Mathematics Teacher — Abu Dhabi, UAE

Posted by WhiteCrow Research · Recruiting on behalf of a prestigious school in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Teach in the UAE · Tax-free salary · In-person interviews in Cape Town and Johannesburg, September 2026

We are recruiting an experienced Mathematics Teacher on behalf of a well-funded, government-backed school in Abu Dhabi that is building an international teaching faculty. This is a rare opportunity to join a school at a genuinely exciting stage of its development — not as a follower of someone else's vision, but as a contributor to it.

Why this opportunity stands out

• Tax-free including housing, with significant increments based on experience.
• Tax-free earnings — no personal income tax in the UAE.
• Housing allowance of AED 5,000–8,000 per month, paid separately on top of salary and set by family status.
• Annual flight allowance covering you, a spouse and up to two school-age children.
• Health insurance, extending to dependents.
• Education allowance of AED 27,000 per child per year (max two children).
• End-of-service gratuity under UAE law.
• Visa, Emirates ID, inbound flight and two weeks' serviced four-star accommodation on arrival — all arranged and paid by the school.
• Fully funded CPD with protected timetable time — circa 20 to 25 hours a year.
• Teaching load capped at 22 lessons of 45 minutes a week. Class sizes under 24.
• Monday to Friday week.
• Annual performance bonus of 78%–150% of one month's salary, based on your rating.

The role

You will teach Mathematics across Grades 5 to 12, delivering engaging, inquiry-led lessons that develop genuine mathematical thinking. The school's senior grades follow an international pathway to Cambridge IGCSE, with first examinations in June 2027. You will work within a department that expects rigour, collaboration and creativity.

• Plan and deliver high-quality Mathematics lessons, from arithmetic and algebra through to geometry, statistics and calculus.
• Design and administer assessments, provide timely feedback and adapt instruction to meet the needs of all learners.
• Incorporate real-world applications and problem-solving that make mathematics relevant and memorable.
• Collaborate with the Head of Mathematics and fellow teachers to share best practice and contribute to departmental goals.
• Foster a classroom culture of active participation, critical thinking and confidence.
• Maintain regular communication with parents on student progress and engage fully in the school community.

What you must bring

• Degree in Mathematics, Mathematics Education or a closely related field — minimum 2:1 (a 2:2 is considered where a postgraduate qualification has been achieved).
• Professional teaching qualification — BEd or subject degree plus PGCE.
• Current SACE registration.
• Minimum 3 years of classroom experience teaching Mathematics.
• Native or highly fluent English — the medium of instruction is English and verbal communication clarity is essential.
• Passion for the subject and genuine care for student outcomes.

Advantageous

• Experience teaching a British curriculum, IB or other recognised international curriculum (Cambridge, IEB). Other international curricula considered.
• IGCSE or A-Level teaching experience.
• Prior experience working in the UAE, GCC or another international school environment.
• Familiarity with educational technology and digital tools for teaching.

Ready to apply?

• Our client will be holding in-person interviews in Cape Town (24–28 September) and Johannesburg (30 September – 3 October 2026).
• All applications are treated in confidence — the school's identity is shared at screening stage.

Safeguarding: Our client is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All appointments are subject to satisfactory references, police clearance, qualification attestation and administrative clearances.
