As part of our commitment to developing our teachers, graduate teachers will benefit from our accreditation with British Schools Overseas and enrollment to our NQT programme, while our more experienced teachers are in a unique position to consider career opportunities across the world - especially as we expand into more and more countries. GEMS teachers are at the forefront of opportunities for growth and development, with most of our leaders coming from within the GEMS network of schools.

As well as being a great place to work, Dubai is a vibrant, cosmopolitan, rapidly expanding city where the sun shines all year round. Teachers in Dubai enjoy an exciting lifestyle, with opportunities for new and exciting leisure activities and travel across the region and further afield

We are looking for an outstanding, innovative leader to join the GEMS Founders Family. The successful candidate will play a key role in the Associate Senior Leadership Team.

- Lead and support professional development for staff within the SEN team.
- Oversee the development, implementation, and review of Individual Education Plans.
- Maintain and monitor the school's provision for students with SEN, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and best practices.

The successful applicant will have the following:

- A certified teaching qualification, at degree level such as B.Ed, PGCE, PGDE or equivalent. Open University or online degrees are not acceptable.
- At least 5 years of solid and demonstrable experience in Primary School in a British curriculum school.
