SKIP is a Charity working with disadvantaged families in the El Porvenir area of Trujillo, Peru.
We need to recruit teachers for the English Teaching Programme.

We urgently need more teachers for the start of the term in the middle of August. There will be two hours of direct teaching per working day, with the remaining time used for planning lessons and developing the curriculum, with assistance from the English Teaching Coordinator. There will also be the opportunity to be involved in other Projects that we are running, we can talk about the areas you would be interested in during the application process.

A level of Spanish speaking ability would be of use although not essential. However, prospective volunteers would be encouraged to learn as much Spanish as they can prior to arrival as it will enhance their volunteering experience.

We ask for a contribution of $350 (US) per month from volunteers who receive in return free accommodation. Volunteer contributions make up one third of the overall budget for the charity and so we do rely on the to be able to continue working here. Volunteers can consider fundraising the contribution, feel free to contact us for ideas - people can choose to fundraise for a specific project if they wish. There is a gradual decrease in the fee for those staying longer than two months, $250 per month for the 3rd-5th month, $180 per month for the 6th-8th month and $125 per month for the 9th-12th month.

We are now actively seeking teachers for the start of the new term in August
