About the school
Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi (NAS Abu Dhabi) lies at the heart
of the Emirate, on Al Reem Island. In August ‎2023, we will open the school 's
new, purpose-built campus to our first cohort of students and begin to do what
Nord Anglia does best: make every moment at school count. We'll help our
students prepare for their futures, think creatively outside the box, develop
healthy resilience and global awareness, and be team players. Through
personalised learning, our students will thrive academically, socially, and
emotionally, and achieve more than they ever thought possible.
The Role
As a founding member of the school team, you will contribute to the
development of a world-class Arabic & Islamic Studies department. You will
work closely alongside academic colleagues to create an outstanding
environment which will ensure our school offers the very best international
experience for students, delivering learning opportunities inside and outside
the classroom to an outstanding level for our students.
Outside of the classroom, the role requires an empathy and understanding of
private education in the overseas market, and a willingness to support the
school in marketing, recruiting and retaining the student body as we continue
to grow.
About You
You will be an exceptional teacher who is passionate about their profession
and seeks continuous improvement. You will have a positive mindset and will
always do your very best for students, for parents and for colleagues. You
will have strong experience of the UK national curriculum; further experience
of international education will be an added advantage. You will be an
excellent communicator who will work well with all members of the community.
You will have a strong focus on being the best teacher you can be and will
also participate fully in the extra-curricular aspects of school life. You
will be responsible for encouraging and developing further our culture of
inspiration, enjoyment and success. Keen to collaborate and share your
expertise, you will have good interpersonal skills and the ability and
confidence to build strong working relationships. The flexibility and open-
mindedness required to adapt quickly to a fast-paced international environment
are essential. You will understand the need to be an exceptional role model
and ambassador for our school, both inside and out of the classroom and beyond
the school itself.
