International-school teaching
MU-01Qualified school teaching in Mauritius
A specialist school-teaching destination rather than an established beginner TEFL placement route. Primary teachers, English subject teachers and EAL specialists should match their training to an individual school’s curriculum and vacancy.
Source-led route overview checked 2026-11-08; a recruitment page is not confirmation of a suitable open vacancy.
- Who should explore it
- Northfields’ employer-published Year 3 recruitment example requests PGCE, QTS or an equivalent qualification, alongside academic credentials, pastoral capability and teaching expertise. Treat this as evidence of the level sought by that school; it does not establish a universal national qualification rule or an exemption from any local approval.
- Pay evidence
- A teacher salary, housing allowance and savings estimate have not been verified for this profile. Request a full written package including basic salary, deductions, accommodation, transport, medical cover, relocation and any school-fee concession for children before comparing offers.
- Working pattern
- Confirm classroom hours, preparation, meetings, cover and paid holidays in the written offer; no national working-week estimate is established here.
- Length of placement
- Employer-specific; confirm start date, probation, renewal and notice before accepting.
- Work permission
- An eligible professional may use the employer-applied Occupation Permit route, which combines work and residence permission. Mauritius also operates a separate work-permit and employment-residence route. The employer must identify the applicable route and obtain the necessary approvals; the Passport and Immigration Office states that tourist or business entry does not entitle the holder to take employment.
- Support and benefits
- Confirm housing, flights, relocation support and medical cover in writing. These are not assumed to be included.

Documents, healthcare and remaining checks
- Professional recognition
- Match the employer’s stated criteria to your exact qualifications. Confirm any local registration or recognition separately; a UK credential does not itself grant immigration permission.
- Documents
- Confirm the authority’s current checklist and the employer’s safeguarding requirements; do not send originals or pay a recruiter until its identity and process are verified.
- Healthcare
- Obtain written evidence of cover, exclusions, emergency arrangements and any separate cover required for dependants.
- Initial costs
- Price document authentication, permit charges, travel, accommodation deposits and an arrival reserve for the actual location.
- First payment
- Not established by this overview. Confirm the first payroll date and which costs you must fund before reimbursement.
