Al Maktoum City, United Arab Emirates Hartland International School Full time

Hartland International School seeks to appoint an exceptional Teacher of Primary Music to support our expansion and provision across this phase of the school.

Our School

The school which opened in September 2015, has already established a reputation for excellence in learning, teaching and leadership in the region. Our student body consists of just over 1700 students from nearly 108 nationalities, making Hartland a truly international community where a strong blend of academic challenge, enrichment opportunities and pastoral support for all, targets and inspires excellence. All that we do is underpinned by a values-based family community of teachers, children and parents providing the best possible education for every child in our care.

The Post

Applications are invited from suitably qualified individuals who are passionate and forward thinking and who will thrive in the vibrant learning environment of Hartland. By being ambitious, not only for students but for yourself, you will help us build and maintain a successful programme of study in Music by sharing in the responsibility for teaching, learning, enrichment and pastoral care. The successful candidate will also be expected to make a contribution to our unique and strong enrichment programme which ensures that learning and opportunity are diverse for all.

Music is taught across the whole school from FS1 to Year 13 using the English National Curriculum as a starting point but using an enhanced curriculum that has been devised by staff at Hartland. As part of the Primary curriculum students learn music through instrument playing and at Key Stage 2, all year groups have an instrument assigned that they learn for a year. At Key Stage 3 we focus on the 3 core skills of listening, composing and performing, taught through various units such as Blues and Film Music in preparation for GCSE. At GCSE and A Level we follow the Edexcel specifications.

Music is taught in a well-resourced music department and students have access to 8 practice rooms, a music technology room equipped with Macs and MIDI keyboard setups and a state of the art recording studio with large live room. The jewel in the crown is our 640 seat theatre where we host most of our performances. We also have 6 peripatetic teachers who come in every week to teach one to one private music lesson.

Extra-curricular activities form a large part of what we do and we currently run 2 musicals a year (one primary and one secondary), a range of choirs, small chamber style ensembles and pop bands. We have regular concerts, giving students the chance to perform in a range of performance spaces throughout the year. The highlight of our extra-curricular provision is the Junior elite choir, which was recently named 'UAE Junior choir of the year 2024' at the prestigious Choirfest competition.

The successful candidate will:


• Hold a relevant degree and teaching qualification


• Have experience of teaching Music whether that be in the UK or in an international setting


• Have a minimum two years teaching experience


• Have exceptional communication skills


• Be committed to the Hartland Values which can be found on our website

In return you will have the opportunity to work in a premium state-of-the-art modern school with a committed and dedicated staff. We have a pro-active approach to continuing professional, personal development and wellbeing, and the successful candidate will join a school where our values and our community are integral to our ethos. You will receive a competitive and attractive tax-free salary, high quality fully furnished accommodation, private medical insurance, annual airfare to home country and an 'End of Service Gratuity'.

Policies for safer recruitment are aligned with the recommendations of the International Task Force on Child Protection. At Hartland International School we hold ourselves to a high standard of effective practices in relation to child protection and we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We expect all staff and volunteers to share in this commitment. Successful applicants will be subject to various background checks including, receipt of satisfactory references, proof of relevant qualifications, identification and police checks, including overseas checks.

The school is also committed to equality of opportunity and to the culture and principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.

How to Apply

The closing date for this position is 2 June 2024. Early applications are encouraged as we may interview on receipt of applications, prior to the closing deadline. Start date for this position is August 2024.

Candidates wishing to apply should complete the application form and upload it with a CV and covering letter to the HR Manager, Mrs Elizabeth Riley. Please include a recent photograph.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide a video of them teaching unless they are UAE based, in which case they will be invited to teach a lesson in school.

Your application should contain the names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers of three professional referees and include your current Head of School. Applications will only be considered if they are complete and through the TES portal. Please do not email your application directly.
