Job Summary
The international school in Dubai is looking for a qualified psychology teacher. Background of the National Curriculum of England and Wales is desirable but not essential. Newly qualified teachers are welcome to apply. This is an international K-18 co- educational establishment delivering an adapted version of the National Curriculum of England and Wales to 1500 students from over 50 nationalities; only 4% of the student body is represented by the United Kingdom.
