Catherine Stockford Senior International Schools Consultant
Primary Teacher
Location: Sharjah, UAE
Region: Middle East
Start Date: January 2027
Curriculum: Australian (VIC)
Length of Contract: 2 years (renewable)
This school is part of an international group with several campuses across the emirate of Sharjah in the UAE, and due to ongoing growth in their school communities, they are seeking passionate and committed educators to join the team. The group is a leading not-for-profit international education provider in the UAE, educating students from over 80 nationalities. An Australian school group offering the Australian (Victorian) curriculum to 4000+ students, this is the largest provider of the Victorian F-10 curriculum outside Australia. The group is known for its commitment to academic excellence, innovative teaching methods, and a nurturing environment that empowers students to reach their full potential; they are dedicated to preparing students for success in an ever-changing global landscape.
Sharjah is the cultural capital of the UAE, and this school is located in the capital of this stunning emirate, off the West Coast of the UAE, and just 15 minutes from downtown Dubai. Sharjah offers a vibrant and welcoming lifestyle for expats, blending rich cultural heritage with modern conveniences, boasting world‑class museums, beautifully restored historic districts, and a strong sense of community. Its cost of living is generally more affordable than neighbouring Dubai while still providing easy access to top‑tier amenities and clean beaches, remaining family‑friendly and safe, with a calm atmosphere enriching daily life. With its strategic location, diverse expat population, and ongoing development, Sharjah is an appealing and rewarding place to live and work.
You will be teaching a class at Primary level between Prep to Grade 3 using the Australian (VIC) curriculum. Specialisms in Visual Arts, Music and PE from Prep to Grade 5 are also welcome as there may be scope for a more subject‑aligned role for the right candidate in future.
