfect for this sort of thing though, helping to fund your time away from home. Deanna Troy is one traveller that monetizes her presence on video platforms, YouTube in her case, from page views and sponsored videos from brands that align with her niche. She explains how to Charmaine Yip. Neil Patel and Hootsuite have some suggestions for making money with Instagram.
⭐️Freelance Travel And Hospitality Journalist
REMOTE > Founded in 2017, The Lost Executive Ltd is a travel and hospitality media outlet specialising in the creation of high quality editorial content for suppliers, destinations, operators and events. You’ll need to be able to thrive under pressure, think outside of the box, be creative, work hard and on your own steam for this role. The successful applicant will be comfortable conducting telephone interviews with business leaders and relevant people and completing final copy to meet editorial deadlines. They will also be comfortable pitching ideas to the editor directly to get sign off and able to work proactively and remotely.
⭐️Private Chalet Owners In Austria Are Looking For A Seasonal Chef For The Winter
AUSTRIA > Greycoat Lumleys is assisting in the search for a skilled and experienced chef to join the team running a luxury chalet in St Anton.
⭐️Laser Tag and Axe Throwing

Your mission will be to host activities such as high ropes and zip wires, archery, laser tag and lobbing axes. Full training will be provided including recognised qualifications, plus salary and a place to rest your head in between missions.
⭐️Random Cruise Ship Vacancies
AT SEA > This, this and this one are three random cruise ship vacancies we copied and inserted hyperlinks to today.
