Their future matters. So does yours.

Teaching & leadership roles in Abu Dhabi with Nord Anglia Education

23 January 2027 at Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi and The British International School Abu Dhabi

The question that sparks a brilliant discussion. The student who discovers what they’re capable of. The moment you realise you’re still learning, too. These are the experiences that make a school life extraordinary – for teachers as well as students.

At Nord Anglia Education, you’ll have the freedom to inspire, opportunities to keep growing, and the backing of a global family of 90+ schools.

Join us in Abu Dhabi on Saturday 23 January 2027 for a recruitment day across two of our outstanding Abu Dhabi schools:

• Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi (Morning)
• The British International School Abu Dhabi (Afternoon)

Meet both principals, discover what makes each school special, and interview for a role on the day. We’ll provide transportation between the campuses.

We’re welcoming teachers and senior leaders across all subjects and phases.

Your next chapter could start here. Apply with your preferred role, and we’ll confirm your interview details if you’re shortlisted.

On the day:

If you’re invited to attend, you can expect your day to include:

• The morning at Nord Anglia International School Abu Dhabi, with registration, a welcome from the principal, a campus tour, and a school showcase
• Free bus transfer to The British International School Abu Dhabi
• The afternoon at The British International School Abu Dhabi, with a welcome from the principal, a campus tour, and a school showcase
• Plenty of time to meet the teams and departments you could be working with
• A scheduled 1:1 interview with the leadership panel for your role
• A faster route to an offer compared to a multi-stage remote process

What we’re looking for:

• A recognised teaching qualification or licence for your subject or phase (for SLT roles: relevant leadership experience)
• Classroom or leadership experience (we’ll go through what each role needs at interview)
• Strong teaching or leadership experience in your subject or phase, and real care for your students’ progress and day-to-day wellbeing, not just their results
• Availability to attend in person in Abu Dhabi on 23 January 2027
• Willingness to relocate to Abu Dhabi (if applicable) – we’ll provide visa and work permit sponsorship
• Readiness and commitment to grow with the school long-term
• Willingness to complete our standard safeguarding and background checks

What to bring: a printed copy of your CV and photo ID.
