Expected salary range approximately £30,000–£40,000 per annum, depending on qualifications, experience and the school’s package. Salaries are paid in AED. Accommodation arrangements and other benefits will be explained when discussing the relevant opportunity.
WHY CONSIDER DUBAI?
Dubai offers the opportunity to combine an international teaching career with life in a city known for its beaches, restaurants, cultural attractions and connections to destinations across the region and beyond.

- Plan and deliver engaging lessons in line with the English National Curriculum.
- Adapt teaching to support different abilities and learning needs.
- Assess pupil progress and use it to guide your teaching.
- Create a positive, inclusive and well-managed classroom.
- Build effective relationships with parents and colleagues.
- Contribute to school life and maintain high safeguarding standards.
