Job overview
Aldar Academies are currently seeking an outstanding Teacher of Arts for Al Ain British Academy, commencing immediately. This is due to one of the school's teachers having to leave the school due to family reasons, with the blessing and support of the school.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the highly successful Aldar family.
Al Ain British Academy opened in September 2011 providing high quality education in the heritage ‘Garden City’ of the United Arab Emirates. The children are taught the English National Curriculum – tailored to be meaningful to children living in Al Ain. Facilities at the school are excellent and include a large astro-turf field, two swimming pools, well-stocked library, a large multi-purpose sports hall, an auditorium and outdoor play areas. It is an exciting, challenging and enjoyable school to work in where achievement for pupils is at the heart of all we do. The school has achieved outstanding levels of progress and attainment, supported by rigorous tracking of data and assessment in all areas of the curriculum.
Candidates must have experience of teaching fine art; experience of teaching the British curriculum is an advantage. Experience of teaching students for whom English is not their first language, would be an advantage.
Successful candidates will find themselves welcomed into a wonderful school family community, where staff are held in high regard by pupil, parents and school leadership alike. Al Ain is a beautiful, green city that offers an affordable lifestyle within the UAE, whilst offering easy access to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Oman all within a short drive.

We offer a competitive package including relocation, annual flight allowance, medical insurance, end of service gratuity and a 4.5 day working week empowering staff wellbeing.
