Vacancy detail

Task requirements   Domestic Considerations:
There is no local English-language schooling for children.  Should the incumbent arrives accompanied, children will have to go to the British School in Gdansk, where almost all international Staff send their children. 

Gdansk is a city of about 650,000 people with an airport with Ryanair and Wizzair flights to London.  It is about an hour’s commute from Elblag each way.  Many international staff carpool between Gdansk and Elblag.

Also note that there are few people who speak English in Elblag outside of the HQ, so partners may wish to take Polish lessons.
