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 opened the school’s new, purpose-built campus to our first cohort of students and began to do what Nord Anglia does best: make every moment at school count. Our mission is to help our students prepare for their futures, think creatively outside the box, develop healthy resilience, global awareness, and be team players.

The Role

As a member of our growing Primary team, you will contribute to the development of a world-class Primary School section. You will work closely alongside Primary 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 of a founding member of the Primary team 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. The start date for this position is August 2025.

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.
