Changes to Swiss law have made it extremely difficult for international schools like Le Rosey to obtain work permits for non-EU citizens. For this reason, applicants without EU passports or Swiss work permits are advised that this reduces their chance of being put on our shortlist. We will, nevertheless, consider all such applications seriously and if the nature of the post and the quality of the application makes us optimistic about the outcome of what can be a long administrative process, we are ready to undertake it.
