There's one in my area of Italy, but all the language training is done via a language school. You can count on the wages being far lower than if you were appointed directly by the organisation itself. I was recently offered �18 an hour for corporate classes here (again, via a language school rather than directly) which, after tax and social security, leaves you about �11.

In the past few years I've seen jobs with the military in Spain and Italy. But I think mainly fixed term short contracts for a few months.

Another option is to look at the UN and EEC websites. In the past it was possible to register and express an interest/ability.

Sorry not to be more specific. Good luck too!
