Those salaries are a bit different to some of the teaching vacancies they are advertising. The ones in Ukraine are for about 200 pounds a month with 25 teaching hours.

The British Council has been criticised by independent auditors after paying its chief executive and chief financial officer more than the prime minister, without seeking prior approval from the Treasury.
The organisation, which provides education and cultural opportunities abroad using public money, paid its new head, Sir Ciaran Devane, £185,000, while its CFO, Caroline Stockmann, was given a salary of £142,000 along with a one-off payment of £11,837, the National Audit Office found. |

| Please do not accept these kinds of salaries. I mean really. Do not take the job, or better yet take the job and do as much as possible to inconvenience them before you leave a few days later. |

| I've not heard anything positive about working for the British Council for years, it seems it is festered with corruption from top to bottom. |

It looked interesting until I worked the salary out, how people are supposed to survive on that salary is beyond me!
It seems they use their reputation and supposed charitable status to take people for idiots when working out salaries. |
