Take your primary teaching experience to Dubai.

Are you ready to explore an international teaching role while continuing to teach the curriculum you know?

UCM Education is recruiting a Primary Teacher for a British-curriculum international school in Dubai. We would like to hear from teachers with KS1 or KS2 experience who bring engaging teaching, strong classroom practice and a commitment to helping children succeed.

For a teacher considering their first overseas move—or their next international position—this is an opportunity to broaden your experience in a different school community and make Dubai your next home.

Expected salary range approximately £30,000–£40,000 per annum, depending on qualifications, experience and the school’s package. Salaries are paid in AED. Accommodation arrangements and other benefits will be explained when discussing the relevant opportunity.

WHY CONSIDER DUBAI?
Dubai offers the opportunity to combine an international teaching career with life in a city known for its beaches, restaurants, cultural attractions and connections to destinations across the region and beyond.

For teachers with English National Curriculum experience, a British-curriculum school provides a familiar professional foundation while introducing new perspectives, colleagues and pupils from different backgrounds.

You will:

- Plan and deliver engaging lessons in line with the English National Curriculum.

- Adapt teaching to support different abilities and learning needs.

- Assess pupil progress and use it to guide your teaching.

- Create a positive, inclusive and well-managed classroom.

- Build effective relationships with parents and colleagues.

- Contribute to school life and maintain high safeguarding standards.

ABOUT YOU
You will hold a recognised teaching qualification and QTS, or equivalent professional teaching status, alongside relevant primary classroom experience.

We are particularly interested in teachers with strong KS1 or KS2 curriculum knowledge, clear communication and an adaptable approach to teaching in an international setting.
