**Job Description**:
**Taaleem requires experienced bilingual Librarians (Arabic & English speakers) for a new public-private partnership elementary school in the UAE, scheduled to open in August 2024**.

As a leading education provider in the Middle East, Taaleem continues supporting the UAE Vision and National Agenda 2021, establishing a unique partnership between the government and the private sectors. We currently manage and operate several private-public partnership schools in the UAE, to raise the quality of education; playing a significant role in shaping Emirati youth's present and future lives.

In August 2022, Taaleem was awarded four Emirates Schools Establishment campuses in Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al Khaimah, and Fujairah. This exciting project is the newest addition to an already successful partnership with the UAE Government, expanding Taaleem's portfolio of private-sector-run government schools into the Northern Emirates of the UAE.

Taaleem is committed to inspiring students and helping them to identify and develop their passions and talents.

With mínimal language barriers, tax-free income, year-round sunshine, and endless travel opportunities, it is easy to see how the UAE's popularity has soared with professionals and families alike.
