Job Description

An EAL Coordinator / English Teacher is required for October 2026 at an exceptional, BSO-accredited British international school in Abu Dhabi—one of only a select few in the UAE to be recognised in the Spear’s Schools Index as a leading private school in the Middle East. As the sister school to an award-winning independent school in the UK, founded in 1845 and named Independent School of the Decade, you will be joining a community built on heritage, academic excellence and a forward-thinking approach to education. The school prides itself on its warm, collaborative environment, where passionate and dedicated teachers genuinely support one another. Whether you’re seeking professional guidance or simply a friendly face in the staff room, you will feel part of a team from day one. With smaller-than-average class sizes, you’ll have the freedom to truly teach—focusing on each child as an individual, nurturing meaningful relationships and delivering high-quality, engaging learning experiences without the distraction of classroom overcrowding. The campus itself is designed to inspire. State-of-the-art facilities include a shaded 25m swimming pool, full-size 4G astro pitch, recording studio, photography darkroom, modern fitness suite, tennis courts, expansive outdoor spaces and bright, open classrooms—creating an environment where both students and teachers can thrive. Located in the UAE’s stunning capital, Abu Dhabi, and within close proximity to the iconic Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the school offers an enviable lifestyle. Expect year-round sunshine, striking architecture, pristine beaches and a vibrant cultural scene. Just under an hour from Dubai, you’ll also have easy access to everything the region is known for—from world-class dining and beach clubs to rooftop brunches, wellness classes, desert escapes and a welcoming international community. Whether you prefer an active social life or peaceful downtime, there is truly something for everyone. Accommodation is conveniently located just 15 minutes from the school, eliminating long commutes. Provided in your first year, you will then have the option to continue with school accommodation or take a housing allowance, giving you the flexibility to create a home that suits your lifestyle. Teachers are supported with a fantastic relocation package, including: • Tax free salary, based on years of experience. • Rent free accommodation • Initial flights for teacher + dependents • Flight allowance • Medical insurance for teacher + dependents • Visas for teacher + dependents Requirements: • Experience teaching Secondary English, in a school following the National Curriculum for England. • Extensive EAL teaching experience. • Experience leading the EAL department is highly desirable but not essential. • Qualified Teacher Status.
