Slots are limited and allocated after a short screening call, so please apply early. Venue details are confirmed when your slot is booked.

The opportunity:

A well-funded, government-backed school in Abu Dhabi is building an international teaching faculty for the first time at this scale. The school is raising academic standards and has launched an International Pathway leading to Cambridge IGCSE, with first examinations in June 2027.

This is not a typical expatriate international school. Students are predominantly Emirati and bilingual, every class is a bilingual class, and the curriculum is Ministry of Education aligned with British-style international breadth built in. The school is changing quickly, and the teachers who thrive here are those who want to help build something and are genuinely curious about the culture they are joining.

Conditions that let you teach:

• Teaching load capped at 22 lessons (45 minutes each) per week
• Mainstream classes under 24 students
• Monday to Friday working week
• A laptop for every teacher, smartboards with AI software, Microsoft 365
• Science and IT labs, sports hall, swimming pool, library and a dedicated inclusion department.

The roles:

Maths Teacher Teach Mathematics across Grades 7–11, including the new IGCSE pathway in Grades 9–10. You'll plan engaging lessons for bilingual learners, track progress closely and help raise attainment as the school's international pathway grows.

English Teacher Teach English language and literature across Grades 7–11, including IGCSE. English is the language of instruction, so your work underpins learning across every subject. Experience supporting students learning in a second language is a real advantage.

Science Teacher Teach Science across Grades 7–11, with IGCSE in the senior grades, using well-equipped laboratories. Specialists in Biology, Chemistry or Physics are welcome, as is a strong interest in STEM and cross-curricular project work.
Inclusion / SEN Teacher Work within the school's inclusion department, supporting students with additional learning needs. You'll assess needs, plan targeted support and intervention, and work alongside class teachers to make lessons accessible to every learner.

Wellbeing / School Counsellor Lead and deliver student wellbeing and support across Grades 7-11, working with students, teachers and families. You'll provide one-to-one and group support and help shape a positive, safe school culture.

What we're looking for:

Teaching roles (Maths, English, Science, Inclusion/SEN)
• A degree in your subject or in education (2:1 or above; a 2:2 is considered alongside a postgraduate qualification)
• A recognised teaching qualification (BEd, or a degree plus PME or PGCE or Irish equivalent)
• Current registration with the Teaching Council of Ireland, or an equivalent registration
• At least three years' classroom experience teaching your subject
• Excellent spoken and written English

Wellbeing / School Counsellor:

• A degree in counselling, psychology, social work, education or a related field
• At least three years' experience in school counselling or student support
• Excellent spoken and written English

We welcome applications from teachers currently in Ireland and from Irish-trained teachers working overseas. Many teachers in Ireland consider this kind of move as part of a career break, and the August 2027 start date fits that timeline well.

The package:

A competitive, tax-free package that rises with your experience, including:

• Tax-free monthly salary based on your years of experience
• A separate monthly housing allowance, with an advance available on arrival to help with upfront rent
• Annual flight allowance
• Comprehensive health insurance
• Education allowance towards children's schooling

Full package details are shared during your screening call.

A short screening call with our team follows, then a face-to-face interview in Dublin. If you can only attend at the weekend or after school, just tell us when you apply.
