Bright Spark Recruitment is contracted with a government body to recruit qualified teachers for the delivery of the AMEP program, helping newly arrived migrants and refugees gain the language skills they need to settle confidently and thrive in their new communities.

Whether you’re an experienced AMEP teacher, an ELICOS educator, or a TESOL-qualified professional with a strong foundation in adult learning — we’d love to hear from you. If you have a genuine passion for empowering adult migrants and refugees through language and settlement support, you’ll find meaningful, rewarding work in these roles.
