Cork English College is looking for New Host Families

For nearly 50 years, Cork English College has worked closely with host families across Cork City, building trusted relationships that are central to the college’s success. As a family-run organisation, CEC places strong emphasis on personal support, clear communication and flexibility for every host household.

This Spring we're looking for new host families to join our network and welcome international teenage students into their homes. Earn extra income by hosting students on a short-term basis, give your family the opportunity of cultural exchange, all with the support & guidance of our experienced accommodation team.

Reliable Income with Flexible Hosting

CEC offers host families the opportunity to earn reliable extra income from their own home, with hosting options designed to fit around modern lifestyles. Many placements are short-term, often lasting just one to two weeks, making hosting an accessible option for households who may not be able to commit long-term.

Choice, Training and Ongoing Support

Host families are never left unsupported. CEC provides:

• Full training and clear guidelines before hosting begins

• The ability to choose student profiles and availability

• Access to an experienced local accommodation team

• A 24/7 emergency support line, offering peace of mind at all times

This hands-on approach ensures hosting is straightforward, well-managed and rewarding.

A Trusted, Cork-Based Partnership

With decades of experience in international education, CEC carefully matches students to suitable homes and remains in close contact with hosts throughout each stay. Host families are treated as long-term partners, not just accommodation providers.

Hosting with Confidence

As student numbers continue to grow, CEC is expanding its host family network in Cork City and suburbs on public transport routes. For households looking to earn extra income while being fully supported by a local, established organisation, hosting with Cork English College offers a secure and professional experience.
