Job overview

Doha College is a high profile leading British International School in Qatar delivering a well-balanced, all-embracing English National Curriculum to students aged 3–18. The College was also the first High Performance Learning accredited school in the world. An exciting time for the school, last year we moved to a brand new, 90,000m² state-of-the-art campus, amalgamating two previous sites and ensuring the College’s place at the forefront of educational provision in world-class facilities.
Instrumental Music at Doha College is a flourishing department that offers students one-to-one instrumental music, vocal and theory tuition. The team comprises a team of 6 members teaching instruments including piano, strings, brass, woodwind, guitar, ukulele and voice. We enter students for varying examination boards, competitions and festivals both nationally and internationally in our thriving and busy department.

The opportunity

We are now looking to appoint an experienced and dynamic specialist to join our team, in a full-time capacity. We would prefer a multi-instrumentalist as listed above, but this is not definitive. In addition to woodwind, piano would also be beneficial. As an Instrumental Music Teacher, you will be responsible for students from beginner to diploma level. Doha College uses Google Education Suite, so knowledge of this would be beneficial, alongside high-quality organisation skills and flexibility, amidst a changeable and busy environment.

About you

Applicants should have a degree in music/performance, and a teaching qualification would be advantageous. You should be a highly motivated and successful practitioner, who is willing to contribute in a positive manner to all aspects of the Music Department and wider College life. This is a tremendous opportunity for a music teacher to join our department and further develop their career.

Qatar

A combination of old-world hospitality and cosmopolitan sophistication means that Qatar is a country like no other, and its capital, Doha, is a city that has something for everyone. Performances, museums and galleries make for a captivating cultural scene; city hotspots such as the busy markets and the waterfront promenade are a great way to spend a day; there is a lively night-life that means that there is plenty to do when the sun goes down; the Pearl Qatar offers luxury and elegance; there are some breath-taking areas of natural beauty, and lovers of sport and adventure can enjoy numerous clubs and activities.
Whether you will be looking to move with your family or to come on your own, you are guaranteed a warm welcome.
