Hi everyone

I’m from the UK and my partner and I are starting to seriously consider moving to Japan, specifically Tokyo or the surrounding area.

I’m not looking to teach English unless it becomes an absolute last resort. I’d ideally like to find work in higher education, student services, international programmes, or education/admin operations.

My background is mainly UK higher education and students’ unions (I have over 4 years experience in the sector), with some publishing production/admin experience. I currently work in education quality and academic representation in higher education, so most of my experience is around student-facing services, programme coordination, training, reporting, events and process improvement. I also have a BA honours degree in Creative Writing and English Literature and a master’s degree in Japanese Studies.

I’ve recently applied for a role at Temple University Japan. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who knows or has experience with TUJ, similar universities, or English-speaking higher education/admin routes in Japan.

My Japanese is not business level yet, but I’m learning and want to keep improving, with N2 as a longer-term goal. My partner and I have wanted to live in Japan for a long time, have visited several times, and are trying to understand what is actually realistic before making any big decisions.

I’d really appreciate advice on where to look, what job titles/search terms to use, whether visa sponsorship is realistic for this kind of sector-specific work, and whether there are any people, groups or networks worth connecting with.

If anyone works in higher education, student services, international programmes or education/admin operations in Japan and would be open to giving advice, please feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Just to clarify, I am specifically looking at roles that state visa sponsorship is available or appear open to international applicants. I’m not assuming a standard admin role would sponsor me. I’m mainly trying to find the right places to look for that smaller subset of roles, especially in foreign universities, international schools, student services, international programmes or education/admin operations.
