Jobs in the UAE THREAD

Recommended Posts

^Teach anywhere is a great site. The best schools (British Curriculum) have recruitment days in the UK in the Autumn term (for the following Sept.) which means that the best posts or Sept.2009 are most likely already filled. Best employers (from the grapevine) are GEMs schools (several across the UAE), in Dubai there are Raffels International Jumeirah Primary School, Jumeirah English Speaking School, School, School of Research Science (some management issues here but it's a lovely British-Islamic school) and Star International Schools.

 

Steer clear of e-waseet, gulf news and dubbizzle job classifieds - they are targeting people based in Dubai and so you won't get the best salary / package offers.

 

Teachers don't enjoy double salary like the construction workers, in fact you may have to get a salary cut but packages which again aren't as great as those of finance / construction, you'll still get housing allowance (shared flat, mostly), flights, medical. So it's possible to have fun, shop and save a little- if you are single. With a family as sole breadwinner, it's gonna be hard. Everything is up for negotiation here, so do your research on costs of living, average salary and have an idea of how much your salary should be (realistically, we all think that we're worth millions) before applying or the interview- you will be asked- so be prepared. eslcafe.com is a good site, so is expatwoman.com

 

Oh, just noticed you said educator as opposed to teacher. If you are a learning mentor or guidance counsellor - there's nothing here for you. The UAE / ME is just not there yet.
