Dear TeachAway

Please advise on applying as a 'teaching couple' (long term relationship, both teachers, same experience and qualifications, not married). 

We are applying for separate positions but in the same location, would like to live together. Is it best to state this from the beginning or later in the application / consideration process?

Any other advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Nita

    Hi Nita;

    Welcome to the forum! Placement together is never guaranteed. However, your best option would be to apply to the same positions and to mention to your placement coordinator that you are a teaching couple. Please be advised that because you are not married, you will not be able to live together, in some countries. I would recommend you to keep an open mind and both apply to the jobs that interest you.

    Good luck with your search
