Length of Position: 2 year contract

Description: A new school run by a very successful British schools group is opening up a new campus in Abu Dhabi. A very well respected name in Education, this group has schools around the world catering for expatriate families abroad.

They seek several Early Years/ Reception/ Kindergarten teachers for the 2009/10 school year, starting in September 09. Candidates must have a strong work history with over 2 years in a long term or permanent role.

Abu Dhabi, despite the economic crisis in the rest of the world, is thriving. As the capital of the United Arab Emirates, it hosts the embassies and provides a lively expatriate lifestyle for lucky teachers selected to work there. With beaches, bars and restaurants, Abu Dhabi has something for everyone!

Highlights: Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is the principal city of the largest emirate of the same name and is home to the government and royal family. The island city of Abu Dhabi is a lush, modern metropolis, complete with tree lined boulevards, towering skyscrapers, dazzling shopping malls and luxurious international hotels, brimming with vibrancy. Abu Dhabi is growing rapidly, and its evolution from quiet village to thriving metropolis has been remarkable, a testament to the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed, and the energy and drive of its people.
The high rise central business district is home to imaginatively designed buildings which provide a dramatic back drop to the corniche area, bordered by the sparkling azure waters of the Arabian Gulf offering a striking contrast to the large parks and green boulevards that spread across the island. Further inland the high-rises make way for beautiful villas, low rise apartment blocks and quieter tree-lined streets. Nothing here stands still, and future developments promise an even more exciting skyline!

The outstanding aspect of life in Abu Dhabi it is dramatic contrast to its commercial neighbor, Dubai. Abu Dhabi offers all of the attractions and amenities you would expect of a modern city, but in a tranquil and relaxing setting, without the dust choking development and traffic congested streets of Dubai. Although Abu Dhabi is spending its oil and commercial wealth at a startling rate, fast on the heels of Dubai, you hardly notice the development and construction that has been contained to outlying and off shore regions.

The UAE's culture is tolerant and welcoming, and visitors are sure to be charmed by the genuine friendliness of the people. Abu Dhabi is a melting pot of nationalities and cultures; all of which are embraced without losing the cultural and national identity of which the UAE's people are justifiably proud; a culture and heritage inextricably linked to its religion. Indeed you will find the greatest concentration of mosques in Abu Dhabi than in any other part of the Muslim world. And that is another welcoming differentiator from life in Dubai; you feel the culture, you see locals, you feel as if you experiencing the Middle East.

Abu Dhabi offers a unique Arabian cultural experience comfortably balanced with the attractions of a western expatriate lifestyle.
