Has anyone else noticed that whenever there is a flare-up somewhere in the world, someone suddenly feels compelled to teach English there?

Only natural I suppose. If the Spanish do snatch it back, I guess they'll be some good ESP opportunities. English for Conquering Force 101 anyone?

I can't imagine there is much (if any) work in Gibraltar. Most locals will speak fluent English, and all of the schools in the territory use English as their language of instruction.
The Gibraltarian state education system closely follows the English system. If you wish to work in a state school you need UK QTS status.

Even if there were TEFL schools based in Gibraltar, you almost certainly couldn't afford to live there, and would have to commute from Spain daily.

Your best bet is looking for schools on the Costa del Sol, Malaga, Cadiz or Seville as they are all fairly close to Gibraltar.

It would help your CV immensely if, in addition to QTS, you had experience with HM Secret Services in close quarters combat ... and if you knew how to drive a tank ..
