Could this be the most economical way to experience living and working in the UK. Letz Live School Gap Assistant program offers participants the opportunity to live and work in one of the UK's leading boarding school establishments. In return, the school will offer you free accommodation, food and you will also receive a weekly stipend that you can save for your overseas escapades into Europe. Register your application early - as placements are limited (and VERY popular)!
Home to the Beatles, David Beckham, the Mini Minor and Shakespeare, the United Kingdom has something to offer everyone. From the bustling cities of London and Manchester you can travel through the Yorkshire Dales and countless quaint villages to the Welsh capital Cardiff and Scotland’s Edinburgh.
Living and working in the United Kingdom offers you the luxury of working in an English speaking country and establishing a ‘base’ for frequent excursions by train / bus / plane into Europe. The United Kingdom is by far the most popular destination Letz Live currently offers placements in. We seek mature, reliable and independent individuals who are prepared to assist in classroom activities, lend their flair to the performing arts program and kick a ball on the sports field.
The United Kingdom is buzzing in the lead up to the 2012 Olympic Games – why not get over there and be apart of the build up?
