Nursery Teacher

Nursery Teacher

Bloom World Academy, located in the centre of Dubai in a state-of-the-art new
building/campus, is seeking to appoint a Nursery Teacher for our brand new
bespoke nursery to start in August ‎2023.

Our Story

Bloom World Academy was launched in August ‎2022 and educates children
from ‎18 months to ‎18 years. The school has been hugely successful, so far, in
challenging convention and doing things differently in Dubai for the benefit
of learners, families and teachers.
After a very successful first year of operation, we are looking to expand our
offering next academic year to a small nursery that will sit a part of our
Primo (early years) section. We are initially opening two groups in our
nursery and are now looking for staff for this.
BWA is a school which puts family-life first - we encourage parents to be in
school, even work from school in our community cafe, attend regular workshops
and to join our weekly, celebratory community forum. The expansion to a
nursery as a part of this school is an expansion of our family first offering
to our community. Priority placement in our nursery would be offered to our
current families.
Every aspect of learning and teaching at Bloom World Academy has been
considered - how we do it, why we do it and the impact it is having. This has
directly led to many firsts for the UAE. BWA is the first school in UAE to
start at 9am; the first school where each student and their family can choose
their own timetable (learning pathways), and a school where each student has a
Learning Achievement Passport (LAP) - where the performance and progress is
shared with the student and family several times a year.
Our approach has been successful, we are exceeding all expectations, and
therefore wish and need to appoint a notable number of creative and dedicated
teachers, expert practitioners - who really want to apply their skills in a
forward-thinking, creative school where the craft of teaching is highly
valued.

Nursery Teacher - the Position

Bloom World Academy is seeking creative and expert practitioners for the role
of Nursery Teacher for the Primo (nursery) section of our school .
As an Early Years practitioner, you must clearly commit to holistically
developing each child. Our nursery uses a curiosity-inspired approach and a
firm focus on the EYFS prime areas. While we focus on academic achievement for
every child, we also focus on the social, emotional, and physical development
of all our students to ensure a successful start to more formal schooling once
our youngest students transition from nursery to Pre-KG.
We are looking for experienced teachers with strong knowledge of the English
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and a curiosity-inspired approach that
creates environments and learning experiences where our children can thrive,
think for themselves, and direct their learning. You will need to design play
opportunities around children's interests, providing various play experiences
that support the sound development of cognitive, physical, social and
emotional development.
As a facilitator, you will ensure resources and interactions with adults are
meaningful. Alongside learning through play, you will plan for a balance of
adult-facilitated and child-initiated activities. You will be able to teach
students of all abilities and demonstrate a proven track record of securing
outstanding student outcomes.
It is highly desirable that you have experience with the curiosity approach or
Montessori training. As a practitioner, you should have knowledge and
expertise in planning rich, engaging, and challenging learning experiences for
your students, have a strong understanding of assessment and its use in the
classroom, and most importantly have a passion for stretching students to
achieve their potential and beyond.

The BWA Community

BWA teachers are part of a community which is cohesive, spirited and sociable.
BWA teachers enjoy genuine friendships with their colleagues, positive
relationships with school leaders, who care for their well-being, and are a
team in the true sense. BWA teachers are flexible, problem solvers and are not
fazed by the more mundane challenges of developing a new school. At BWA
teachers are expected to be good-humoured and build positive working
relationships with families. All staff are encouraged to be creative and
partake/lead community events.
