Is every role described by Z Teachers an active vacancy?

No. Role references and active vacancies are different. Teachers should confirm whether a school, city, timetable, package, work-authorisation route and decision process are currently available before applying.

What should a live role explain in writing?

At minimum, ask for the school and campus, age group or subject, timetable, salary basis, housing arrangement, contract length, expected start date and work-authorisation process.

Should I accept a role based on a salary figure alone?

No. The timetable, housing, school management, contract terms, city costs and work-authorisation route can matter as much as the headline salary.

Teaching Jobs in China

Look at the role, not only the salary figure.

A credible opportunity should make the school, work, package, timing and work-authorisation route clear enough for you to decide whether a conversation is worthwhile.

A Clear Distinction

Role references and live vacancies are not the same thing.

We do not label a general example as an active role. Before treating any opportunity as live, ask whether the school, campus, timing, package, work-authorisation route and decision process are currently confirmed.

For Teachers

A useful first conversation is better than a vague application.

Share your background first, then compare it with the facts a school can actually confirm. This protects your time and avoids building plans around incomplete information.

What A Live Role Needs

Look for facts that can be checked.

School and work

School type, campus, age group or subject, curriculum, timetable, office hours and who manages the role.

Package and contract

Salary basis, housing or allowance, insurance, holidays, probation, contract length and material deductions or conditions.

Timeline and process

Interview stages, decision timing, earliest start date, document expectations and how the employer will handle work-authorisation steps.

Role Directions

Different roles ask for different proof.

These are common teaching directions, not currently open positions.

Can the school explain location, schedule, salary basis and housing clearly?
Is there a realistic start date for your current document situation?
Will important terms be confirmed in writing before you make travel plans?
