Are you eager to experience the wonders of life on the opposite side of the globe? Embark on a Gap Year adventure, where you can make unforgettable memories. Immerse yourself in the pulse of a new city through a working holiday—whichever path you choose, step out and embrace the real world!
You could be taking a selfie with a kangaroo in Australia, skiing in Queenstown in New Zealand or visiting the waterfalls in Thailand. Whichever programme you choose, we're confident you'll learn, grow and travel whilst also getting paid.
Our Gap Year programmes are paid where you will work and live in a school or educational setting, using the holidays to travel as much as you possibly can. Meals and accommodation are included, so you can spend more of your earnings on your next trips.
We're with you every step of the way. Our teams will welcome you when you arrive and you will partake in a 3-day orientation programme to meet your fellow participants. Following this, you'll head to your placement to begin a year you'll never forget.
Highlights
Work in a fun and safe environment in a boarding or day school
Paid position with meals and accommodation included
Meet other School Assistants from all over the world
Travel on your days off or over the school holidays (road trips, New Zealand, Fiji or Bali!)
The job description
a typical day on this gap project
A paid Gap Year in Australia will be one of the best years of your life!
Imagine this, you arrive at the airport to be met by the Letz Live team. They escort you straight to the zoo where you come up close to kangaroos and koalas! You'll spend the first 3 days on the Gold Coast meeting other Letz Live gappies who have arrived from all over the world.
Following this, you'll transfer to your school placement, which will become your home for the year. Working as a school assistant you may be supporting students before or after lessons, supervising the boarding house or meal times, taking students to off-site appointments, running sports activities and more. No two days are the same but we assure you it's lot of fun.
The best part - you can spend your days off and all of the school holidays travelling! Whether this is around Australia or further afield, such as Fiji or Bali, the options are quite literally endless.
