This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well‑regarded British curriculum international school in the heart of Dubai. The school is committed to delivering an exceptional primary education experience across KS1 and KS2, fostering a genuine love of learning in children from the earliest stages of their school journey. With high standards at its core and a genuine belief in the potential of every child, this is a school where dedicated primary practitioners can truly make their mark.

The school community is warm, collaborative, and deeply committed to both student and staff wellbeing — making it an environment where teachers thrive alongside the children they teach.

Dubai is one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting cities, offering an unparalleled quality of life for international professionals. With year‑round sunshine, world‑class infrastructure, tax‑free salaries, and a vibrant expat community, it’s easy to see why so many educators choose Dubai as their base. From stunning beaches and desert adventures to globally renowned dining, shopping, and culture, life outside the classroom here is as enriching as the work inside it.

Dubai is also one of the safest cities in the world, making it a particularly attractive destination for teachers relocating with families.

• Bachelor’s degree in Education, PGCE, or equivalent
• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent professional certification
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are warmly welcomed to apply
• Experience delivering the British National Curriculum at KS1 and/or KS2 is highly desirable

To succeed in this role, you will be a passionate and dedicated primary practitioner who places the child at the centre of everything you do. You will have a strong understanding of the British National Curriculum across KS1 and KS2, with the ability to deliver engaging, well‑structured lessons that meet the needs of every learner in your classroom. Strong communication skills — with children, parents, and colleagues alike — are essential, as is the ability to plan creatively, assess meaningfully, and use data to drive pupil progress.

You will be adaptable, reflective, and genuinely enthusiastic about the difference that high‑quality primary education makes to a child’s long‑term development and life chances. Experience working in an international or multicultural setting is an advantage, though not essential.

The welfare and safety of children is the highest priority in this role and within this school community. All applicants must demonstrate a clear commitment to safeguarding and child protection, including an understanding of their responsibilities under relevant frameworks and policies. You will be expected to maintain professional boundaries at all times, respond appropriately to concerns, and contribute actively to a culture of safety and vigilance.

Experience working within a safer recruitment environment and familiarity with international child protection frameworks will be viewed favourably. All successful candidates will be subject to thorough background checks prior to appointment.
