Default Are there any teachers out there

Hi

I have been searching for teaching positions in Dubai. Have tried TES and written directly to a few schools. No response. Are there any teachers out there? Hello? What do you have to do to get a teaching job out there ? I keep hearing that there are loads of teaching jobs out there. I'm going out to Dubai in April. Can anyone please help?

have you contacted GEMS Education? they seem to be recruiting all the time, and there were a load of jobs on the TES site a few weeks back.

You seem to be doing the right things. I think if you search the wiki on here you will get a list of pretty much all the expat schools out here. Staff turnover is high-ish and every year sees a new influx of teachers, plus there are many new schools opening both in Abu Dhabi & Dubai....

Keep applying and you should get some joy. Pay levels vary - the better schools (e.g. DC, JES) pay a reasonable salary & benefits... Others suck....

Repton apparently pays well but that is due to the extortionate fees they charge the parents, had a fight on EW about this today

Thanks for responding. I've just filled in their on-line application form today. Would it be worth going to visit some of High schools out there when I'm out there in April ? I feel their un-contactable from here ? No one replies.

Yes, definitely. A mate of mine was a head teacher at an inner London school, he came out here to see if it he liked it, went around a few of the schools here and walked away with 3 offers...

My sister and her husband live out in Dubai so I'm staying with them for a couple of months. I've seen jobs at EIS that looking interesting. I'm an English teacher (GCSE)

Try DC. They had a vacancy for GCSE English a few weeks back, someone I know was offered it but didn't want it (chose maternity over career; DC is a nice college to work at...)
