United Kingdom

Home to the Beatles, David Beckham, the Mini Minor and Shakespeare, the United Kingdom has something to offer everyone. From the bustling cities of London and Manchester you can travel through the Yorkshire Dales and countless quaint villages to the Welsh capital Cardiff and Scotland’s Edinburgh.

Living and working in the United Kingdom offers you the luxury of working in an English speaking country and establishing a ‘base’ for frequent excursions by train / bus / plane into Europe.

The United Kingdom is by far the most popular destination Letz Live currently offers placements in. We seek mature, reliable and independent individuals who are prepared to assist in classroom activities, on the performing arts stage and kick a ball on the sports field.

The United Kingdom is buzzing in the lead up to the 2012 Olympic Games – why not get over there and be apart of the build up?

Former participants thoughts

"As a GAP assistant I have been responsible for teaching a variety of things; from Netball to I.T, Music to Math's, I have immersed myself in English culture and discovered that I don't like Marmite (English version of Vegemite), but love a scone with a cup of tea and no matter how hard I try, thongs will never be 'flip-flops' and chips never 'crisps'."

Karly Goodman, New South Wales


"Throughout my time, I developed a strong friendship with both the staff and students and became integrated into the family lifestyle and atmosphere of the school. As everyone is so friendly, you feel as though the UK and your school really is your 'home away from home'."

Caitlin Scantlebury, Queensland


"The raw experience that I have gained so far from my GAP year is something I could only have ever dreamed of. My school in Yorkshire is brilliant and the holidays are plentiful - so having fun is almost guaranteed."

Tu Lesuma, Tasmania
